Carter’s work in television began in 1986 with the creation of “The B.R.A.T Patrol”, which was followed by “Meet the Munceys” in 1988. Eventually Carter met a then-president of the NBC network Brandon Tartikoff, and having signed the contract released several unproduced television pilots, including “Cameo by Night” with Sela Ward, “Brand New Life” and “Copter Cop”. Several years later, Carter began working on a show that significantly boosted his earning, and, as a result, his net worth as well.

In 1993 with a budget of $2 million, Carter created a now popular science fiction horror drama series “The X-Files”. The show with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in leading roles slowly built its popularity and won its first Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama. “The X-Files” broke the record for the highest price paid by the network to air re-runs with 600 thousand paid by FX network for a single episode. Carter’s ability to negotiate profitable contracts is one of the reasons for his $40 million net worth. Following the success of “The X-Files”, Carter ventured on to create another horror and supernatural drama series titled “Millennium”. The main characters in the show that revolves around the life of an FBI agent were portrayed by Lance Henriksen, Megan Gallagher and Klea Scott. Unfortunately, even though the show seemed to be promising, as it premiered with impressive ratings, the viewership began to decline and it was cancelled after three seasons and a total of 67 episodes. Not as successful as its predecessor, the show still plays an important part in Carter’s directing history and bears a contribution to his total net worth.

In addition to creating television series, Chris Carter tried his luck in making movies, some of which include “The X-Files” film that grossed over $189 million worldwide and “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”. Carter then launched a spin-off series of “The X-Files” titled “The Lone Gunman”. A director, producer and a screenwriter with an estimated net worth of $40 million, Chris Carter has been a nominee for several awards for his contributions to the entertainment industry, including Emmy Awards, Edgar Awards, British Academy Television Awards and Directors Guild of America Awards. Chris Carter is currently said to be writing and directing an upcoming movie titled “Fencewalker” that will feature Natalie Dormer and Katie Cassidy.

Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.

So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.

Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million

Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.

In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.

While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.

Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.

Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.

In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.
