While Anson Mount made his acting debut as a stage actor in 1998, his television debut came a year later in the show Ally McBeal. He then had a guest role in the comedy-drama, Sex and the City, and a recurring role in Third Watch. Mount then had a series of brief stints on shows and secured a significant role in the short-lived series, The Mountain.

Anson Mount continued his acting journey, but it wasn't until 2011 he got a big break on the small screen. He managed to secure the part of Cullen Bohannon on the show Hell on Wheels and was thrust into the limelight after playing the main character. The AMC series was on air for five seasons, and as the one playing the titular character, Anson Mount's salary per episode must have been thousands of dollars.

Only a year after Hell on Wheels ended, Anson starred in Marvel's Inhumans as Black Bolt. He was on the show for eight episodes and must have been paid handsomely for his works. Then to the surprise of many, Mount was cast as Captain Christopher Pike in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery.

Mount has continued to star as Pike on other Star Trek shows like Star Trek: Short Treks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Along with acting, the American actor also produced few episodes of the AMC show Hell on Wheels. He is also an executive producer for short films like Last Time We Checked and What the Sparrow Said. While his credits as a producer are small compared to his acting credit., Anson Mount's net worth must have benefitted from his work behind the scene of a project.
