Jason Isaacs is getting transparent about his White Lotus salary.
The Harry Potter actor sat down with Vulture for an interview published on Monday and confirmed that the cast of season 3 made $40,000 per episode… A number he considers “very low.” The 62-year-old dished:
“Generally actors don’t talk about pay in public because it’s ridiculously disproportionate to what we do — putting on makeup and funny voices — and just upsets the public. But compared to what people normally get paid for big television shows, that’s a very low price.”

On the show, the main cast all earn the same amount per episode, which is a refreshing change than on other productions where the more seasoned actors make disproportionate amounts. And on that front, Jason has thoughts. He told the outlet:
“Do I mind that I wasn’t paid more than other people? I never work for money. I mean, I’ve done all right. People will think I have huge stockpiles of money but sadly, what I’ve done rather immaturely is expand my outgoings to match my incomings and pretty much spent everything I’ve earned over the years.”
Oops!
Well, at least he doesn’t sound too irritated. He should be happy to have been a part of such a talked about season!
Thoughts?
