I doubt it was the only thing he sold though -- autographs, photos, also
the London Q&A may have been for a lot more than that.
In any event, we don't know how much SPN offered and what they consider
expensive. SPN is cheap show on a cheap network, with a low budget. All
their money is in the leads. So a typical guest gig is maybe $1000 for a
week's work of filming, think 12-18 hour days, and obnoxious stars who play
pranks. We also don't know how much he typically makes at the cons. That
information is contractual and negotiated. Nor do we know the arrangement
between him and his manager.
I think it's impossible to understand that situation fully without a lot
more information, and honestly? It's none of our business what jobs actors
take or don't or why. There could be a lot of factors -- that have zip to
do with money, which he really can't convey.
