## Caption

Acclaimed actor Josh Brolin revealed in an interview with Guy Raz that he turned to stock trading during a tough period in his acting career to support his family.

“I just wasn’t making money,” Brolin said, explaining that even with industry-standard commissions and fees, his income wasn’t enough to cover expenses. Encouraged by investor Brett Markinson, Brolin dove into learning the markets and later gained insights from financial experts while filming Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

“I made more money than I had ever made acting,” he said, crediting disciplined investing rather than luck.

While he once day traded, Brolin now focuses on long-term investments, citing the demanding routine of daily trading. Confident in his ability to manage money, he added, “I knew I could figure financials out… not just through acting.”
