"I never got a big paycheck from 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle,'" says Penn, who adds that he and the film's other lead star, John Cho, each made a gross salary of $75,000 for the movie.
And, in general, he adds, actors typically make money "in these weird chunks" depending on what projects they're able to book at any given time. That's why many actors, especially those just beginning their careers, have to work a series of side hustles in order to support themselves. "If customers are stopping to talk to you about a project you did, then why would [an employer] hire you when they could hire somebody who might not be recognized?" Penn reasons.
While Penn no longer has to rely on side jobs to bolster his Hollywood earnings , he talked to CNBC Make It about some of the best and worst part-time jobs he had to take while trying to establish his acting career.
