Norman Reedus was raised in Los Angeles, but also lived in Spain, Ireland and Japan. He began his working life working in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle shop, but also tried his hand being a painter, photographer, sculptor, and video artist. His acting career really opened his net worth account in 1997, when he appeared in a supporting role in the film ‘Mimic’ directed by Guillermo del Toro, despite which Norman attracted the attention of film makers and critics. In the following film directed by William Roth, ‘Floating’ Reedus landed the leading role and won a Special Jury Award in the New England Film and Video Festival in 1999. With such a great beginning Norman continued with another leading role in the comedy film ‘Six Ways to Sunday’ co-written and directed by Adam Bernstein, and then appeared in a number of films which were released in 1999, but ‘‘8mm’’ directed by Joel Schumacher increased his net worth more than others, as he appeared on the screen with such actors as Nicolas Cage, James Gandolfini and Joaquin Phoenix. Afterwards, Reedus played his most loved role on the big screen in the crime film ‘The Boondock Saints’, written and directed by Troy Duffy. Another significant role which helped to keep audiences eyes on Norman Reedus was in the film ‘Gossip’ directed by Davis Guggenheim. ‘Blade II’ directed by Guillermo del Toro and the role of Scud in the action film increased Reedus’ net worth considerably as the box office of the film grossed $155 million worldwide.

Damaged people tend to gravitate towards damaged people.

I'm still insecure, but when I first started acting, I was really insecure. I glared at a lot of people. I assumed everyone hated me. Somehow that scowl has turned into an acting career.

I've always said it's interesting to watch devils cry when angels want to stab you in the back. I like that mixture.

When you do television, you have this opportunity to drop these subtle hints everywhere. The way you say things for example, sometimes those seeds turn into trees.

I literally have three boxes of presents. My son's room is nothing but Daryl Dixon paintings, dolls, lighters, tattoos and panties. It's pretty ridiculous. It's fun. The Boondocks fans are pretty ferocious, as well. But, I get more Walking Dead stuff now. It's a bonus for me. The same group of people like both things. It's overwhelming to be honest.
