The more I think about it, the more I think Hayden is going for the money. He’s getting six figures for a weekend and his autograph/photo ops had a set number available. Its a good gig and he can work it to make a bunch of money for relatively little effort by doing more cons. If he has sense to be really nice and warm to the fans.
How do you know he’s making 6 figures? He seems to have really shied away from Hollywood since doing the prequels. I’m surprised he’s even agreeing to the show. I did very much enjoy him in Shattered Glass and Life As A House.

Hayden’s getting at least 100K for this event, possibly more like 250K. He’s at least Matt Smith level nerd-royalty.
