JASON LEE plans to spend his newfound wealth on fulfilling his artistic urges by opening his very own gallery.
The MY NAME IS EARL actor is enjoying the comedy's success and hopes that one day he will be able to emulate the paypackets of other Hollywood stars.
Lee says, "If I had the kind of money STEVE MARTIN has... He's got a huge collection of art, I like the idea of having a big, independently run space somewhere, just have it filled up art and have grants so people can work and exhibit there.
"Now that I have a good paying job and I can afford to buy more work, you know. There's a lot of stuff I'd love to buy that I can't afford."
