David Krumholtz, who has worked in Hollywood for a long time now, recently revealed the residual he gets from the 1994 hit film, Santa Clause.

The American actor is known for his work in multiple movies, including, 10 Things I Hate About You and the Harold & Kumar films.

When asked by Page Six how much residual he specifically gets from the old movie, he joked, "That’s none of your business! What kind of question is that?"

Then he disclosed, "It’s $12.73. It’s enough to buy a hot dog in New York."

The Oppenheimer actor then explained how the residual pay works, "This is how residuals work: Every time it plays, you make less. It’s a grade scale."

It is to be noted that David also said that he used to make good money off of the movie but now in recent years, he makes "150 bucks" per year.

For the unversed, the actor first started working in the industry when he was just 13-year-old as he accompanied his friends to the audition and got cast for a Broadway show, Conversations with My Father.

Notably, the first movie he starred in was the 1993 comedy, Life with Mikey.
