How Did Robert Iler Become Rich?

By birth, Iler was gifted with an internal property of parody and mimicry. “He would mimic everyone in the family,” her mom recalls in an interview. Polishing this attribute, he started professionally acting and made his first appearance on television in 1999.

He made his debut with the widely popular crime drama series The Sopranos where he artistically portrayed the character of A.J Soprano. For his worthwhile performance, he got honored with the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance. This is where he came into the limelight and got wide fame. His subsequent acting career included Law & Order: Special Victim Unit, Oz, the Dead Zone, Four Kings, and Law and Order all the way to 2009. Nevertheless, his subsequent drama-acting career did not turn out to be as successful.

In the meantime, he also made his debut in Hollywood and made a minor and ‘supporting role’ in the films like Tadpole, Dare Devil, and the Tic Code from 1999 – 2003. These films did not become as successful as his AJ Soprano role, and he consequently got retired after a short span of four years.

Following the back-to-back ‘failures’ after The Sopranos, he moved to Las Vegas and participated in many games games – the Poker Card Game being the most prominent among them. He currently hosts the podcast named Pajama Pants in collaboration with the famous YouTube comedian Kassem G and the Sopranos co-star Jamie Linn Sigler.

To date, the 38 years former Hollywood actor continues his career as a podcast host and appears in different commercials.
