It seems like everyone is talking about Game of Thrones. It's on a lot of people's radars, and I personally just can't wait for Season 8.
Variety has released a list of the highest-paid actors on TV, and it was no surprise that characters from Game of Thrones made an appearance. All these characters are tied for third place, and honestly, it must be nice.
To start, Lena makes $500,000 per episode. I'll give you a second to let that sink in. How insane is that? Lol just mad!
Ugh, that's seriously so amazing. I can only dream of making that much. Emilia, you are one lucky girl.
By the way, Season 7 had only seven episodes. If you do the math, that means they made $3.5 million in one season.
Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister, joins his castmates with a $500,000 paycheck.
Are they hiring any extras or something on the set? I mean, I will gladly join. I know I won't make as much as them, but I'll take a couple hundred per episode. I don't mind crying
What an accomplishment for someone who was a struggling actor for many years.
While trying to make it out as an actor, Peter Dinklage lived in a unheated apartment in Brooklyn. Oh, and on top of that, the oven couldn't be used because there were rats living in it. I'm glad he's living the life now.
Can I just say how amazing it is that these actors are being paid the same amount of money?
Pay equality is a controversial subject in Hollywood right now and I'm glad that the main male and female actors are equally compensated when it comes to this issue.
I know that you might think that $500,000 is a lot, but Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg from The Big Bang Theory make $900,000 per episode!
I'm just going to go cry right now. You're free to join me 😭
