about 30,000 I think

No way - he's the show's star. I'm sure it's close to 150-200k an episode. Katie Holmes made 200+ per episode of Dawson's Creek.

Mariska Hargitay is the highest paid female actor on TV at $400,000 an episode, and she's the star of a show that gets 3x as many viewers as OTH (Law & Order: SVU on NBC.)

There's no way Chad makes half as much as her. The CW has a fraction of the audience and thus a fraction of the money the 4 major networks have.

yeah but i dont think their salary is based just on the amount of viewers..

I agree, I doubt Chad makes 400k but I'm sure he makes a hell of a lot more than 30K. Maybe he made that when the show first started. But it's been on for several seasons now and he is the star so I'm sure it's at least 100k.

Remember when the friends cast used to make $1,000,000 per episode? That is just crazy. What was that for.. 3 or 4 seasons?

Anyway, I'm sure CMM makes about 150K per episode. Sophia Bush is probably next around $120K per episode. Hilarie Burton, James Lafferty, and Bethany Joy probably make about $100K per episode. Paul Johannson and Moira Kelly are probably around $75K per episode.

Everyone else is probably sitting at about $5K - $10K per episode.

If Bryan Greenburg comes back, I'm sure he'll be making close to $100K per episode.
