How did Lavell Crawford Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on November 11, 1968, in St. Louis, Missouri, Lavell Crawford suffered a number of hardships during his early life including a struggle with weight gain and abandonment by his father. Sometime after graduating high school, he got into stand-up comedy; by the early 90’s he had started to make regular appearances on BET’s ComicView.
As one thing led to another, he started to act in various films and television series in the early 2000’s. Some of his early credits include Beverly Hood, Baby’s Momma Drama, and The Jamie Foxx Show.
In the end, however, it wasn’t until the early 2010’s—after he was cast as a supporting character in Breaking Bad that he started to gain more fame as an actor. An incredibly successful drama, the series had won numerous awards during its run including 16 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, among many others.
Appearing alongside Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and many others, Crawford played the role of Huell Babineaux—Saul Goodman’s assistant and bodyguard. Introduced in the fourth season, he ultimately went on to make several appearances in the fifth season as well, which aired in 2012. To this day, it remains to be one of his best-remembered portrayals on television. Unfortunately, however, it’s not known how much he was paid for the role.
Since then, the actor has appeared in many other TV titles including Squidbillies, The Crazy Ones, Super Fun Night, and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell—however, none would rival the success of Breaking Bad. At one point, he even lent his voice to a couple of characters in the animated series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Outside of television, he has worked on a number of films over the past few years such as Meet the Blacks, The Ridiculous 6, Boo! A Madea Halloween, and American Ultra. According to IMDb, he will be co-starring in an upcoming comedy titled Love Is Not Enough.
In terms of other projects, he has also continued to perform comedy on the side. In fact, he had just recently hosted his own TV special called Lavell Crawford: Home for the Holidays in 2017.
