Overview
- Pintauro told the Pod Meets World podcast on June 22 that he currently supports himself with about five gigs and that acting is only one of them.
- He said he does not receive meaningful residuals from his role on Who’s the Boss?, contradicting the common belief that past TV fame guarantees steady income.
- Pintauro described his Amazon Flex shifts as paying roughly $80 to $100 for a two‑to‑three hour run and said he also earns money as an acting coach, a summer teacher at youth camps, and by building and selling dioramas.
- He recounted earlier public scrutiny after working a summer job at the Gap following the show’s end to show how visible post‑fame work can attract attention and stigma.
- The story underscores that residuals vary by era and contract, and that many former TV actors now stitch together income through teaching, gig work and small businesses, changing how the industry and public view long‑term earnings.
