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 says 2003's 'Peter Pan' flopping was a 'catastrophe' for his career, but it taught him to never 'over-invest' in the final product.

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. “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 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.
