Antony Starr is now conquering the small screens with his role as Homelander in the hit Amazon Prime series The Boys. But long before the New Zealand actor played Superman’s parody, he had been in the entertainment business since the 1990s.
From doing small roles back then, Antony Starr now plays major TV characters. So, how did he start in the industry, and how much net worth has he already amassed?

The 46-year-old star started with a small part in Shortland Street and guest roles in Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys in the 1990s.
He then had a guest role in Mercy Peak that lasted for three seasons, followed by a major role in Hard Out.
He continued to do guest roles in P.E.T. Detectives, Street Legal and Serial Killers. His big break came when he did the twin roles of Van and Jethro in Outrageous Fortune, winning the 2007 Air New Zealand Screen Award for Performance by an Actor and the Best Actor awards from Qantas Television and the Asian TV Awards.
