The Biggest Paychecks Earned By Your Favorite TV Commercial Actors

The Wendy's Girl

Sure, the company might have just hired this actress because she has naturally red hair. Her name is Morgan Smith-Goodwin and she played the Wendy's girl (aka. Red) and was the star of every Wendy's commercial from 2012 to 2016. Born and raised as an  Alabama native, she moved to NYC to try and become an actor after she graduated from college. This choice clearly paid off for her!

Morgan Smith-Goodwin

Smith-Goodwin showed up in many free readings, benefits, and concerts before landing her first Off-Broadway role. This part was for Freckleface Strawberry, and she is still an original cast member. Smith-Goodwin also had the leading role in Circumstance and Sweet Charity. Her hair is actually not naturally red, but she dyes it that way and has for years. Morgan has made over $3 million from her commercial spots with Wendy's, so I guess that choice worked out.
