How much is the net worth of Eric McCormack? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $15 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2016. Reportedly, he earned the salary of $600,000 per episode of the television series “Will & Grace” (2005 – 2006). Acting is the main source of McCormack’s fortune, though Eric has added sums as a producer, director as well as writer.

To begin with, McCormack grew up in Calgary. With the support of his parents, he entered courses at the Ryerson Theatre School in Toronto and the Banff School of Arts. Then, he took part in the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, and afterwards moved to Vancouver where he entered the television and film world. He has both a Canadian and an American passport.

Since 1990, Eric McCormack has played in many series and television films. In 2001, he appeared on the Broadway stage as Harold Hill in the production of “The Music Man”. McCormack also worked as a writer and director of the short film “Pirates”. In addition, he co-wrote a script for the Disney film “What You Wish For” in which he starred. However, the most notable roles of the actor are that of Will Truman in the sitcom “Will & Grace” (1998 – 2006) created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, as well as Owen Rinard’s character landed in the film “Here’s to Life!” (2000). Talking about the first, Eric was nominated for the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, Primetime Emmy, Satellite, Viewers for Quality Television Awards and many other awards (won Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Awards), whereas for the second he was nominated for the Leo Award as the Best Actor. Later, it was announced that the McCormack was cast as the main in a new TNT series “Perception” (2012 – 2015) on which he also worked as the producer. In this series, he played Dr. Daniel Pierce, the eccentric but brilliant neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia. Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook), the former student of Pierce, works for the FBI and calls him to help solving complex criminal cases. His net worth is still growing.

Recently, he landed minor roles in the television series “The Mysteries of Laura” (2015) and “Full Circle” (2015). To summarise, all the above mentioned engagements have added significant sums to the total size of Eric McCormack’s net worth.

Last but not least, in the personal life of the actor, Eric McCormack has been married to the actress and author Janet Leigh Holden for almost two decades; they have a son.

Eric James McCormack Quotes

  • The show that I do – why it’s not always about [my parents] – is about knowing that they were always on the other side of the wall, wondering if this kid was ever going to amount to anything, or just keep pretending he was Alice Cooper.
  • I think most actors go into the business thinking: ‘I can play everything. Why can’t I play a black woman? Just give me a chance.’ Then you grow up and realize it’s probably better that they cast an actual black woman. As I got older, I realized that my life experience, what I really had, was always going to be more valuable than what I pretended to have. Before Will & Grace (1998) started, I had known plenty of gay men, and had been called names since I was in second grade. So I had enough of my own experiences to bring to it. It’s harder to play a murderer. I would never kill anyone. …I wasn’t uncomfortable with any of the physicality that came with it: of looking at a guy and coming on to him, or thinking he was attractive.
  • That’s the hard part of television. When you walk into the network tests, you’re signing away seven years of your life. That was the only trepidation I had about Will & Grace (1998). It had nothing to do with the sexuality of the character. It was more: this could be the next 7 to 10 years of my life.

Eric James McCormack Important Facts

  • The producers of the Highlander (1992) television series liked Eric’s performance in Lonesome Dove: The Series (1994) so much that they created a character specially for him. In the “Highlander” episode, Highlander: Manhunt (1996), McCormack played “Matthew McCormick”, an immortal working as a federal who tracks serial killers. The producers were so happy with this episode they considered giving Eric his own spin-off series.
  • Named his son Finnigan after the puppet in Mr. Dressup (1967). He refers to his acting repertoire as his “tickle trunk” also from that show.
  • Set up his own production company called Big Cattle Productions to develop ideas for TV. The name of his company came about, as is usually the case for Eric, out of humor. By shortening the word production you get Big Cattle Prod.
  • Attended Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute High School in Scarborough, Canada. It is the same high school that Mike Myers went to.
  • Sang both the American and Canadian national anthems at the 2004 NHL All Stars game in Minnesota.
  • Father, with Janet Holden, of son, Finnigan Holden McCormack, born on 1 July 2002 in Los Angeles.
