Sean Scott Williams revealed how much he earned for his role in “American Pie,” and the amount shocked fans for being extremely low.
Sean Scott Williams, who played Steve Stifler in “American Pie,” revealed the amount he received for acting in the film, and fans were shocked to learn that the actor did not earn much for his work.
The film, released in 1999, was one of the big box office hits of that year, grossing $235.5 million on a budget of $11 million, and Williams mentioned that his salary at the time was quite low.
During his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, the 47-year-old actor confirmed that he received only $8,000 but that it was “a lot of money at the time” for him. Williams explained that, in reality, he had to find other jobs to pay his bills.
“I remember I bought a used Thunderbird for something like $5,000 or maybe $6,000, and I thought, ‘Oh, yeah, baby,’” he said. “I don’t know what happened to the other $2,000 because I ended up having to work at the Los Angeles Zoo as a churro vendor, so it might have even been less than $8,000.”
