Every actor has to be in good standing with SAG-AFRA in order to qualify for health insurance, and if the actor hasn’t worked in a while they are not considered in good standing so lose the insurance.
He was regularly working as an actor in 2025…>Imbd. Likely to maintain his insurance coverage.
It’s best if you research these things before commenting.
Cool. How many hours must he have had to work to keep his insurance? How much medical debt had he accumulated before 2025? And if he was working ‘regularly’ why was he still selling his memorabilia?

You have to work a certain amount of day or make a certain amount of compensation as a performer, to qualify for insurance its a little over 100 days or so 28k and that includes residuals, production, and background work.
How much medical debt had he accumulated before 2025?
As I stated in my original comment, you can still have medical debt while having decent insurance. I’m not saying that the medical system is good, or fair.
And if he was working ‘regularly’ why was he still selling his memorabilia?
For one… I never said he wasn’t in medical debt. Secondly, if I had 6 kids and knew I wasn’t going to be around to financially secure their future I would be hawking memorabilia as well.
I don’t think they are destitute, they still have a multi-million dollar home outside of Austin. I think he was just doing anything possible to maintain their financial norms as much as possible.
