Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly $400,000 per episode. While this is lower than the reported $500,000 the cast originally sought, it remains a significant increase from their current paychecks of about $300,000 an episode. (By contrast, Charlie Sheen is the highest-paid sitcom star, reportedly earning $350,000 per episode in 2006.)
Shouldn't teachers, cops, firefighters & solders be making this kind of money instead of actors WHO AREN'T EVEN ON SCREEN??
What a bunch of ASSHOLES !!!
It is a lot of money, but the voice actors are essential to the shows success.
God knowshow much 20th century fox and Matt Groening are making from merchandisingetc. The people who bring the show to life (and that includes the Korean animators) should get a fair slice of the pie.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
