Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.

People who go into show business are screwed up.
People don't realize that we, we meaning people in show business, have the same problems as everyone else. Money doesn't change that. Fame doesn't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a different kind of problems.
It's difficult working with very rich actors, because inevitably they become a little spoilt, and the managers and agents tend to control things more than is healthy.
It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
People always think you have a lot of money when they see you on TV.
Most actors are not rich - they are very poor indeed. What keeps them going is that they just love the job.

Mostly, I have to say as an actor, to find a character that's been rich enough for 10 seasons of shows... that's very rare.
Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah.
Being on a successful television show is a good thing. It's steady work. It's a chance to work with a group of people in an intimate way... where you develop a sort of shorthand with each other, and a trust.
