Actor Andrew Keegan, best known for playing Joey Donner in the 1999 teen film 10 Things I Hate About You, has spoken openly about the unpredictable and often minimal residual payments he still receives from his earlier acting work.

During an appearance on The McBride Rewind podcast, the 47-year-old explained that some of the cheques sent to him are worth as little as one cent, joking that the postage costs more than the payment itself.

He added that the largest residual income he still receives comes from 10 Things I Hate About You, while other projects occasionally generate payments ranging from around 10 to 80 dollars.

Keegan rose to fame during the 1990s through roles in films and television series including Camp Nowhere, Party of Five, 7th Heaven and Independence Day.
