The tv show ‘The Big Bang Theory’. 3 actors get $1 million per episode. 2 guys and a gal. The 2 other principal guys get about $350,000 to 800,000 per episode in the final year of the contract. The other 2 women make about $60,000 to 100,000 per episode. The comic book guy should get more money as he needs it as the store ain’t doing so well. They also get profit sharing.
Reason for the pay gap? The ones getting the most either draw in more people or have been in other successful shows or slept with the producer or director.
The movie actors also get residuals. The guy who was the prison warden in ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ makes $100,000 a year from a 21 year old movie thanks to the tv repeats. Imagine what the actors from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ are pulling in.
Any actor complaining about the money they make should shut up.
Think what that mil for one 18 minute episode entails, a million for 5-6 minutes of acting.
Ugh...
