How Michael Cera makes his money

Voice work adds fees, including animated films and series.
Stage and independent films add smaller sums but bring prestige.
His role as Allan in Barbie placed him in one of the biggest films of its year.
Producing and music projects round out the picture.
His devoted fan base around Arrested Development and Scott Pilgrim keeps older work in constant demand on streaming platforms, which supports his residual income.
Because he picks roles selectively, he balances big studio projects with small independent ones.
Streaming platforms keep adding his earlier films to their libraries, so older titles keep generating licensing income.
