You Won’t Believe What Went on Behind the Scenes of the Squeaky Clean Waltons

8. The cast didn’t get paid very much

The younger cast members feel that they were taken advantage of and underappreciated while filming The Waltons. Actor Eric Scott, who played Ben, has said, “We did not get rich from that show.” Scott couldn’t find acting work after the show wrapped, and the only job he could find was as a messenger. Once he had to deliver a package to Lorimar Productions, where The Waltons was filmed. He worked hard and climbed the ladder (there’s that Walton work ethic!) and later ran the company. David Harper, who played youngest brother Jim Bob, also struggled to find work after The Waltons, and worked as a courier for his TV brother for a while.
