These days, it’s hard to stand out. In the TV world, commercials run all day, every day. Companies who create memorable commercials find the most success and such is true with the insurance conglomerate, Progressive.

In 30 seconds, the company manages to introduce viewers to their off-beat characters (such as Flo) to show off their famous “Name Your Price Tool.” While the quick wit and interesting concepts are enough to draw in new customers, it’s the stars of each commercial that drives it home.

Actor, Jim Cashman, has graced TV screens as Progressive’s Jamie since 2014. Though Courtney’s appeared in over 100 commercials for the company since she took on the role of Flo in 2008, the addition of Jamie gave the brand another level of humor.

Cashman, whose IMDb credits stem back to 1999, has appeared in projects like Just Shoot Me!, Grey’s Anatomy and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, to name a few.

What is Cashman’s net worth?

As of now, Cashman’s approximate net worth is around $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While he seems to make the majority of his money through Progressive commercials, Cashman still takes on other projects as well.
