The Riches of Charlie McDermott
As of mid-2024, Charlie McDermott has a net worth estimated to be over $2 million, earned through a successful career in acting, in the entertainment industry since 2004, working mostly on television.
Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings
Charlie wanted to pursue a career in acting from an early age. He attended the Roman Catholic Salesianum School in Wilmington, Delaware, considered one of the top Catholic high schools in the US. He didn’t complete his high school education there, however, as he moved to enroll at the Pennsylvania-based cyber school 8PA Leadership Charter School (PALCS).
After matriculating, he went ahead and pursued his dream, moving to Los Angeles at 16 years of age. His first project was in seven episodes of the series “Windy Acres”, in which he played Young Gerald, then had a role in the television movie “Franklin Charter”. In 2008, he was cast in an episode of “The Office” – the sitcom follows the lives of office employees in a fictional paper sales company, and is based on the BBC series of the same name, filmed to look like a documentary, and received acclaim during its run, winning several awards in the process.
It also elevated the career of several of its cast members, including Steve Carell and John Krasinski.
Continued Acting Projects and The Middle
McDermott then worked on several television movies; he had a part in “Safe Harbor” which was aired on the Hallmark Channel, and made a guest appearance in “Medium”, a supernatural series that aired on NBC. It tells the story of a medium played by Patricia Arquette, working as a consultant to help with criminal investigations.
During the same year, he also made a guest appearance in “Private Practice” on ABC, a spin-off from “Grey’s Anatomy” focused on the character Dr. Addison Montgomery, who joins a private practice in Los Angeles. In 2009, he had one of his biggest projects when cast in “The Middle”.;Tte sitcom follows the lives of a lower to middle-class family who struggle with their daily life in Indiana. Starring Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn, the show ran for nine seasons, andgained many award nominations and positive reviews from critics. After the end of the show, a spin-off was created based on Eden Sher’s character, but ABC passed on it, not finding the same interest.
Other Projects
Concurrently, Charlie also acted in other projects when he had the time. He was one of the characters in the Lifetime television movie entitled “Bond of Silence” (2010), which starred Kim Raver.
He also made a guest appearance in “Future Man” (2017), a web series aired through Hulu, and starring Josh Hutcherson and Eliza Coupe in the story of a janitor who must save the world. He also had a role in “Instant Family”, which starred Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne in the film about parents who adopt three children and must suddenly adjust to these new circumstances. Following the end of “The Middle”, he continued to seek acting work.
