Child Superbad star reveals how much he still gets paid for the movie 15 years later

Superbad actor Casey Margolis has revealed how much he earns from the comedy - 15 years after it was released.

The American star played a young Seth who had a habit of drawing some pretty graphic sketches in his notebook (we'll say no more).

While he only had a small part in the movie, the 25-year-old's cheeky character had us in stitches.

And he took to TikTok to show his followers how much the hit film earns him. In the clip, as he opens a cheque for $233 (€205), he says: "I'm the kid who drew the s in the movie Superbad and this is how much I still make in residuals."

Residual payments are made to actors every time a movie they starred in is shown.

Casey's TikTok followers were quick to comment on his earnings.

One was shocked the amount wasn't bigger and said: "Still making money but I would have thought Superbad would pay more than that."

Another praised the role Margolis played saying: "The drawing montage in Superbad is up there with the greatest pieces of cinematography of all time."
