Here’s How Much the Cast of Your Favorite TV Shows Make From the Reruns
Most television and film actors encounter difficult financial times before they become stable. Unless they are able to secure a role in a lengthy TV series with a huge paycheck per episode, it’s highly unlikely they will make enough money to retire quickly, and perhaps that’s why they’re constantly searching for the next project.
Most television series go off-air after a few seasons, but some famous and long-running ones make A-listers out of their cast. If actors can negotiate to earn backend royalties for reruns, they might as well retire to the tropics and wait to earn millions every year. That said, let’s see how much rerun royalties these celeb actors earn.
Marg Helgenberger, CSI
Seasons: 15
Final Episode Airdate: February 15, 2018
Show Residuals: Up to $10k a year
Anyone who has watched the American sitcom “CSI” remembers the hot, red-headed cougar, Catherine Willows. The role was played by Marg Helgenberger, and it’s crucial to see how a tertiary character can still make money over the years. In her role for over 15 years, she was able to make a mark with her acting prowess.
Helgenberger had the instincts to be a great detective, and in her character, she reminded us to think twice about committing any crimes, or perhaps, how to get away with them. She’s still acting, and she earns a yearly $10k for all the reruns.
