-Josh Peck who starred on Nickelodeon's hit show 'Drake and Josh' for 4 years has a new book coming out and he's spilling some child star tea.
-As a lead on D&K, he made 15k per episode. The show ran for 4 years and produced 56 episodes which brought him 900k within 4 years.
-While that sounds GREAT...he had to pay his agent 20% and other mgmt which left him with 450k within those 4 years. Still more than what us normal folk make in 4 years but when you're in Hollywood, 450k only gets you so far if not managed properly.
-He also reveals that he gets $0 in residuals as back in the day, Nickelodeon and comp. weren't required to build residuals into their show contracts compared to adult shows on main networks.
