This year will mark the last season for FX’s acclaimed Nip/Tuck.
Now, there’s just one lil’ problem – and it’s quite big actually. The network has to negotiate the actors’ salaries for this final season – and they want a big payday!
Currently, salary talks have been ongoing for weeks with the stars of the show.
During Season 5, last year, Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh were each making around $125,000 each per episode. Fellow co-star Joely Richardson was making about $100,000.
But according to reports, this year Walsh and McMahon are looking to double their salaries, along with many other cast members looking for raises.
So what have they done?
The actors have hired a top law firm to help negotiate for them. Their legal team also represented The Sopranos star James Gandolfini during his 2003 renegotiations lawsuit.
As for Walsh and McMahon, one of their main arguments is that even though they’ll be available for other jobs, some networks might be hesitant about hiring them since Nip/Tuck is slated to run ’til 2011.
And, although last week McMahon didn’t show up for wardrobe, all of the actors are expected to return to work on Monday.
Let’s see if they get their pay increases!
Do U think they deserve it???
