How did Philip McKeon Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on November 11, 1964, in Westbury, New York, Philip McKeon is the son of Donald and Barbara McKeon. Growing up, he began his professional career at the age of four. More specifically, his parents had taken him to a local modeling audition, where he successfully landed a number of gigs. Not only did he appear in magazines but he eventually also made appearances in television commercials.
Over the next few years, he worked a number of modeling jobs, before getting involved with stage productions. Ultimately, it was during one of these performances that he caught the eye of Linda Lavin, who recommended him for the part of Tommy Hyatt in the television series, Alice.
Based on the film, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, the sitcom premiered on CBS on August 31, 1976. Starring Linda Lavin, the plot revolves around a widow and her young son (played by McKeon) who decide to start life over together in Phoenix, Arizona. Other members of the main cast included Vic Tayback, Beth Howland, Polly Holliday, and Diane Ladd.
Responsible for his rise to fame, Alice continued into the ‘80s for a total of nine seasons. By the end of the series, McKeon had appeared in well over 100 episodes. Despite being his most prominent television credit, however, it has not been disclosed how much he was paid for the role. Nonetheless, it’s likely that it had yielded him a decent amount over the years.
In addition to Alice, he appeared in several other television titles in the ‘80s including Leadfoot, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Favourite Son, and Amazing Stories. Following the end of the sitcom, the young actor also began to work on a few films such as Return to Horror High, 976-EVIL 2: The Astral Factor and Ghoulies 4.
Despite all this, however, McKeon hasn’t returned to acting since the ‘90s. With that said, he did make a guest appearance in the documentary, Biography in 2010. Prior to that, he was also featured in a few episodes of The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases.
