6. THEY WERE THE FIRST TV CAST TO NEGOTIATE AS A GROUP
During the first season, they were each receiving around $22,000 per episode. But allegedly, by the second season, each actor had a slightly different salary. In 1997, all six cast members refused to work until they all earned an equal salary of $100,000 per episode.
This was big news. The New York Times reported, “Stars of hit shows often threaten to boycott their series in pursuit of higher salaries. What is unusual is this cast’s effort to use solidarity as leverage.”
This negotiation worked very well. By the final season, each cast member was earning $1 million per episode.
