Nathan Fillion & Niecy Nash: The Jaw-Dropping Net Worth Gap Between The Rookie Stars
Despite the critically acclaimed actors' equally long careers, the difference in their fortunes is enormous.
The Rookie continues to delight viewers with its balanced mix of police drama, action, and comedy. Based on the true story of an LAPD officer who joined the force in his mid-40s, the show is centered on the department's oldest rookie John Nolan (Nathan Fillion).
The hit series' spin-off, The Rookie: Feds, is no less entertaining, developing the storyline of Simone Clark (Niecy Nash), who fulfilled her long-held dream of becoming an FBI agent at the age of 48.
The two main characters have very different professional stories, which is not the case with the actors behind them — Niecy Nash and Nathan Fillion have similar career backgrounds and both serve as executive producers on the series. But, surprisingly, the actors' fortunes are still strikingly different, and here's why.
Speaking of Nathan Fillion, let's not forget that the actor starred in the iconic sci-fi series Firefly, and even though the show lasted only one season, he is still associated with his character, Mal Reynolds — arguably one of the best sci-fi protagonists of all time.
Fillion is also widely known for the title role in the crime drama Castle, where he plays Richard Castle, a novelist who uses his unconventional thinking to help detectives in their investigations. For that role, Fillion has won many prestigious awards.
All of this makes the actor incredibly successful in the television industry. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his fortune is an incredible $20 million, and he gets $100,000 per episode of The Rookie.
Niecy Nash is also an experienced actress, with multiple Emmy Awards nominations for her performances in Reno 911! and Clean House, as well as a Critics' Choice Award for her role in Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
However, despite the actress' popularity and accolades, her net worth is five times less than Fillion's, estimated at only $4 million!
A second season of the Niecy Nash-led The Rookie: Feds has not been announced yet, but we hope the spin-off series will be renewed for another season, allowing the actress to reach no lesser heights than her co-star Nathan Fillion. Meanwhile, The Rookie has been renewed for a sixth season, while its fifth one is still airing.
The new episodes of both shows will arrive on ABC on April 25, 2023.
