Case in point, here’s my former actor co-worker Scott Baio’s active “for sale” listing of his Hollywood mansion. He bought it, years ago, from a 2nd AD for over $1 million. Nice profit. Scott is moving to either Florida or Montana.

What do they pay 2nd ADs out there in Hollywood? Just how can a 2nd AD afford a place like that to begin with? I would think not even a 1st AD could afford a house like that, let alone a 2nd AD. This 2nd AD inherited any money or something like that? Did he have point sharing on any of the movies or tv shows he worked on?
By the way, 3.8 million is just ever so slightly out of my price range. How much for a cardboard box in the alleyway? ;-)
