Default How to Go From Working in a Steel Mill to Being the Highest Paid Actor on TV

a fun read about Ed O'Neil's path to success!


I remember when I was living in New York and I was first offered the part as Al Bundy on a new sitcom called “Married... With Children.” My agent didn’t want me to take it. Things were going well in New York and they thought I should pursue more serious roles on stage and in films. I was making $400 to $600 a week on Broadway and “Married... With Children” was offering me $10,000 per show for a pilot and six episodes. I told my agent, “Hey man, I’m 32 years old. Nobody knows who the #### I am. I’m not gonna turn this down. It’s too much money.”
