Have you ever wondered how rich Wallace Shawn is as of early 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Shawn’s net worth is as high as $8 million, earned through his successful acting career. In addition to playing on both on-screen and theatre, Shawn also works as a writer, which improved his wealth.

Wallace Shawn was born to Jewish parents Cecille, a journalist, and William Shawn, the editor of The New Yorker, and grew up in New York, along with his brother, Allen. He went to the private liberal arts Putney School high school in Vermont, and later studied history at Harvard College, from where he graduated with an A.B. Shawn later enrolled at Magdalen College, Oxford with intentions of becoming a diplomat, but he pursued his acting career instead.

Shawn debuted on television in 1968 in an episode of “One Life to Live” (1968), and then waited 11 years before his movie debut, which came in Woody Allen’s Oscar-nominated “Manhattan” (1979) starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, and Mariel Hemingway. By the end of the ‘70s, Wallace had appeared in such movies as Oscar-nominated “Starting Over” (1979) with Burt Reynolds, Jill Clayburgh, and Candice Bergen, and in Bob Fosse’s Oscar-winning “All That Jazz” (1979) alongside Roy Scheider, Jessica Lange, and Leland Palmer. His net worth was well established.

In the early ‘80s, Shawn played in Louis Malle’s Oscar-nominated “Atlantic City” (1980) with Burt Lancaster, Susan Sarandon, and Kate Reid, and then starred in “My Dinner with Andre” (1981). He continued with James Ivory’s Oscar-nominated “The Bostonians” (1984) starring Christopher Reeve and Vanessa Redgrave, and in Woody Allen’s “Radio Days” (1987) alongside Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, and Mike Starr. Shawn ended the decade with appearances in Golden Globe Award-nominated “Prick Up Your Ears” (1987) starring Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, and Vanessa Redgrave, and in Rob Reiner’s Oscar-nominated “The Princess Bride” (1987) with Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, and Robin Wright.

Wallace has over 30 movie credits during the ‘90s, with some of the most notable ones being Woody Allen’s “Shadows and Fog” (1991), and Alan Rudolph’s Golden Globe-nominated “Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle” (1994) with Jennifer Jason Leigh, Campbell Scott, and Matthew Broderick. Shawn starred in “Vanya on 42nd Street” (1994), played in “Clueless” (1995) alongside Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, and Brittany Murphy, and lent his voice to Rex in “Toy Story” (1995), all of which added a considerable amount to his net worth.

In 2001, Wallace appeared in Allen’s “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion”, and in 2003 he played in Simon Wincer’s Primetime Emmy Award-nominated “Monte Walsh” starring Tom Selleck, Isabella Rossellini, and Keith Carradine. In 2004, Shawn provided voice of Gilbert Huph in “Incredibles”, and also had a role in a comedy “Melinda and Melinda” with Will Ferrell, Vinessa Shaw, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Wallace has had parts in numerous TV series; some of them are “Gossip Girl” (2008-2012) and “The Good Wife” (2013-2015). In 2012 he appeared in the film “A Late Quartet”, alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, and Catherine Keener, and the next year featured in “The Double” (2013) with Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska. Furthermore, Shawn had roles in “Don Peyote” (2014), “Maggie’s Plan” (2015), and will appear in films “Drawing Home” (2017), “Someone Else’s Wedding” (2017), and “Cop and a Half 2” (2017), among other productions.

Regarding his personal life, Wallace Shawn is a longtime companion of Deborah Eisenberg and currently resides in Manhattan, New York City.

He is afraid of heights, and the interesting thing is that he doesn’t own a television set at his residence.

Wallace Michael Shawn Quotes

  • [in 2008, on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)] They worked quite long days on these television programs. Twelve hours is normal. And if you are playing a creature from outer space, you have to show up three hours earlier to put on your makeup. And you stay an hour later to take it off. So you enter a zone of strangeness that you can’t really put into words very easily . . . It’s physically absolutely exhausting. But it was liberating to me as an actor. And I think I enjoy my own performances as that character more than most, almost more than anything I’ve done. I think I was quite good as . . . It liberated me to be wearing all that makeup. I was freed by it..
  • [in 2008, on working with André the Giant in The Princess Bride (1987)] Well, that, I did very much enjoy. He was marvelous. But there was something painful about his situation, because he already had lost some of his strength. Of course it was well-known that he could not live terribly long, because no one with his condition did. So it was all a bit poignant. But he was always very, very intelligent, and he was very kind to me, because I was quite afraid of certain things we had to do, and he was very, very nice to me. He was a fascinating person, because he had come from a small village in France and wanted to travel. And he quite consciously decided that in order to travel, his best option was to try to become a wrestler and that’s what he did.
  • The actor’s role in the community is quite unlike anyone else’s. Businessmen, for example, don’t take their clothes off or cry in front of strangers in the course of their work. Actors do.
  • When I was first starting to write plays, I quite literally had never heard of the idea of studying playwriting. I wouldn’t have studied it even if I had heard of it.
  • When I was first exposed to the films of Ingmar Bergman, I found them frank and disturbing portraits of the world we live in, but that was not something that displeased me. They were beautiful. I thought people would respond to my plays the way I responded to Bergman’s films.
  • You can go to a play that is enjoyable because it’s funny, and then on the next night you can go to a play that’s enjoyable because it’s “disturbing”.
  • My personal life is lived as “me”, but my professional life is lived as other people. In other words, when I go to the office, I lie down, dream and become “someone else”. That’s my job.
  • In my mind, the plays I was writing were extreme examples of art for art’s sake. I didn’t necessarily think that other people would love them, though I thought they probably would.
  • I’m not proud to be me, I’m not excited to be me, but I find that I am me, and like most other individuals, I send out little signals; I tell everyone else how everything looks from where I am.
  • I wrote my first play at the age of 10, 55 years ago, and I’ve always found it a fantastic relief to imagine I know what things would be like from the point of view of other individuals and to send out signals from where I actually am not. Playwrights never need to write from the place where they are.
  • I think the whole system of education would change if I were in charge and had the ability to make changes. I don’t think I would keep Princeton exactly being Princeton.
  • I led the life of an intellectual up until a certain age. I remember [Sigmund Freud;s] “Interpretation of Dreams” was a big favorite when I was 11. It sounded so interesting. And it really was!
  • I sincerely believe that if [George W. Bush] and [Dick Cheney] recognized the full humanity of other people’s mothers around the world, they wouldn’t commit the crimes they commit.
  • I grew up. I began to think the United States had some problems that really required the help of artistic people to solve. And I gave myself permission to be a writer instead of a civil servant.
  • For me, a play is a form of writing which isn’t complete until it is interpreted by actors. But it’s still a form of writing. And so most of my time is spent thinking about how to write a sentence.
  • I started writing plays in around 1967, and at a certain point I thought, “I’m writing plays, I should learn about acting and what it is”. So I went to the HB Studio in New York, and I was there for about nine months.
  • My plays have been strange from the beginning, and they never got unstrange.
  • The life of an actor can be very enviable.
  • In terms of number of movies, I’ve been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I’m onscreen, it’s not so long.
  • Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else’s?
  • In my early 20s, I studied history and politics, and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.
  • If I had even the tiniest scrap of advice to give to a young actor who was figuring out how to audition, I would say don’t memorize the script… The reality about auditions is that 98 percent of the results has to do with what you are, not with what you did in the audition.
  • I’m afraid that the passage of time is mostly lost on me. If you were to open up my head you would see that I’m still brooding about statements, songs and issues from the third grade. The years between 1980 and today went by very, very quickly.
  • For some reason, people find me funny. It’s quite hard to define why a thought is funny. It’s even harder to define why a person would be funny. It’s a word that I can’t define at all. But whether I know quite what it is or not, I seem to be it.
  • You know, I haven’t written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.
  • There’s nothing regular about my life at all, really. I don’t keep a regular schedule and every day is different. It’s all rather chaotic.
  • But because we’ve all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone.
  • When I was a child, I did always feel that people were hiding things, and that they weren’t expressing their true feelings. When adults are too complicated, and cover their emotions with layers of well-intentioned subterfuge, the child isn’t seeing reality clearly enough and gets upset.
  • Children, I always think, are just putting on a performance of being naive and not understanding anything. I have worked with children in films, and they’re treated as adults and they just drop the pretense of being children.
  • After being in one movie, it didn’t seem like that would be my life. I had done several jobs, briefly. I’d been a shipping clerk, I worked in a copy shop, I didn’t think the acting was going to go on and on.
  • Before I was five I did have a lot of time on my hands. I had no job and really no career, and I spent an awful lot of time listening to records. It was more the classical ones, really–[Sergei Prokofiev], and I think there was some [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] in there, and more impressionistic composers like [Frederick Delius].
  • I have an enormous appetite to see life as I know it presented in front of my eyes.
  • I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.
  • I don’t have a television, and I’m just not too up on television.
  • I know that I am one and I’ve made a living as an actor and I enjoy being an actor, but when I’m not actually doing it, I forget that I do it.
  • I don’t see that many plays, and for me, musicals are rarely pleasing.
  • I never planned to be an actor. It turned out I could make a living doing it.
  • I’m a very lucky man. It’s a beautiful thing for a writer, to see people allowing your words to enter their own unconscious and their souls.
  • I’m being mocked because I don’t live up to a socially determined view of what other people think a person should look like.
  • I never grew up thinking, “One day I will play so and so” because I wasn’t expecting to be an actor at all.
  • I spend most of my time thinking about things like laundry and buying stationery supplies.
  • I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they’re laughing.
  • Acting is an escape from the boring person that I am in real life.
  • And my singing, I don’t think I could sing Wagner or opera, but I could probably carry a tune. I was in a musical once, but it was never performed.
  • As writers, we can’t predict who might come along who might find our offerings valuable.
  • Even with my wife, I find sharing soup is hard.
  • I probably have a higher opinion of my writing than the average person, at least when I’m in a good mood, but I don’t really think of my plays as only being relevant to a particular month or year.
  • I choose parts because I don’t want to be embarrassed when the movie comes out. What if my friends were to see the movie? What if my niece or nephew wandered into the theater and saw the movie? I don’t want to be too ashamed of it.
  • I see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.
  • In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.
  • We are not what we seem. We are more than what we seem. The actor knows that. And because the actor knows that hidden inside himself there’s a wizard and a king, he also knows that when he’s playing himself in his daily life, he’s playing a part, he’s performing, just as he’s performing when he plays a part on stage.
  • In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don’t think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
  • Acting is trying to be absolutely truthful; to get audiences to believe that you are a dean, when, actually, not only are you not the dean, but if you walked into the building they’d probably throw you out. That’s very hard.
  • My father was a jazz listener, and I think, at least before I was five, I was not so into that. Although there were records that emphasized percussion that I liked, like Baby Dodds.
  • I don’t happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don’t know what’s funny about a character . . . This happens to be a feature of my life generally.
  • “The Fever” is a one-person play. I decided I would perform it myself, and I decided I would not perform it in theaters, because the character in the play says certain things that I meant.
  • It is hard enough to make a plan for how you are going to spend an evening with somebody else. So to make a plan for how you are going to behave in 25 years seems based on a view of life that is incomprehensible to me.
  • I was making my living from a joke about my appearance that I didn’t understand, and in a way still don’t, because when I look in a mirror it doesn’t seem funny to me.
  • I am recognized a lot for Clueless (1995), but I am recognized a great deal for The Princess Bride (1987). I don’t know . . . maybe everybody who has seen that movie just goes out on the street.
  • From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.
  • The Princess Bride (1987) is by far the most popular film I’ve ever done. I don’t think I’ll ever top it.
  • Contrary to the popular misconception, the actor is not necessarily a specialist in imitating or portraying what he knows about other people. On the contrary, the actor may simply be a person who’s more willing than others to reveal some truths about himself.
  • I have more free time than a lot of individuals, so, instead of talking, I sometimes write.
  • We’re in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country, and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.
  • Interestingly, the actress who, in her own persona, may be gentle, shy and socially awkward, someone whose hand trembles when pouring a cup of tea for a visiting friend, can convincingly portray an elegant, cruel aristocrat tossing off malicious epigrams in an 18th-century chocolate house.
  • I don’t happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don’t know what’s funny about a character . . . This happens to be a feature of my life generally. I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they’re laughing.
