When sitcom actors can cash $1 million per episode (which is $20-25m per season), then it isn't hard to believe that the voice actors for the Simpsons get paid that much. With a show that popular you want to avoid any changes that may upset the viewers and the actors of course want their fair share of the profits the show generates.

I still don't believe it. An A class Hollywood actor typically gets $8-10 million for a movie (if he is not Leonardo Dicaprio or Will Smith) and a movie including preparations takes a year for an actor to make.

yes i beleive rolstoppable is misinformed. An expensive tv show costs 3-5 million an episode including all cast pay.

friends is hardly a good example thats like using call of duty as a sales example for other games. steve carrel from the office and mathew fox from lost both made less than 250k an episode. still works out to like 3 million to 5 million a season depending on amount of episodes.
