Veteran English star Jason Isaacs says ‘White Lotus’ cast gets paid ‘very little’

London, June 17 (UNI) Veteran English actor Jason Isaacs has said that the popular HBO series ‘The White Lotus’ cast gets “paid very little,” reports People.

In an interview with Vulture, published Monday, the actor, 62, well known for his role in the ‘Harry Potter’ films as well as ‘Peter Pan’, and ‘The Death of Stalin’, said that he and his fellow ‘The White Lotus’ co-stars had a paltry paycheck for the show.

Stating they were paid $40,000 per episode, Isaacs, who played Timothy Ratliff in season 3 of the HBO series, called the amount "very low."

“I didn’t know that was public knowledge,” he told the 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.”

He added, “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.”

Although, when asked if it bothered him that he was being paid the same amount as actors such as Patrick Schwarzenegger and Aimee Lou Wood, who were far less experienced, he said it wasn’t much of a concern.

“Do I mind that I wasn’t paid more than other people? I never work for money,” he said. “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.” UNI ANV SSP
