Brian Baumgartner From The Office Makes $1 Million On Cameo

The Office has found renewed fame since streaming services made the series watchable in huge binges. One of the most beloved characters from the amazing cast was Kevin Malone, played by actor Brian Baumgartner. As it turns out, the character was so popular that it made Brian a millionaire years after the fact.

In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Cameo CEO Steven Galanais said Baumgartner was the platform’s most bankable star. He told the BBC that his unique approach to Cameo is what makes him so successful. He sees it as transactional, rather than just a person making a purchase.

“Here’s how I view Cameo: This is not about me, or about getting a message from me. I view it as an attempt from two people who want to make a connection.

They want to make a connection so they give this message from me because it brings them back to a moment that they shared together,”
