Who’s the Boss? actor Danny Pintauro has apparently seen limited returns of his childhood fame, needing to take on additional jobs.
“I went into it thinking, ‘We have to do what we have to do to survive. We have got to keep moving as humans,’” Pintauro, 50, claimed on the Monday, June 22, episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast. “I don’t make money from residuals.”
Pintauro notably appeared on Who’s the Boss? as Jonathan Bower, the son of Angela Bower (Judith Light). The sitcom aired from 1984 to 1992, where Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) becomes the live-in housekeeper for the Bower family, bringing along his daughter, Samantha (Alyssa Milano).
In the years since Who’s the Boss? concluded, Pintauro has taken on a number of jobs to make ends meet.
“If you’re an artist in any way [or] you’re a musician, you need to do something else. There’s the very, very select group of people that are making a good living in the artistic field,” he said on the podcast, which is hosted by Boy Meets World actors Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong. “You do what you have to do, and then you couple that with the fact that as human beings, you want purpose.”

He added, “You want to wake up in the morning with something to do. Most people are raised with, or you hope are raised with, a decent work ethic, and it’s like, ‘I want to get up and be productive today.’”
At the moment, Pintauro has five different gigs.
After nearly five decades in show business, Tony Danza is still finding ways to surprise himself. His latest comedy, Re-Election, casts the legendary actor as Stan, the father of the emotionally stunted middle-ager Jimmy (played by the film’s writer and director, Adam Saunders), who re-enrolls in high school to try to win a long-lost race […]
“I’ve got Amazon [as a delivery driver] and then I’m an acting coach, [which] developed because I’ve been teaching acting for almost 10 years in Austin,” Pintauro explained, also noting that he builds and sells dioramas for an additional income. “I was teaching eight classes at this conservatory, I’m currently teaching for the entire summer at Young Actors Theater Camp [and] … I write the showcase, I coordinate all the monologues and scenes. I teach seven different classes in a day.”
After teaching at youth camps, Pintauro decided to launch his own “coaching business.”
“I have a unique sort of take on it, and that’s the resonant actor vibe of it,” he stated. “When you’re playing a character, you have to resonate their energy, not yours. And so, how do you figure that out? By creating an inner monologue that is so specifically the other character that your brain is off to the side, allowing you to sort of give off the essence of this character that you’ve created.”
