Some people might be getting to know Dustin Milligan thanks to his role as the ripped snowman in Hot Frosty, but Milligan has been a familiar face on TV for two decades. In fact, his first role was exactly in 2004, so this year marks the Canadian actor’s twentieth in the business. That’s a lot of time!
Milligan is best known for two specific TV shows, the critically acclaimed Schitt’s Creek, where he played Theodore “Ted” Mullens, the love interest of Alexis Rose (Annie Murphy) and Josh Cogan on the Peacock series Rutherford Falls. He also played Ethan Ward on the CW’s 90210 and has more than 60 acting credits to his name.

How does that translate to net worth? In Hollywood, regular work doesn’t always mean someone is making great money, but someone with Milligan’s career who just appeared as the lead in a Netflix Christmas movie is bound to be doing well for himself. So, how much is Milligan worth? And how much did he earn for starring alongside Lacey Chabert in Netflix’s Hot Frosty?
What is Dustin Milligan’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Milligan’s net worth is somewhere around $4 million dollars. Not too bad for an actor who hasn’t had that many breakout hits, but who has worked steadily in Hollywood for so long. In fact, it’s pretty much the same as Hot Frosty co-star Lacey Chabert, who has starred in a hit Daytime Show, a hit TV show and then a multitude of Hallmark Movies in her career.
On top of the shows already mentioned, Milligan has also appeared in the movies Final Destination 3, Shark Night, Demonic, and A Simple Favor, as well as the TV series Runaway, X Company and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Milligan is also a writer and producer, who wrote, produced and starred in the movie Bad City and produced and starred in the movie Primary.

How that translate to earnings is a little hard to tell, because there are no clear reports of how much Milligan was paid for each of these. But considering how much of a hit Schitt’s Creek ended up being, it’s likely a lot of his net worth comes from his 43 episodes in the show.
As for how much Milligan made from Hot Frosty, that also hasn’t been reported, though estimates indicate a Netflix movie pays around 80,000.00 to start with. So that’s a nice paycheck for Milligan either way.
Milligan shared with Cinemablend that there are a lot of similarities in the lessons to be taken from both Schitt’s Creek and his newest Netflix movie, Hot Frosty, saying, “Schitt’s Creek, there’s a little bit of an overlap in terms of some of the lessons that we have and the themes that we explore here in this movie as well, where it’s like you have sometimes to let go of your idea of yourself and shed that identity in order to discover who you really can be.”
