It is rumored he makes around $24,000 per episode. For 22 episodes, that is over $500,000 a year.
This isn’t the only change expected for the new season as the main cast are set to appear in fewer episodes than usual.
Back in April, it was reported that One Chicago producers, Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment, reached a budget agreement with NBC, which means all three dramas will remain on air for another season but the main cast will feature less.
According to Deadline, the episodic guarantees – the number of episodic fees each series regular is entitled to per season – were being renegotiated and decreasing, meaning the stars would appear in around 18-20 episodes per season, rather than the usual 22.
