Overview
- Pintauro posted Instagram photos in April showing him working for Amazon Flex and on June 22 explained on the Pod Meets World podcast that the post reflected a real, ongoing side job.
- He told podcast hosts that he juggles about five gigs and that acting is only one of those income sources.
- Pintauro said he does not make meaningful money from residuals for his role on Who’s the Boss? and that Amazon Flex shifts pay roughly $80 to $100 for a two- to three-hour run.
- Reporters note his low residuals are tied to contracts from the 1980s and early 1990s that did not anticipate DVD or streaming revenue, a pattern that leaves some legacy performers with thin passive income.
- His explanation has opened a wider conversation about the stop‑start nature of acting work, the need for income diversification among performers, and the public stigma faced by celebrities who take ordinary jobs.
