    But it clearly worked out for him, I mean we see him on new media all the time! What, you can’t think of anything? Just Google his name!

      I mean he was part of the main cast on Hawai Five-0 for like 6 seasons too. Credited with 130 episodes on IMDb. Dude’s probably loaded and only takes occasional roles for fun nowadays.

        If he was smart about investing it, he probably earned enough to retire and live at a middle-class level for the rest of his life. But, he’s probably not loaded. He wasn’t ever one of the main stars of a show, he was always a side character. Plus, lifestyle inflation is a big problem for actors. Say he was making $400k per year on Hawaii Five-O, he probably wasn’t living a modest $80k/year lifestyle and putting away 80% of his earnings.

        I would bet he’s still out looking for work so he can live in a house in LA with a pool up in the hills, not in a 1 bedroom apartment in the city.

        I think you need to do a certain amount of roles per year or whatever to stay in the actors guild.
