Members dawn9476 Posted March 13, 2007 Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 You could probably add Steve Carrell to that list. I know that this season he is making $175,000 per eppy at The Office right now but I am sure that he will jump to over $200,000 per eppy next season.

Members EricaKane70 Posted March 13, 2007 Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 Interesting that the greys cast isn't getting paid more than the dh stars or even the same amount when they are the #1 show in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted March 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 It's a shame isn't it? Grey's even has a smaller cast than Housewives. Plus GA is televisions #1 Drama and pulls about 8 million more viewers than DH Grey's Anatomy - Contract: 13 Ellen Pompeo Sandra Oh Katherine Heigl Justin Chambers T. R. Knight Chandra Wilson Sara Ramírez Actor Role James Pickens Kate Walsh Isaiah Washington Patrick Dempsey Eric Dane Recurring: 4 Sarah Utterback Steven W. Bailey Kali Rocha Loretta Devine Desperate Housewives Contract: 17 Teri Hatcher Felicity Huffman Marcia Cross Eva Longoria Nicollette Sheridan Ricardo Antonio Chavira Doug Savant Dougray Scott Andrea Bowen Kyle MacLachlan Brenda Strong James Denton Shawn Pyfrom Joy Lauren Josh Henderson Brent Kinsman Shane Kinsman Zane Huett Recurring: 4 Kathryn Joosten Richard Burgi Pat Crawford Brown Currie Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysFanJean Posted March 13, 2007 Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 I read that Mariska Hargitay got an increase in her new contract and it seems to me it is more than that. I think it was more than $400,000 per episode, but don't remember the facts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted March 13, 2007 Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 DH has a smaller cast. Those four ladies are the show. It's the same reason why the stars of Lost doesn't get paid the same. Like Grey's, it has a larger cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted March 13, 2007 Members Share Posted March 13, 2007 No. DH has the smaller cast. Marcia, Eva, Felicity, and Terri are THE SHOW. They are the main cast members. That is why those four got bonuses when the show was a big hit and the rest of the cast didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 The cast should be getting paid more than $200,000 though, although only patrick and ellen are only getting paid that amount. It seems insulting.imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted March 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 Umm No my dear, Desperate Housewives has 17 contract actors while Anatomy has 12. Take into account that Sheridan, Denton, Savant, Chivara, McLachlan, and Scott are each pulling in 150k each Not factoring in the teens and the Scavo brats, ABC is shelling out 2.6 million in salaries for the cast of Housewives, while the WHOLE cast of Grey's Anatomy combined is getting 1.8 million per eppy.

Members dawn9476 Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 DH may have 17 actors on contract but we all know that only four of them really count and that is Felicity, Marcia, Eva, and Terri. And please don't call me dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 Now more insulting than William Peterson getting paid $500,000 per eppy while Marg Helgenberger gets $250,000 or how Lorraine Bracco gets paid $250,000 while James Gandolfini gets paid $1 million. It's how the business works. Grey's is no different than any other show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 For some reason, Shonda Rhimes strikes me as someone who is very cheap and stingy when it comes to money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dawn9476 Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 If that were the case, then the Grey's cast all have bad agents and lawyers because they are the ones who negioate the contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
