Ryan Reynolds’ First Gig

Today, Reynolds gets millions of dollars for each film, but in the 1990s, he was just another child actor looking for his big break. He also hung out with very cute puppies.

His first role was on the show Fifteen, which aired on Nickelodeon. Reynolds said the actors were paid only $150 per episode, but it still made him feel like the king of the world. He still had a paper route while on it, so he’d film the show, go home, and complete his paper route each day. Since he was a kid, he had no concept of what a lot of money was and thought he was living the dream.
