Cameron Scoggins plays a small but famous character in a big new horror series. In Crystal Lake, now on Peacock, he is Officer Dorf, a cop from the 1980 film Friday the 13th. Cameron Scoggins’s net worth has never been reported, so any exact figure you see is a guess. But his 14-year acting career gives us a lot to talk about.
Cameron Scoggins Net Worth: The Short Answer
Nobody knows. We found no solid report that puts a dollar value on his money. He has not shared his pay, and his shows have not shared it either.
Some websites print exact numbers. They do not say where those numbers come from. So we do not use them.
What we can do is look at his work. He has had roles on more than a dozen TV shows and films since 2012. That is a steady career. It is not proof of any one number.
What Actors Usually Make
Here is an official yardstick from the U.S. government. It shows what a typical actor earns per hour. It is not Scoggins’s pay.
| Measure | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Median hourly wage for actors, May 2024 | $23.33 per hour | U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics |
The same government page does not list a yearly wage for actors. Acting jobs are often short, and actors may audition for many roles before they get one.
So an hourly number can be misleading. A day on a TV set can pay well, and then there may be weeks with no job. Pay for a series regular can be very different from this median. We just do not know what Scoggins earned.
From Greensboro to Juilliard
According to the Nashville fan wiki, Scoggins was born on February 24, 1989, in Greensboro, North Carolina. He has three brothers. He was once in a band, but he chose to focus on acting.
On his own audition-coaching profile, he says he is a graduate of the Juilliard School’s drama program. He says he has worked as a series regular, a recurring actor and a guest star.
Zach Welles on Nashville
His first big TV part was Zach Welles on the country-music drama Nashville. Zach is a young tech billionaire who has loved the singer Rayna James since he was a boy.
He joined the show in season 5 as a recurring guest. Then CMT moved him up to series regular for the second half of that season. Deadline described Zach as a nerd who made good but still acts confident. The fan wiki says he went back to guest status for the last season.
Other TV and Film Credits
Scoggins has a long list of smaller roles. Some are:
- Shades of Blue: he played Nate Wozniak, the son of Ray Liotta’s character.
- Elementary (2012) and The Blacklist (2013): guest roles.
- Chicago Med (2015): he played Wade Martin.
- Z: The Beginning of Everything (2015): he played Harvey Firestone.
- The Deuce (2017) and Prodigal Son (2019): guest roles.
- Wetware (2018): he played Hal Briggs in the film.
- Sleep Training (2024): he played Tor.
You can see the pattern. He often takes guest and supporting parts on well-known shows. Want to compare with a career that has lasted decades? Read about veteran TV actress Melanie Walters on our Melanie Walters net worth page.
Crystal Lake: Playing Officer Dorf
The series goes back in time before the original Friday the 13th. A24 made it, and it streams only on Peacock. The whole season, eight episodes, dropped on October 15, 2026.
Linda Cardellini plays Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother. Scoggins plays Dorf, a police officer. In the 1980 film, actor Ron Millkie played that part. It was a very short role.
In June 2025, Scoggins joined the list of series regulars, alongside Devin Kessler and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. At a New York Comic Con panel, he joked that Dorf survives the first movie, as far as we know. He also said fans have to look closely to spot the character, which gave him room to build him up.
Critics are split. One review, from Tell-Tale TV, likes the fun and the horror touches but finds some plots drag.
