Kirsten Dunst Interview w/ A Vampire Tom Cruise

Clever,,,, That won't do! Well, was I talking about home video after all? I guess I was. Scratch that from the records. What Oscar winning best picture was released on home video before it won it's Academy Award? That's right Raf. The Silence of The Lambs

So then, let's turn over all the cards here, and see " What television or cable tv shows paid a cast member or members $1million dollars or more per episode"? Anger Management $2.1 million (Charlie Sheen) Two & A Half Men $1.9 million (Charlie Sheen) Everybody Loves Raymond final two seasons $1.7 million (Ray Romano) Frazier $1.6 million final two seasons (Kelsey Grammer) The Big Bang Theory $1 million+plus (Sheldon, Penny, Leonard) Home Improvement $1.25 million (Tim Allen) Sopranos $1 million final season (James Gandolfini) Friends $1 million final two seasons (all cast members) Mad About You $1 million final two seasons (Helen Hunt, Paul Riser) Dexter $1 million final two seasons (Michael C Hall) Honorable mention The Nix $825,000 (Meryl Streep) The first initiator of the coveted $1 million dollar club was either Seinfeld (89-1998) or Mad About You (92-1999) I not sure which. Jerry Seinfeld made a million his final season, and stars Helen Hunt and Paul Riser each were paid a million for each episode in their final two seasons. Thanks to his contract Paul Riser had a clause that states he made equal pay to what Ms. Hunt was making. The cast of Friends (94-2004) thanks to Lisa Kudrow for helping negotiate the final two seasons at a million a pop. The stars of The Big Bang Theory are probably on their way near to the top of this list. The Network will no doubt renegotiate another deal with Katie Cuoco who has said that she is tired of the show and if she stays she would have to see a big bang bump in pay. Already each star has signed a three year deal estimating $100 million. Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons won't want to say goodbye to all that big bang buck either. A handful of these were fairly obvious shows. George, you gathered a handful of most of these. So George, it's you're go!

When Charlie Sheen melted down and was fired from 2,5 men Hollywood wouldn't touch him. After a while, he cooled and Lionsgate made what's known as the 10/90 deal agreement to give Charlie another shot. Still banking on Sheen's star power he agreed to take a 95% cut in pay to $100k per episode for 10 TV shows and if the show scored high enough ratings they would shoot 90 more in exchange for 40% of the bank end that Lionsgate would make on syndication which is achieved after airing 100 episodes. After the 100th airing of Anger Management , the show was cancelled and Charlie Sheen took home a sweet paycheck for $200,000,000. That would make him the highest paid television actor to be paid. $2,100,000 per episode. George that's right. You got six. You still need one more. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity/charlie-sheens-200-million-anger-management-gamble/

How's that?

"This is going to be fun! We can stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning I'm making waffles"!

Not sure of any of those characters George. Sorry I can't believe I found that emogie.

Charlie Sheen Wall Street/ Platoon John C McGinley

Charlie Sheen Wall Street John C McGinley

Son of a gun I keep getting logged out. He wasn't on my list. By comparison, seven years ago Hugh Laurie was earning $400k per show. So I doubt he was in this exclusive club.

I didn't see this post. I was on the other side of the page. Yes, that's right. CS made $1.9m an episode for his last three years of 2.5 men. An a cool $100m for his trouble cutting ties altogether. But he even made more $$$$$$$ after that for his other hit show .................................

That's him and he was paid $1million/episode +plus+ for one of his shows. He actually made even more $$$$$ on his other show. Do you know the shows?

No and no. Think reckless abandon, sexually transmitted diseases with show girls in Vegas, models, and lots, lots, lots of drugs.

I should edit the hint: the actor being paid $1m per episode for two separate shows. I'll give a day maybe two and hopefully somebody will take a crack at this.

Am I? OK. Let's see, let's see, let's see The sun shines,.. and people forget The spray flies as the speed boat glides And people forget...forget their hiding The girls smile....and people forget The snow packs as the skier tracks And people forget

Honestly I have no idea. It could be. I do know that it was the first color film to win the best picture award. (1939) I didn't post what I actually meant to say. What I actually meant to say was this: What was the first film to be released on DVD before it won the Best Picture Oscar?

OK. Was he ever in a Peter Stormare movie? Ha Ha. That was for WordWolf.

What was the first "Best Picture" movie to be released on DVD?

Is that a movie? This reference is over my head and pay grade.

You got four there. You're right George the shows are not older than last two decades. Sopranos, Big Bang, Friends, and Seinfeld are correct. Here's a hint or maybe not, another actor was being paid a millions dollars per episode of two separate shows.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof?

Now I recognize it. Somebody Jacks, "Seasons in the Sun"
