"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper, who did his job well."
I remember hearing that former child actor Gary Coleman wound up working as a security guard.
Mr. Gary Coleman's story is one that breaks the heart.
First the parents, then a wife, and finally a girlfriend all in various ways used and or abused Gary Coleman.
That being said while the young (What you talking about Willis?) Gary Coleman was a "star" on television thanks to Different Strokes, his fate sadly was same as many other child actors; once they grow up Hollywood no longer has any use for them as actors. Things were also complicated by Mr. Coleman's various illnesses
Mr. Coleman's adopted parents *should* have realized the good times were not going to last for their son and put his earnings into wise investments and so forth that would leave him on better financial footing as an adult. This apparently didn't happen and when Mr. Coleman reached adulthood had a difficult time adjusting to not being *as famous*, working as an actor and yes, bringing in the sort of money that would allow him to lead a certain type of life style. This didn't stop the man from spending, hence the bankruptcies.
Every man, or woman, who climb out of their beds everyday to go to work has my respect. Doesn't matter what they do, they are contributing to society. I look down on no working people, and never have.
Additionally, rapper Nicki Minaj offered Owens a $25,000 donation as a way to help the actor financially and in response to public shaming of Owens by some media outlets.

Now I’m not taking away from her generosity, but I don't recall him saying he was financially strapped. Like many other actors, they take other work to supplement their income.
