Anthony Howard Goldwyn was born on 20 May 1960, in Los Angeles, California USA, and is an actor and voice-over artist as well as a director. Although appearing in over 40 films on the big screen and a similar number of TV productions, he is perhaps best known for appearing in the TV drama series “Scandal” from 2012 to the present.
So just how rich is Tony Goldwyn? Authoritative sources estimate that the sum of Tony ’s net worth is over $4 million dollars, as of mid-2016, accumulated during a career in the entertainment industry now spanning more than 30 years.
Tony Goldwyn Net Worth $4 Million
Tony’s career is unsurprising, as he was born into the family of actress Jennifer Howard and film producer Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., paternal grandparents Sam Goldwyn Sr (of MGM fame)and actress Frances Howard, with playwright Sidney Howard and actress Clare Eames his maternal grandparents. Goldwyn was educated at Hamilton College in New York, then graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Brandeis University in Waltham, and finally attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
During his career Tony has directed over 20 films, but his appearances as an actor are probably the most important, including ‘Traces of Red’ (1992) directed by Andy Wolk, ‘Reckless’ (1995) directed by Norman René, ‘Trouble on the Corner’ (1997) directed by Alan Madison, ‘The Lesser Evil’(1998) directed by David Mackay, ‘Pocahontas: The Legend’ (1999) directed by Danièle J. Suissa, ‘The 6th Day’ (2000) directed by Roger Spottiswoode, ‘Joshua’ (2002) directed by Joseph Purdy, ‘American Gun’ (2005) directed by Avelino, ‘The Last House on the Left’ (2009) directed by Dennis Iliadis, all of which contributed to his net worth.
In addition to these, Tony has added much to his net worth by appearing on the television screen in episodes of popular television series such as ‘CBS Summer Playhouse’, ‘Designing Women’, ‘From the Earth to the Moon’, ‘Dexter’, ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’ among many others.
However, Goldwyn’s net worth has resen most significantly since he began appearing in the main cast of the television series ‘Scandal’ created by Shonda Rhimes, as the fictional president of the USA – the political drama series has been airing since 2012 on the ABC, and remains very popular to date.
Tony Goldwyn has starred in various television films too, such as ‘L’Amérique en Otage’ as Jody Powell, ‘Love Matters’ as Geoffrey, ‘The Boys Next Door’ as Jack Palmer and a list of others.
In addition to being a noted actor, since 1999 Tony Goldwyn has added significant sums to his net worth working as a director. His directorial debut was the drama film ‘A Walk on the Moon’ which was also produced by Tony. Later, he directed feature films ‘Someone Like You’ (2001) starring Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, ‘The Last Kiss’ (2006) starring Zach Braff, Jacinda Barrett, Casey Affleck, ‘Alibi’ (2007) and ‘Conviction’ (2010) starring Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell. A list of television series directed by Goldwyn is a way longer; he has directed some episodes of ‘Without a Trace’, ‘Grace Anatomy’, ‘Law and Order’, ‘Private Practice’, ‘Hawthorne’, ‘Scandal’ and other series, making-up over 20 productions in total.
Moreover, Goldwyn has performed live on the stage, in such plays as ‘Tom Jones’, ‘Promises, Promises’, ‘The Sound of Music’ among others, adding somewhat to his net worth.
He has also narrated several audio-books, and voiced a few video games.Clearly Tony is in constant demand in the entertainment industry.
In his personal life, Tony Goldwyn married the designer Jane Michelle Musky in 1987, and the couple has two daughters.
