Is there a worse fate for an actor outside of ending up homeless?
>>218210131dont look up frylock or john redcorn
He was in A Serious Man, he's got his credibility
>>218210131Hollywood actors are WAY too entitled about wealth. Stage actors manage to live frugally and are more humble
>>218210131do people actually pay for his autograph? I know horror fans are retards and will pay $50 for an autograph from some loser who was in a friday teh 13th movie for 10 minutes 40 years ago
>>218210131Are we supposed to cry over actors now?There are are writers and artists who have died on park benches. Actors are whores.
>>218210206>Joss was not invited to the King of the Hill panel featuring other cast members from the show during the 2025 ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas.[21] In a Facebook post that was later deleted, he said he was not invited to attend.[22] However, he showed up in the audience instead.[22] Joss got up to a microphone setup for a Q&A session whereupon he told the audience that his house had burned down and that it was "because I'm gay". Afterward, he was escorted out by security.[23]Jesus John Redcorn's VA had some serious fucking problems
>>218210131Jason David Frank (White Ranger) was so heavy into the cons I think it really damaged his mental health and led to his suicide. Sad.
>What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? Chicken?
>>218210343Really, why? I thought he always had problems before that.Anyways fuck Green, Blue, and Pink. They jewed the others with Saban. They even ruined the movie, they're faggots and I spit on them.
>>218210131Apparently it's not that bad as more and more actors are doing it.
99% of actors make less than the average (non-NEET) anon.
>>218210343poor baby making a living signing autographs for manchildren at conventions a few weekend a month. it wasnt even a good living either since his daughter does onlyfans now
>>218210398He did have deep depression when he was filming the original show. Later on his brother committed suicide which made things worse. He was known to have extensive communications with his fans he met at cons and tried to help them with their issues. One anon on here said he saw him at a con and his wife completely humiliated him in front of everyone. He was probably overloaded with everyone else's problems and it hurt him mentally.
>>218210436>show up at noon>scribble your name and take some pictures>if anyone acts weird security immediately gets them>marks will pay $50 for even the lowest level "celebrity">if you're down for it you can smash some fangirl pussy after>At the end of it you leave with a tax free sack of cashits really a no brainer.
>>218210504That Buffy actor Nicolas Brendon was on the con circuit for years and his life spiraled out of control to the point where he permanently lost feeling in his dick from sleeping on a bench in jail. I've had my dick go to sleep while jacking it and the coom felt great but I would be sad if it never woke up again.
>>218210502the jdf rabbit hole goes deep>wife was known by fans as being a bitch>son was excommuicated by jdf because of pedo shit>one daughter is a fat druggie who does onlyfans>he was known for not paying his dojo employees >the whole "honorary power ranger" certificate thing was pretty shady
>>218210504Way back, I went to these conventions. You pay 10 or 20 bucks the most and have a picture taken with Adam West and get his autograph.Now all the celebs are doing it, and charging through the nose. You pay up to 300 for someone to blink once at you and act miserable doing it.
>>218210564And the red ranger was convicted on Covid PPP loan scam.
Walter ‘Chekhov/Alfred Bester’ Koenig recently told fans to come see him at a con “before I die” and it made me sad.
Emerald City comic con next weekBill Shat, Bryce Dallas Howard, Hayden Christensen, Karl Urban, lots of whoshttps://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us/guests.htmlGotta be something in it, maybe contractual?
>>218210502It's so sad man. When I was 7, he came to my karate dojo and did a whole seminar. He was so positive and upbeat, encouraging us to continue our martial arts training and be the best we can be. Then he did like 20 back-handsprings in a row just like in the show and we lost our fucking minds. I still have his autograph from that day. When he entered in the UFC my friends and I bought the PPV to see it, just so we could support him. He was such a huge influence on so many people, it still pains me to think his personal life was so troubled.
>>218210725see >>218210504quick cash for sitting on your ass.
>>218210289whiteman poisoned our peoples hearts with firewater
>>218210131
>>218210398You're mad at them for not biting the hand that feeds and maintaining their employment, how mature.
>>218210131getting MeToo'd
>>218210806I find these to be a lot more pathetic and embarrassing than the convention guys. You could tell Chrissy was miserable doing the Sopranos one.
>>218210725This guy is listed right between Peter Weller and Pom Klementieff lmao
>>218210883he'll do great in Seattle
>>218210725>Gotta be something in it, maybe contractual?It's easy money bro. You get an appearance fee just for showing up passably sober (travel and hotel is also covered by the con). The con takes a small cut of the autograph and picture fees (which btw you can charge ridiculous amounts for), the rest is just cash that goes straight into your pocket.And yes, there's a ego boost from spending a weekend surrounded by people who admire you.
>>218210131They can still pay their bills and months of rent by signing pictures for a couple of days. So why not do that if you run out of luck ?
>>218210439But i don't want to watch an anon
>>218210131Yes. See: Robert Deniro
>>218210856i don't think this and chrissy is remotely comparable
>>218211048I do.
People still go to this shit ? I thought the reddit faggot comic-con shit died ?
>>218211240>im ignorant and misinformed, and proud of it!
>>218211213I am.
>>218210131Being blackmailed into pushing propaganda.
>>218210725I'd pay for Bryce Dallas Howard to sit on my face.
>>218210343JDF got drunk, drugged and depressed that his wife was taking him to the cleaners in a divorce and it just all hit him at once. >>218210398He wasn't an addict but he used to party back in the day, he straightened out for the most part but the divorce was wrecking him. >>218210467Anon, he averaged about 3-6k at a one day comic shop appearance, 12k a weekend at an medium sized con and 20k+ at a larger con.
>>218210131I'd rather starve than do this. Even Nikki Blonsky from hairspray has more dignity.
>>218211570>Even Nikki Blonsky from hairspray has more dignity.No she doesn't, she just can't get a spot.
>>218211592>>218211570id love to throatfuck that fat piggy
>>218210725>>218210992>You get an appearance feeNot quite, it's called a Guarantee. The show make a promise that if you don't make a certain amount in transactions they will make up the difference. So Jonathan Frakes from Next Gen has a 15k guarantee, Dr. Peter Weller has a 20k guarantee, Shatner has a 40k and so on. Some celebs will 'work for table' meaning they'll forgo a guarantee to just get into a show where they know they'll make money.
Holy shit Tom Skerrit's going to be there, I might have to check this out. Didn't know he was still alive
>>218210131Lots of stuff is worse, I'm pretty sure a few actors aim at getting genre roles solely to get some kind of con fanbase.
>>218211949Now this is grifting
>>218212379fuck up libtard
>>218210289>>218210206He also stood outside his house with a pitchfork threatening people.
He was kino as Rabbi Nachtner
>>218210808Hi jew.
>>218210502Damn that sucks, didn't know that. I don't blame him as much as the other 2 since he was obviously deeply messed up.>>218210564Damn.
>>218210856>You could tell Chrissy was miserableYou would be too if you had to spend two hours a week with that goomba>So this scene is interesting, Jim wanted to play it as more of a->YOU EVER BEEN TO JOEY P'S ON 34TH? THAT'S A MAN WHO CAN MAKE A FUCKIN VEAL PARM! JOHN GOTTI USED TO GO THERE!
>>218210131After I heard what happened to Yoko Shimada (Mariko in the 1980 version of Shogun), it is better to be in conventions.
>>218210289> whereupon he told the audience that his house had burned down and that it was "because I'm gay"I remember when that happened there was some retards on /co/ that bought that Jussie Smollett tier fib
>>218214244>did pornI want to see all washed up actors do that. Suffer my pleasures, heheheh.
>>218210725>Hayden Christensen ($200 (autographs) / $235 (photo ops)), Ian Somerhalder ($105/$135), William Shatner ($120/$150/$100 (selfies)) and Chris Claremont as Guests of HonorMeanwhile the following names are lumped together with Critical Role, FOTM VAs and tons of randos:>Bryce Dallas Howard ($100/$115)>Cary Elwes ($60/$75)>Karl Urban ($100/$120)>Kristen Schaal ($60/$80)>Kyle MacLachlan ($90/$90)>Pom Klementieff ($75/$80)>Michael Rooker ($80/$70)>Nancy Allen (custom)>Peter Weller (custom - see pic)>Tom Skerritt ($60/$80)>Sean Gunn ($45/$70)>Cigarette Smoking Man from X-Files (at the age of 88) ($50/$60)Interesting how a few seemingly mastered the art of comic con hustle. The pricing has some oddities for sure: Shatner (who else?) having a dedicated selfie option, Rooker charging more for autographs than photos or MacLachlan working for a flat fee.
>>218210289damn it's a shame you missed all the /tv/ threads from when that fag died.>he was a massive drug addict and criminal piece of shit>video of him acting like a fool in his neighborhood>multiple police reports due to his bullshit>had a bunch of dogs in his house>him and his fag boyfriend leave>they left a heater on inside>it burns down their house>kills all their dogs>they blame the "homophobic" and "racist" neighbors>he eventually admits he got high and forgot about the heater while they went looking for shit to steal/scrap
>>218210131It's a bit parking lot fire sales, but things could be worse. He could be selling ass.
One thing I love about American capitalism is these meet the guy conventions where to hustle some money they shamessly just put the one role they're known for front and center and forget the more meaningful dramatic roles.
>>218214860I honestly don't understand why this guy didn't have a better late career, though it may have to do with getting his doctorate so late in life. He was in more than a few critically celebrated roles.>began on the stage and belongs to the actors' studio>naked lunch>mighty aphrodite>the new age>rainbow drive (kind of obscure, but still)>lot of blockbuster and cult stuff>was in the episode of lou grant which inspire gosling's the believer, playing the same character>oscar-nominated director>beat the shit out of corey haimIt does look like it was going back to college chich fucked him. After that it was all shitty television.
>>218210131Its more humiliating to pay a celebrity of any caliber to interact with you for 30 seconds. Photos and autographs extra
>>218214860At least for the comic guys, they usually charge more for autographs because they know a lot of people resell. Charging less for photos or more individualized items than for autographing pieces of generic memorabilia cuts down on the grifters in line.
>>218215396He was allegedly terrible to work with.
>>218214860>Tom Skerritt ($60/$80)he's gonna be there? He's like 95 years old
>>218210502that's weird, I was told as a kid that learning martial arts builds confidence
>>218211618Easy money. Mickey Rourke could pay his rent this way
>>218210467>>218210564>daughter does onlyfansSauce?
>>218210725How much $$$ to get BDH to sit on my face?
>>218215396Hes always been in cult classics (shit that doesnt make money) and was never a big draw. Also, hes a really pretentious asshole and Im guessing was miserable to work with. When in doubt, always blame that. At the end of the day, Hollywood is a machine churning out products. If someone isnt a team player or is making that process more difficult, especially if they arent a major draw, then everyone is soon going to just not want to work with them.
>>218210131The guy who played Stiffler from thr American Pie movies invested his money and makes $30k a month in passive income.
>>218210289>>218214989>mfw people tried to post that he got killed for being gay
>>218210806This is kinda sad, but cool for super fans if there is enough meat on the bone.but this is the saddest
>>218210247talking about movieblob or retro guy?
>>218211722Hes 92..Grim
>>218217846>Also, hes a really pretentious asshole and Im guessing was miserable to work with.>When in doubt, always blame that.Yeah that's a good general rule for 'why didn't that person have a longer career'. Don Johnson was a notoriously difficult person to work with and thus after his 2 big TV show hits Miami Vice and Nash Bridges ended his 00s were garbage and he nearly stopped working. But by the 10s he started working a ton again and he showed up in 3 movies a year--it was around this time where he admitted he had been bad on set, basically been a complete asshole, been a coke fiend etc, basically did the full apologia tour and reformed. Sounds like Peter Weller didn't bother to do that. Too bad because I always liked Weller's (and Johnson) screen presence.
>>218216897>he's gonna be there? He's like 95 years old92. Even more reasons for (You) to show up at our Who Goes Next ComicCon!™
>>218211949but Rob Schneider had his own movies for a bit, how can he possibly need to do this?
>>218210289>In total, police were called to Joss's home 74 times from January 2024 to June 2025kek
>>218217162>For Tylor Chase, the 'survival guide' is no longer a television script, but a real-life battle for health and dignity.kek gossip mags are ruthless
>>218218865You are so painfully stupid it hurts.
>>218211949lmfao is this real?
>>218219063Sure, why not?
>>218210564he was in one of my favorite pc games (i had very limited options) as a kid
>>218217684IDK, I want a photo of Pom kicking me in the nuts
>>218210206John Redcorn's VA was a crazy fuck.
>>218218615Maybe that's why Bruce Campbell never got big.
>>218211949damn that's a huge bitch
>>218210131Losing their legs in a gardening accident.
>>218210398Owe so edgy
>>218216892Like that time he was demanding oreos in the middle of shoot. Just a total lack of class.
>>218220098Eh, he lasted 7 years on Burn Notice and pretty quickly rolled into another 3 with the Evil Dead TV series. I feel like if there were crew members who had a chip on shoulder regarding him, at least one would've spoken up to put a dent in his positive image among his fans.
>>218221117>they're faggots and I spit on them.>Owe so edgyGo back.
>>218217162he looks comfy as fuck
Spaceballs bros, not like this ...
>>218210806tbf he seems like an honest fan of showbiz and the show, he is like that guy irl
>>218217162>curled up in the shade on a warm, sunny dayLooks nice.
>>218214860you forgot the master of the comic con, disney con, anything con hustle, dude was carrying a folding table to set up stands anywhere he went
>be American>walk down the street>see famous person whose job is to pretend to be someone else >asks for a quick scribble of his name>"that'd be 50 USD dollar's plus tip!"
>>218210131If he had royalties and residuals in his contract, he's forever comfy rich and doing conventions is just something he does for fun/for his own ego/for a bit of extra income/to just have something to do. Unless he's an alcoholic or a junkie or has some other expensive life ruining vice. Then it really is sad desperation. Like with Stuttering John.
>>218222116you forgot jewish greed and stinginess >>218222072
>>218222116>royalties and residuals>get hired for job>still get paid periodically gorillion years later because... ???you can tell how much of a semitic profession this is because of how "financially armored" it is
>>218210131Could be worse. He could be trying to hustle people into letting him cook dinner for them and tell stories about the one project he worked on.
>>218222116> If he had royalties and residuals in his contractHe wasn’t a main character. Even then, the first few years are awesome, but the residuals trickle down to pennies REALLY fucking fast. Doing one major film as a side character is not enough to set you up for life. In order to make the “fuck you” money, you need to already be a household name actor playing lead on a major film that blows the fuck up at the box office.
>>218222189It’s not true. Anons just don’t know how the industry works so they make shit up.
>>218222362Any considerable amount of money is enough to potentially set you up for life if you don't piddle it away on nothing.
>>218222362He was in more than just one film. Royalties and residuals from multiple projects would be enough to support a lifestyle that doesn't involve retarded excess.
>>218211494what a fucking pussy
>>218210206>Google "Frylock voice actor">find a Reddit thread>his fucking wife is there posting in an old Reddit thread, months later, linking his website (which contains merch stores, paid autographs, a cameo link, an option to hire him, a GoFundMe ($200 out of $1.1k raised), etc.)I don't know if there's any more lore to it, but as far as I can tell he's just really not handling his finances well, and constantly broke.A lot of people were blaming Adult Swim for paying him poorly, but he got $2k per 11 minute episode, that was probably like 10 minutes of work.https://www.careymeansfrylock.com/
>>218220098Naw, he been working since the 80's and nobody has said a bad word about him
>>218210504some actors even enjoy it
>>218216573yeah no matter how much people cope with the 'b-but Romans considered actors worse than whores!' the power imbalance in celeb interactions is embarassing>wow you're the person that played my favorite character! you really brought a lot of joy to my life! >thanks, i have no idea who you are and i will forget this encounter fifteen seconds after you leave
>>218222520didn't you read the latest one, dude has one foot in the grave and is paying for the medical bills
>>218210131Private Benitez, New YOHK
>>218222520>I don't know if there's any more lore to it, but as far as I can tell he's just really not handling his finances well, and constantly broke.Well it makes sense. He's black, right?I mean, he sounds black.
>>218221987Sad.
>>218222656I checked a few posts but didn't see anything further than him being homeless at times, I should have checked that account's more recent posts I supposeBut damn, the way she describes it, that sounds really miserable, poor guys.I'm sure there's parts she's leaving out however, because napkin maths would imply he earned around $300k from Aqua Teen alone, and he started getting royalties in the later seasons. That was like $30k a year for a few hours effort, he could have been earning twice as much as the other guys working a $15/hr job with him.I can only assume he just tried to rely solely on that VA income for most of those years
