$20.000.000 per film?


Looking over ER filmography he is an active man, a popular blockbuster star, with several big movies coming out this year. My question, how ,much is he paid per flick? He must be very wealthy.

I don't think he cares if the films he does are blockbusters or low budget TV Movies. Just as long as he is working.

I thought I saw him in a trailer for a TV Movie that probably won't be out till next Christmas. But he's not in the cast. The title is 'It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Murder.' His crazed murderous look with those big glasses definitely look like him in the trailer.

I'm sure a quick google search will tell you that minimum wage for actors or "scale", is more than enough to live on if an actor works as regularly as Roberts.

But I vaguely think that a character actor like him will get 5 or 6 figures per film for a supporting role, and that covers everything from $10,000 for a supporting role, to $999,999.00. I'm sure he earns what I'd call a good living, but not what Hollywood calls a good living.

I’m sure his net worth is missing two zeros, more $200M in hard cash from acting and appearances.
