House’s Hugh Laurie Gets Huge Raise
Hugh Laurie is getting a huge raise: The star of House is set to become one
of the highest paid actors on network TV.
Laurie, who has played the Vicodin-popping curmudgeon Dr. Gregory House for
four seasons, has signed a new deal that will pay him around $400,000 an
episode, confirms The Hollywood Reporter. The Brit's deal also includes
another year on the show (going through the year 2011), and a producing
credit.
House is currently Fox's highest rated drama, and Laurie's pitch-perfect
snarky performance has earned him two Golden Globes and three Emmy
nominations, including one this year. He joins the ranks of such sky-high
earners as Kiefer Sutherland (who earns close to $500,000 per episode) of 24
and CSI's departing William Petersen ($600,000).
