Despite his fame, Cook isn't rolling in dough. He drives a 2010 Mazda S3, his previous car being a 2006 Ford Taurus. Luxury isn't the norm in Hollywood.

Cook reveals that 95% of SAG actors can't make a living from acting alone. Side hustles are a must for these Hollywood stars to get by.

How much does Cook earn per episode? For a role in the Hulu series “Dollface,” he made $7,500 per episode. And that's before taxes and commissions.

You might have seen Cook on a Sunset billboard. But guess what? He didn't get paid for that. His pay for the show wasn't much better either.

After taxes, manager fees, agent fees, and lawyer fees, Cook’s pay dwindles even more. It's not the glamorous paycheck you'd expect.

Headlining stars can earn from $100k per episode up to millions, but co-stars like Cook don’t enjoy the same financial rewards.

Like many actors, Cook relies on side jobs to get by. He teaches fitness classes and is launching a protein drink.

Since opening up about his financial struggles, Cook has received support from colleagues. Many fear speaking out themselves, wary of upsetting future employers.

Despite hardships, Cook remains hopeful. He calls for solidarity among actors, urging them to be more courageous, fight for fair pay, and protect their passion for acting.
