Anthony Edwards is a $40 million dollar actor and director from the United States. Although many people recognize Edwards as ‘Goose’ from “Top Gun,” he also made a name for himself as a well-known TV actor with his portrayal as Dr. Mark Greene on “ER,” for which he won a Golden Globe, six Screen Actors Guild Awards, and was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards.

Anthony secured a three-year, $35 million contract to stay on with “ER” in the mid-1990s. Anthony became the highest-paid actor on television thanks to the arrangement, which paid roughly $530,000 each episode. He maintained this role for numerous years.

Early Life: Anthony Charles Edwards was born on July 19th of 1962 in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in an Irish family with roots in architecture, art, and design, Edwards was persuaded to attend college before devoting his life to a career in acting. Eventually, he received a scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in England and also studied theatre at the University of Southern California. However, he dropped out at the age of 19 because his acting career was already taking off.

Although Edwards had another important performance in 1985’s “Gotcha!” he didn’t receive genuine international recognition until 1986. This was the year he was cast as “Goose” in “Top Gun,” alongside Tom Cruise.
