Jason Isaacs Says ‘White Lotus' Equal Pay Earned Each Actor $40,000 an Episode: ‘Do I Mind That I Wasn't Paid More Than' Younger Co-Stars? ‘I Never Work for Money'
Jason Isaacs confirmed in a new interview with Vulture that every cast member on 'The White Lotus' Season 3 made $40,000 an episode, bringing their total pay for the series to around $320,000 each. Isaacs noted that sum is actually 'a very low price' for such a hugely successful television series. 'I didn't know that was public knowledge. That's absolutely true,' Isaacs said. '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. But the fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part.' More from Variety Sam Rockwell on Choosing His 'White Lotus' Leopard Underwear and Why 'Sinners' Made Him Believe Hollywood Will Survive 'The White Lotus' Creator Mike White and Team Break Down the Finale's Deadly Piña Colada Scenes - and Why Season 3 Made Him Feel Like a 'Head Case' Jason Isaacs Champions Tom Felton Playing Draco Malfoy Again, Gives His Blessing to New Lucius Malfoy Actor Johnny Flynn: 'I Can't Wait to See What He Comes Up With' 'The White Lotus' cast being paid equally meant that acting veterans such as Isaacs and Parker Posey made the same as relative newcomers to the industry like Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola. Isaacs politely scoffed when asked if he thought that was fair or not. 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people? I never work for money,' Isaacs said. '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.' Isaacs also used 'The White Lotus' set to impart wisdom on his younger co-stars, mainly how they can't 'over-invest' in the final product because it's completely out of their control. That's for creator Mike White to worry about more than his actors. Isaacs learned that lesson the hard way after playing Captain Hook in 2003's notorious misfire 'Peter Pan.' 'It was a big expensive production with multiple studios. We filmed for 14 months. … The film tanked,' Isaacs said. 'I think it's a masterpiece, but people looked at the poster and went, 'Oh, fuck it. I've seen 'Hook' with Robin Williams, and I've seen the cartoon. Why do I need to see another one?' It was a catastrophe professionally for me, a huge fall from grace. I couldn't get a walk-on role. And I changed my agent and I almost changed my job, frankly, because I didn't think I'd work again. The lowest I've ever been was after 'Peter Pan.' I was really in despair but not as bad as I would have been had I believed any of the bullshit that had been whispered in my ear. I didn't over-invest in the results of it, which is something I tried to counsel the young actors on 'The White Lotus' not to do.' 'The White Lotus' Season 3 is streaming in its entirety on Max.

Jason Isaacs confirms 'The White Lotus' Season 3 actors' salaries
Jason Isaacs confirms 'The White Lotus' Season 3 actors' salaries Show Caption Hide Caption 'White Lotus' star dishes on Piper's virginity and deleted sex scenes 'The White Lotus' star Sarah Catherine Hook tells USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa why Piper's sex scene was cut from the season finale. Jason Isaacs has given insight into the "very low" paychecks he and his "The White Lotus" co-stars received for Season 3 of the HBO show. In a new interview with Vulture, published June 16, Isaacs confirmed he and fellow cast members were paid $40,000 per episode. Or, $320,000, for an 8-episode season. Isaacs played Timothy Ratliff, a wealthy North Carolina businessman secretly dealing with a scandal exploding back home while on vacation with his wife and three children. 'I didn't know that was public knowledge,' Isaacs, 62, told the media outlet. 'That's absolutely true. 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.' Isaacs added that compared to what actors "normally get paid for big television shows, that's a very low price." "But the fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part," he noted. Isaacs says he doesn't work for the money When asked if he was bothered by actors with less experience than him, like costar Patrick Schwarzenegger, who played his son Saxon Ratliff, earning the same as him, Isaacs said he "never work(s) for money." 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people?" he remarked in the interview. "I never work for money." He continued: "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.' Everyone is treated the same, producers say Casting director Meredith Tucker and producer David Bernad, in an April interview with The Hollywood Reporter, revealed that cast members on "The White Lotus" were paid the same. 'Everyone is treated the same on 'The White Lotus',' Bernad told the publication. 'They get paid the same, and we do alphabetical billing, so you're getting people who want to do the project for the right reasons, not to quote 'The Bachelor'. It's a system we developed in the first season because there was no money to make the show.' Tucker added: 'It makes it so much easier. You tell people this is what it is. And some won't do it — and honestly, you can't hold it against people who need to make a living. Our series regulars are pretty much doing this for scale.' 'And it's not negotiable,' Bernad noted.
