Charlie Sheen is well-off
Charlie Sheen
According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen is close to finalizing a new contract would make him the highest-paid comedy star in television:
Sources said Sheen will earn about $350,000 per episode this season from producer of the CBS powerhouse, Warner Bros. Television. This represents a hefty increase from his previous payday in the low six figures. Sheen also is known to have a significant profit-participation stake in the series, now in its fourth season.
Sources said CBS is kicking in some money for the pay raise for Sheen, as has become common practice for networks in high-level actor renegotiation deals. Sheen began renegotiating his deal in July, shortly after Warner Bros. entered lucrative deals to sell the syndication rights to the Tribune Broadcasting stations (for broadcast) and to FX (for cable), effective 2010.
Wasn’t Charlie banging hookers and doing lines off runaways’ asses just a few years ago? Now he’s making my Grandma laugh as she settles down for the night after a long day of gardening. What the fuck does it take to get blacklisted in Hollywood anymore? You pretty much have to get caught on video raping an elderly blind woman. Still photographs simply will not suffice. Oh no.

Why? This guy is a nothing. I don’t know anyone who watches that show either. Although I do like John Cryer from way back — he actually has talent.
I hate that his character on the show is so similar to who he really is.
Also, how could $350k make him the highest paid comedic tv actor when the cast of FRIENDS earned $1 mil each per episode, as did Kelsey Grammer for Frasier? Riddle me that, Batman.
Charlie Sheen as a fireman. Doesn’t do a thing for me.

This doesn’t actually seem that much anymore. Weren’t the Friends actors all getting $1,000,000 per episode?
Why do these big name actors do TV at all? I thought there was more money in film? Or is this just where they end up when they’ve had their day?
