Not a headline I would have expected to read. Good for Cube.
I wonder if Kim still pages him like she used to back in the It Was a Good Day era?

Was just looking at Cameo, and I think it would feel pretty rough to be part of their Black Friday sale.
Like, if youâre Mike Singletary arenât you pissed that you have to offer a 50% discount, whereas Warren Sapp is only taking 20% off?
Also, Iâm pretty amazed at some of the people on here. I can see it being very cool to get a personalized video from someone like Tony Hawk ($100, down from $199), Boy George ($200, down from $400), or George Wendt ($50, down from $125).
But who on earth is interested in a video from the limo driver from How I Met Your Mother ($20) or the guy who played Scut Farkus in A Christmas Story ($50!)?
For me, the obvious value picks are:
- Rick Mahorn ($20)
- (Maybe a spite pick for someone who hates Notre Dame) âRudyâ Ruettiger ($50)
- Tay Zonday (the guy who sang Chocolate Rain, $20)
- Jay Jackson (Perd Hapley from Parks & Rec, $50)
- Kevin McDonald (Kids In the Hall, a steal at $20)
If you have $1,000 to burn, you could go with Andrew Dice Clay or Steve Wozniak, but I think the choice might be Supahotfire

Am I the only one saddened by the fact that he has to do this?
And I hated the Pistons.
LOL @ David Faustino (Married with Children) going for $20.
Malcolm McDowell for only $100 (!)(ââŚa little bit of the old 'In out, In out.â)
Iâm so tempted to pay Cheri Oteri ($200) to do a âDeath stopped by to say âHelloââ message (from her guest appearance on Just Shoot Me).

@LFS, are you at all surprised by his need to do this? Not really him specifically, but any actor at that level of accomplishment (not nothing, but not great by any stretch of the imagination). Are they doing it just for the money or is there some other angle?
Have you seen his face or heard his name in the last 10 years before today?
He may not need the money, itâs probably just another way to capitalize on his name.
It canât be hard work, maybe 5 min per message. Ten messages an hour, thatâs an easy $200.
Is he really doing that kind of volume?

No, but I figured that the show was successful enough and if he saved a good chunk, he probably would be fine. Also it seems like people like that still work in the industry in some capacity even after the fame is gone, so I wouldnât have thought he was unemployed even if I never saw him in anything.

Does it matter? Itâs basically free money.
I would personally only do it at volume. If someone is going to contact me at random times for some on demand recording of me saying some shit, and that I have to do on short notice. I wouldnât do it for $20.
Like if I got a request 2x/month. Not interested.
Impossible to address his financial situation. He would obviously not be the first person to make millions when very young and then blow it. But I have no idea if $20 is meaningful to him.
But I will say this: even after 28 years (Jesus Christ) of working with actors, I do still have occasional encounters where the depth of a personâs need for attention and praise makes me say âwowâ. So it is definitely possible that having somebody, anybody, out there wanting to hear from him scratches an itch.

I waited on them in the USVI in what must have been the early days of their marriage. He had a mexican burger. She had a fruit plate.

What would be your minimum for say, a video lasting 1 minute that you put maybe 15 minutes into planning, creating and possibly editing?
Unless Cameo adds a separate fee for their profit, I assume that the celebrity doesnât even get the full amount being charged.
My editing skills are shit, so 15 min is optimistic. But letâs just assume 15 min work. 1-2x/month. I have 24hrs to complete each request. $50-100, but it really depends on what else Iâve got going at the time. I also hate filming myself, so thatâs factored in there.
