    Way too much for the lame performing arts they do and the immoral messages they send.

    According to a different site, commencement actors, about five thousand an episode. After you have passed your first three year contract it varies according to your popularity and how much you kiss your bosses rear.

    Some actors like Susan Lucci, or Anthony Geary make a whole lot more.

    Well, I had an thought and I looked up a link. I believe it is honestly accurate.

    New Actors: About $ 700 per episode
    5-10 Years: $ 1300-2500 per episode
    10+ Years: $ 1500-4000+ per episode

    Annually
    New Actors: $ 72,800-135,200
    5-10 Years: $ 135,000-260,000
    10+ Year Vets: $ 156,000-416,000

    I hope this is what you are looking for!

    Jamie is right on. But when you reach Susan Lucci status, it’s in the stratosphere. According wikipedia.org, Susan makes about $ 1 million per year.

    According to payscale.com, the median hourly rate is $ 12.50, but I find that hard to believe. About ten years ago, someone questioned this question of Soap Opera Digest, and at that time [they said] that contract players got $ 800 per episode (that’s a heck of a lot more than $ 12.50 an hour), and at that time Susan Lucci was the peak paid soap actor at $ 5,000 per episode.
