Good news for Kiefer Sutherland. The star of 24 has just been named the highest paid TV actor in the US.
So just how much does Sutherland make for playing agent Jack Bauer?
OVER HALF A MILLION PER EPISODE!!!
Kiefer reportedly makes $550,000 per episode of his hit show, beating out Hugh Laurie, the star of House, who makes $400,000 per episode.
But there’s some bad news for Sutherland.
The execs at Fox aren’t sure if they’re going to renew the show’s contract after this upcoming season.
Fox’s head of programming reveals, “It’s going to come down to a business decision. It’s not an inexpensive show on the network books and we also want to finish strong. This is not a show we want to prop up.”
“Poor” Kiefer!
