Netflix May 2020: What's Coming & Going

This film was another successful comedy product from the Farrelly brothers, Bobby and Peter. Released back in 1998, There’s Something About Mary was a huge hit that swept the box offices. Looking back now, the movie was packed with a star-studded cast who all turned into mega-celebs like Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Jeffrey Tambor and Matt Dillon. These A-list actors weren’t at the peak of their careers just yet, but their roles in There’s Something About Mary definitely set the stage for many more comedy projects in their careers. This rom-com got a wave of praise from critics and continues to be a favorite pick among viewers 20 years later. Here’s a look back on the main cast from the film to see how far their careers have come and how much they are worth now:

9. Keith David

Estimated Net Worth: $3 million. Keith David has an extensive career between film, television, voice acting and singing. His most notable roles have been in films: The Thing, Crash, There’s Something About Mary, Barbershop, Men at Work, They Live, The Chronicles of Riddick, Armageddon, Requiem for a Dream. One of his biggest money making roles was starring in the series Community and a few episodes of Rick and Morty. One interesting thing about David is that he’s done just as much voice work as he has acting! He lent his voice to many animated projects like Fantastic Four, Aladdin, The Legend of Tarzan, Spider-Man, Robot Chicken, The Princess and the Frog, Hercules: The Animated Series, Halo 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. David does a lot of on-stage work in addition to acting in front of the camera and was even once nominated for a Tony Award! Keith David has an incredible list of credits, but he’s only worth about $3 million. We suspect it’s a bit higher, but regardless that’s quite impressive!

7. Markie Post

Estimated Net Worth: $12 million. Before breaking into the acting world, Markie worked on game shows.

6. Lin Shaye

But she’s also done a lot of comedy like Dumb and Dumber, Jewtopia, There’s Something About Mary and Kingpin. Lin Shaye has now appeared in over 80 films throughout her career — it’s impossible to name them all! Shaye sticks to her film roots pretty loyally. She hasn’t done any regular castings on television, but she’s done on episode appearances in numerous series like Life Goes On, My So-Called Life, Private Practice, ER and Crossing Jordan — just to name a few. Today she’s worth an estimated $800 thousand which seems low considering her long list of credits, it’s probably higher, but the horror films she does most likely don’t score too high at the box office.
