About Tuvix:

For those, Tim Russ just had to call up the days of when the only parts he could get were thugs and gangsters.
 
Tuvok also infiltrated a mercenary group in TNG and was surgically altered to appear human during the ENT-B's maiden voyage.
 
They filmed both Tim Russ and Ethan Phillips playing the part and then used a special software to blend their faces.

Actually it was some other actor, but I wonder what the above would look like.
 
20 to 30 grand each per episode, no matter how little or how much they have to do as long as they are on screen... Do they have to say a line to get paid? I think they do.

SAG rules, contracts and shit.

This is me being a bitch and nothing unusual, as no one got paid proportionately for the amount of work they did, although it's unlikely that everyone was paid the same.

It was random.

As long as they were ready and prepared to work a full week, they got paid for a full week whether the script allowed for them to potter in the back ground looking busy, or up front in front of the camera responsible for the lionshare of the script.

YOU KNOW THIS!
 
I thought we didn't have that figure, how much per week.

Okay, maybe I forgot. And maybe Wang can stop whining about how little he makes from royalties which according to him is a pittance.

So it was another actor? I can't tell if you were joking about the special software combination.
 
We don't have an exact figure.

If I was to guess your yearly salary as between 30 and 60 thousand dollars per year, I might be right but then it's also hardly accurate.

This is interesting.

Due to the cost of building Voyager's bridge, converting the old TNG sets, reshooting the scenes shot with Geneviève Bujold and the ones after Janeway's hairstyle was altered, some very ambitious special effects scenes and a substantial amount of location filming, this episode had a final budget of US$23 million, making it the most expensive television episode in the history of the Star Trek franchise. When adjusted for inflation, it proved even more expensive than Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and more than twice as expensive as ENT: "Broken Bow", the episode with the next-highest budget.
The budget for the rest of the series started at 2.2 million per episode and inflated to 3.5 million half way through their run.

What exactly did they do with the extra 1.3 million an episode?

Berman fired Wang because he's trouble, then they over commit with Jeri Ryan because they think that they can fold his wages into hers, so even though they just got a further 34 million to play with every year they're still somehow strapped and have to pull the trigger regardless.

Those genre show budgets Guy quotes can't be right, at least for TOS. I think by the third season they were doing a show on $160,000 per episode, and the budget had been higher the year before. At least $5000 of that was Shatner's salary.

And Enterprise didn't run for 7 seasons.
 
Mulgrew probably got more money than the rest of the cast, being the star. And the rest probably had varying fees based on what their agents could negotiate.
 
It's really incredible people can make this kind of money. If they were smart they wouldn't have to live off cons when their career flops, though I guess some of them enjoy it.
 
Tuvix was a season 2 episode.

The Wife in Real Life is Francine from American Dad.

Someone must have asked her at a convention, which was the easier marriage to survive?

Wait? Did she survive Voyager?

I think the EMH just deleted his family.

Muuuuuuuuuuuuurduuuuuuuured them.

Although if things had progressed, I could see Harry accidentally falling in love with the daughter in season 7 after a chance meeting in a simulation?

Hey! IMDB tells me that his holodaughter (Lindsay Haun) was on Graceland last week.

:)


(She played a hooker with a heart of gold.)
