These days, there are many recurring characters in TV commercials, though none are quite as strange as Captain Obvious from Hotels.com. If his name doesn’t give it away, the character gives obvious travel advice, like using Hotels.com. Due to the character’s strange costumes and the deadpan delivery of actor Brandon Moynihan have helped make Obvious one of the most beloved commercial characters of all time.
Meanwhile, the character has taken Moynihan from newbie actor to major star in just a few years. Most recent estimates put his net worth at roughly $1.1 million, meaning he’s taking in around $180,000 a year from the gig. Hopefully, he continues to find work once the character has run its course.
