Kevin From ‘The Office’ Will Earn $1 Million on Cameo This Year
Everyone seems to want season’s greetings from actor Brian Baumgartner
$1 million: That’s at least how much money The Office actor Brian Baumgartner will make from the app Cameo this year, making him the platform’s top earner in 2020, the Cameo CEO said on The New York Times podcast Sway.
It may be more than seven years since the hit NBC sitcom The Office went off the air, but the show has thrived in its second life on streaming services, and it is currently the second-most popular show on Netflix. Amid its continuing popularity, the supporting cast appears to be in high demand on Cameo, the platform where people can request personalized birthday wishes, pep talks, and other greetings from actors, athletes, musicians, and former Trump aides.
Brain Baumgartner, the actor who played the oafish accountant Kevin Malone on the show, records personalized greetings on Cameo for $195, which means he either recorded more than 5,000 greetings to earn a million dollars this year, or he charges more for corporate bookings.
