Despite being the highest rated drama on television, the cast of The Walking Dead a ‘paid a pittance’ compared to their Hollywood peers.
Andrew Lincoln has been earning $90,000 per episode of the Zombie drama, while Norman Reedus (who plays Daryl Dixon) was being paid $80,000 an episode.
I wouldn’t personally complain about earning $90k an episode, but their pay is a huge contrast with the salaries of actors on much lower-rated shows such as Sarah Wayne Callies who makes $175,000 per episode of the Prison Break reboot.
