The Simpsons Cast Sign New 4 Year Deal
Following several months of negotiations the voice cast of “The Simpsons” has reached a new four-year agreement with producer 20th Century Fox TV.Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly 400,000 U.S. dollars per episode. While this is lower than the reported 500,000 dollars the cast originally sought, it remains a significant increase from their current paychecks of about 300,000 dollars an episode.
Additionally, Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson and has penned several “Simpsons” episodes over the years, is being named a consulting producer.
Castellaneta and most of the other key “Simpsons” voice players — Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) and Hank Azaria (Moe) — are slated to begin work on the upcoming 20th season Tuesday.
