Jason Isaacs on Receiving Equal Pay as ‘White Lotus’ Co-Stars: “I Never Work for Money”

Jason Isaacs is sharing his thoughts on receiving the same pay for The White Lotus as his co-stars.The actor, who played Timothy Ratliff, the patriarch of the Ratliff family, on season three of Mike White’s hit series, recently confirmed to Vulture that each actor earned $40,000 an episode. While that’s low for a show of this scale, Isaacs said it didn’t impact his decision to join the cast.“I didn’t know that was public knowledge. That’s absolutely true,” he admitted. “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.”Related StoriesTV"Who Gives a F*** What Other People Think": Walton Goggins, Adam Scott and the Drama Actor RoundtableTVSam Nivola Would Never Turn Down an Opportuni...
