How Did Pauly D Make His Money?

Pauly D was already working as a DJ when he got cast in ‘Jersey Shore’ in 2009. He says he never really auditioned for the show and that it all happened organically when MTV reps approached him on MySpace with a message that they liked his “look”. The casting directors from LA contacted him to ask if they could send a crew down to Rhode Island and film a day in his life. He agreed, and the film crew shot him at the gym, getting a tan, and partying at a local nightclub. Six months later, Pauly D was told that he got a spot on ‘Jersey Shore’.
