Netflix December 2020: What's Coming & Going

The Sweetest Thing was another classic romantic comedy from the early 2000s. The film featured big names like Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair and Jason Bateman. It was written by Nancy Pimental and was based on her life with her best friend and Grey’s Anatomy star, Kate Walsh. It was a sleeper hit with negative reviews about a thin plot which is typical for rom-coms, but it earned almost $70 million worldwide. Not too shabby! It’s been 16 years since the film was released in theaters. Many of the starring actors have gone on to have incredible careers since then, but it’s fun to look back and see where it all started. Here’s a look at the main cast members of The Sweetest Thing to see how much they are worth now!

7. Frank Grillo

Estimated Net Worth: $3 million. This American actor has been enjoying an amazing career! He’s appeared in over 34 films, with numerous starring roles and even a few leading roles.

He’s most well known for his roles in Warrior, The Grey, End of Watch and Zero Dark Thirty. In addition to these projects, he’s also had starring roles in The Sweetest Thing, Big Sky, Homefront, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Demonic, Captain America: Civil War and The Purge: Election Year.

He’s also played recurring characters in The Gates, Blind Justice, Prison Break, For the People, Guiding Light and Battery Park, as well as in shows like The Shield, The District, CSI, Las Vegas, Without a Trace and Law & Order — just to name a few. It’s pretty clear from looking at Grillo’s resume that he’s a well-credited actor who’s been busy with many jobs! He’s now worth an estimated $3 million.
