Who gets paid what?

Do we know what Rookie Blue actors get paid? and whose the highest paid?.. I know in most show it has nothing to do with who the protagonist is, but I think Missy is the highest paid of the cast.. What do you guys think?

Ps. didn't know where to put this so feel free to move it if necessary tx

I would guess Missy gets the most because so much of the show rests on her character, and she's the name the marketing depends on along with Greg. But Greg has a much more minor role, so he should get paid less. Based on the total cost per episode, all of them probably get paid quite a bit less than most actors on network dramas.

Thats what I thought I wish they made in the U.S so the actors could get paid what they deserve... I wonder how much Ben gets paid? seeing as his character is the most popular character on the show, Thats why Ian from VD gets paid the highest even though Nina is the protagonist

If there's any justice, Ben should get the second highest pay. Maybe they got a little boost after the show's been sold into so many foreign markets. The cost figure I was going by was how much ABC had to pay. But Universal kicking in for so many countries might have gotten them a decent boost, though most of that money probably went to the producers.

Definitely I would go as far as saying he should get paid the highest, This show's target audience is mostly females and Ben is the reason they watch.. Missy is great too but without Ben this show wouldn't be the same

I think they're paid hourly? I read somewhere that a lot of TV actors make an average salary. Like enough to earn a living and sometimes more, if you make it big in hollywood anyway! ;)

They make way more than average.. Hugh Laurie makes 400,000 each episodes

Oh yeah I know some make big money and maybe the RB actors make a pretty good amount too but I read that in general, most actors only make a living as opposed to make the big bucks.

I would feel that way except female actors in general get so much less than male leads that I actually like to think of Missy being the top earner for this show, since her character was from the beginning conceived of as the heart of the show. Ben has sort of walked away with things, but still...

remember friends' last season - each one of the cast made $1 million per episode.

They do have backing from Global & ABC so they probably would be average for the industry
