Dule Hill Worth $3.5 Million

[divider]Dule Hill was brought up by parents Bertholemu and Jennifer Hillshire. While in his childhood, he studied ballet and performed on Broadway in the musical “The Tap Dance Kid”. In 1993, he matriculated from Sayreville War Memorial High School, after which he enrolled at Seton Hall University where he studied business finance. Parallel with that, he started acting at the William Esper Studio and appearing in some TV commercials, thus his net worth was established, and he left college to pursue his acting career.

Hill’s professional career began when he was still in his teens, appearing in the film “The River Pirates” (1988), as Robert E. Lee, alongside such actors as Richard Farnsworth and Ryan Francis. Six years later, he was cast in the role of Roemello Skuggs at the age of 17 in the film “Sugar Hill” (1993), and four years after that, as Kameel in the film “Color Of Justice” (1997), with F. Murray Abraham and Philip Akin in lead roles, which increased his net worth to a large degree.

In 1999 came his first notable role, as Charlie Young in the TV series “The West Wing”, which aired until 2006, increasing Hill’s net worth by a large margin. Before the end of the 1990s, he also appeared in films “She Is All That” (1999), “Love Songs” (1999), and the TV series “Cosby” (1997), “All My Children” (1995), and several others, all of which benefited his net worth.

With the beginning of the 2000 s, his career reached a whole new level thanks to the role of Charlie, which enabled him to also secure roles in films such as “Men Of Honor” (2000), “Holes” (2003), and “Sexual Life” (2005).

After “The West Wing” ended, he became one of the most sought-after actors, and soon secured the role of Burton “Gus” Guster in the popular TV series “Psych”, which ran from 2006 until 2014, which also substantially increased his net worth. To speak further of his accomplishments, Hill has appeared in films such as “Remarkable Power” (2008), “The Guardian” (2006), and “Miss Dial” (2013), among many others.

Most recently he has been featured in the TV series “Ballers” (2015), and films such as “Gravy” (2015), and “Doubt”, which is scheduled for a release in late 2016, which will also add to his net worth.

Thanks to his successful career as an actor, Hill has received several prestigious awards and nominations, including the nomination for Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on the TV series “West Wing”, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, also for the “West Wing”.

Regarding his personal life, Dule Hill married actress Nicole Lyn in July of 2004, but he filed for divorce from her in 2012. They didn’t have children. Spare time Dule spends playing poker as well as working with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Quote
1 I love soccer, I haven’t played since my freshman year of high school, but it’s the family sport, so I just wanted to get out here and live my pro dream for one day.
2 On playing “Gus” in the series, Psych (2006): The biggest challenge for me is not making Gus too nerdy or too cool. Because Gus is a nerd..the only place that’s interesting to me. I think most people have a little bit of both in them anyway. I think that’s where the most interesting place is. I think it’s fun trying to play cool but not really being cool at all.
3 On acting: I learned that the majority of the time, simplicity is the best way to go about things as you peel away the layers…that’s when you start finding the gold…I can’t say that was from my own acting. That was from observing actors like John Spencer and Martin Sheen…I had a chance just to observe.
4 On his role of “Gus” in the television series, Psych (2006): It’s nice to have a character who has all this knowledge, especially an African American character–he’s a very smart guy, but at the same time he’s kind of cool…So it’s cool to be smart and vice versa. So if we can have the character live in the balance of these two places, then I think it would be a fun journey.
5 On working with James Roday in the series, Psych (2006): We have the chemistry off-camera. I think eventually, I personally think it wouldn’t work. We both like to have a lot of fun, and I think that translates to the screen. We’re all thankful to have a job.
