Tim Allen's character is shown to have a house in the Hollywood Hills, which would seem to indicate he's worth millions. Yet he's supposed to be a washed up actor who hasn't had a decent job in 20 years.
The other actors don't appear to be doing too bad either, yet they're so hard up for cash they're making appearances at electronic store openings.

Jerry Seinfeld hasn't done anything since Seinfeld yet he's still the highest paid comedian with $33m in a year. These guys probably get paid from reruns and the show is still on so it's not like any of them are out of a job. They're probably just promoting the new season with the commercials.

Residuals and conventions.
You'd be surprised how well they pay.

He was the lead of a tv show.
Tv shows actually pay better than normal cinema movies.

He probably negotiated for a percentage of all licensed stuff. Imagine getting like a quarter percent of all the profits on anything using the Star Trek brand.
Would You like to know more?

Not all that far-fetched. Even if he's just built a career out of small odd-roles and convention appearances since then, there's some decent money to be made and he's also likely entitled to residuals and merchandising profits. He's also likely fairly wealthy from the original run of the show, and it's very feasible that he could have properly invested the money and is just living off addition earnings and interest.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

And yet here we have another brain dead retard.
I swear.
It's like a convention.
He prob. did other acting guest spots here and there and small movie parts.
Look at any list for any actor who was in a hit TV show and you will see that.
I cannot believe I have to tell you that since you are on a site that shows it for actors, you **** for brains.
And as others have mentioned.
Conventions, repeats etc.
Plus he might have had a great financial advisor where he made great investments or perhaps he is a part owner in, say, a restaurant chain or other things.
