Netflix May 2020: What's Coming & Going

Don’t get mad. Get Even. The motto of the hilarious 2006 teen rom-com John Tucker Must Die says it all as four girls plot the downfall of their school’s most popular guy and talented womanizer. In the ten years since the film came out, the stars have become some of the most popular young celebrities out there, starring on many hit shows and films. As to be expected the movie wasn’t met with high praise from critics, but it was from fans and given the execution of their characters and the humor, it isn’t surprising the talented stars have done so well. Check out how much the cast of John Tucker Must Die is worth now!

8. Taylor Kitsch

Estimated Net Worth: $12 Million. Taylor Kitsch by no means had a starring role in John Tucker Must Die but, since many are surprised to learn he did appear in the film, this is a good time to remind everyone he had a small part as Justin, the boy next door who hits on Lori. It was Kitsch’s first movie role, which was followed by a role in Snakes on a Plane and a bigger role in 2006’s The Covenant. That same year he became well known after starring as Tim Riggins on the hit series Friday Night Lights. He has since had many roles including in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, John Carter, Battleship, Savages, The Normal Heart and in the critically acclaimed show True Detective. Although he is often criticized for his acting, Kitsch hasn’t given up and now has a net worth of $12 million.
