Tommy Dorfman did not hold back about the low wage she received for season 1 of 13 Reasons Why, even as the series turned into a cultural phenomenon.
“My earnings for the entire first season of 13 reasons why were $29,953.24 prior to agency and manager fees (20%) and taxes. 8 episodes over six months. “I did all of the promo and had KEY ART for this show, flew round trip from NYC to SF to shoot for every episode, was kept for days without pay/working. I barely qualified for insurance. within the first 28 days of release, the show’s season 1 garnered a total of 476 million view hours. this is why we strike."
Dorfman played high school student Ryan Shaver in three seasons of the hit Netflix show.
