You don't understand how the entertainment business works.
Actors don't get or pay bills, their agent or manager does.
That's part of the justification for taking their 10%: you don't have to worry about anything, anymore. If they were young when they started, it was always like this, and they never learned such basic skills.
Do you think when someone famous drops their phone in a toilet they go stand in line at the Apple store with the normies?
No.
I wonder how many know how to write a check.
More than once I've heard a celebrity explain to an interviewer, "I don't know where the bills go."
When I was making big bank, my accountant suggested I give him check writing ability to make it smoother for me to pay bills.
He was later arrested for fraud.
Amazing.

I immediately smell a giant red flag! I'm dealing with a lawsuit in another country, so I can't be there more than once or twice a year. To handle that situation, I'd have to sign a power of attorney. That document was shocking to read. It gave my lawyer pretty much every possible permission, including withdrawing from the suit at his will, and it said I can't sue him, I can't change attorney, and whatnot. Funny, the doc had been in circulation for the last 50 years. I wrote a new doc and gave him the absolute minimum :-)
Did you give him the ability?
Haha nope. He even looked like a scammer.
