A SG pay check.

tenayaI've always wondered what the actors on SG get paid. UTA is sueing Joe Flanigan:
"The agency claims Flanigan entered into an oral contract with it in 1998, agreeing to pay 10% commissions on projects, including his deal to play Lt. Col. John Sheppard on the Sci Fi Channel series.
Flanigan paid the agency for Seasons 1-3 of the series but has not paid commissions on his $992,250 salary for Season 4, UTA claims.
The agency alleges it also is entitled to commissions for upcoming Seasons 5-6."
So, Flanigan is the lead so his pay is highest. And this is year four. Is that speculation on Season 5-6 just hopeful or do they know something? Hopeful, I'd guess. I bet the SG1 actors were over a million by season ten. Probably. Sure is a lot less than series actor in the US make. I did the math and this is almost $50,000 per episode. Huh.
