In 2010, the drama series Pretty Little Liars debuted, and it didn’t take long until viewers were obsessed with the show. The storyline was suspenseful and filled with drama, and the actors played characters who were gorgeous and always in some kind of trouble. Tyler Blackburn became famous for his role in the series, and some people will always remember him as that character.

But Blackburn has moved on from his teen heartthrob days. Today, he’s starring in a new series, and his net worth has grown to a respectable amount. But on top of all that, he’s living his best life, openly and honestly. And some would say that’s worth even more than the money he’s earned.

Landing the role as Caleb Rivers in Pretty Little Liars was a dream job for Blackburn. The taut, dramatic series followed a group of teens in the fictional city of Rosewood. At the beginning of the story, one of their friends had disappeared, and they were embroiled in a quest to find out what happened. 

According to The Richest, the series was a big hit, and fans followed it closely for seven seasons. Along the way, many secrets were revealed, hearts were broken, and the actors became stars. 

The cast members have done well for themselves, financially, and Blackburn is no exception. His net worth is estimated to be roughly $1 million. 

Pretty Little Liars isn’t the only thing that’s vaulted him into millionaire status. He worked as an actor before coming to the show, appearing in some high-profile TV shows. And he’s kept busy since the series ended in 2017.

His career started early

According to IMDb, Blackburn started acting when he was 17 years old. He had a recurring role in the daytime drama Days of Our Lives. He also appeared on Cold Case and Unfabulous. 

When Pretty Little Liars ended, Blackburn went on to star in a spinoff show called Ravenswood. It focused on his character, Caleb, and the dark secrets in his past. Unfortunately, the series only lasted for a single season. But Blackburn has had plenty to keep him busy since. 

Currently, he’s starring in the TV drama Roswell, New Mexico. He plays Alex, a war veteran who is disabled, gay, and in a relationship with an alien. 

And one of those characteristics is somewhat close to who the actor truly is.

USA Today reports that a few years ago, Blackburn decided he was ready to come out as bisexual. 

“I’m queer. I’ve identified as bisexual since (I was) a teenager,” he said. “I just want to feel powerful in my own skin, and my own mind, and in my own heart.”

He also shared that when he was growing up he was bullied because people thought he was effeminate. To escape the abuse, he would eat his lunch in the biology classroom. 

Blackburn is now in his 30s, and he measures his success by more than his status as a Hollywood star or a millionaire. These days, he’s focused on feeling “as free as possible” to be himself. 

“I just want to live my truth and feel OK with experiencing love and experiencing self-love,” he said.

He may have gotten famous for his role on Pretty Little Liars, but as an adult, Blackburn is finding joy in telling the truth.
