Todd Bridges
Thanks to Diff’rent Strokes, Todd Bridges used to be one of the most famous people on TV. He used to make anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 a week for playing Willis Jackson. When the show ended, his illegal substance use got him into trouble multiple times. It was a good thing that he ended up overcoming his problems, but he failed to find steady acting jobs. In 2013, the actor even admitted that he was making a mere $22,500 a year through acting. This is a fraction of his old yearly salary!

Dustin Diamond
This TV star found mainstream success by bringing Screech to life on Saved by the Bell. Sadly, Dustin Diamond was typecast when the show wrapped up and found it hard to land more acting jobs. In 2001, he declared bankruptcy. Five years later, he was trying to sell T-shirts with his face on them in the hopes of raising $250,000 to avoid the foreclosure of his home.
