“[I got into acting in] high school,” Harrelson said in a 2009 Interview Magazine piece by Owen Wilson. “I heard that if you were a terrific athlete, you could attract girls. So I had to look into some other possibilities,” he joked.
In 1983, Harrelson graduated with a bachelor’s in English and theatrical arts from Hanover College. Afterward, he moved to New York City to start his acting career, booking an understudy gig in the Neil Simon play Biloxi Blues, among other small roles. His big break came in 1985 when he joined the famous ensemble cast of Cheers.
What is Woody Harrelson’s net worth in 2025?
Woody Harrelson has an estimated net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The actor and playwright became a household name after starring in the sitcom Cheers in the 1980s and ‘90s, which led him to a very successful career in film.
Cheers?
“At the time [I wanted to do Broadway], I wasn’t thinking to do television,” Harrelson said in a 2020 episode of The Howard Stern Show. The actor had been upgraded from his understudy role in Biloxi Blues and was inclined to stay in New York for it. “But everybody told me, ‘You gotta do this show.’ I’d never seen it. And then I watched one or two episodes and I was like, ‘Yes, this is a great show.’”

Harrelson played the role of Haymitch Abernathy in 2012’s The Hunger Games, along with the three sequels. The films are based on the bestselling book trilogy by Suzanne Collins, and fell right in that popular dystopian genre of the early 2010s (see: Maze Runner, Divergent, etc.).
True Detective?
Much like his other projects, Harrelson’s salary for True Detective is unknown. He starred in the first season of the hit HBO show alongside Matthew McConaughey. Both actors also served as executive producers.
If Harrelson earned a similar amount, he would’ve made $880,000 for his eight episodes of True Detective.
Has Woody Harrelson won an Oscar?
Outside of the Academy Awards, Harrelson has an Emmy, two SAG Awards and many other accolades under his belt.
