How Much Do the Chicago PD Cast Make? Let's Get Down to Business (or Pleasure)
So, you're curious about how much those fine folks on Chicago PD are raking in, huh? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the world of celebrity finances. But before we get too serious, let's be clear: we're talking about estimates here. It's not like they're plastering their tax returns on billboards.
Hank Voight: The Big Cheese
Let's start with the big kahuna, Hank Voight. Played by the gravelly voiced Jason Beghe, Voight is the undisputed leader of Intelligence. Given his character's commanding presence and the show's popularity, it's safe to say he's the top earner on the cast. We're talking six-figure-per-episode territory, people. That's enough to buy a small island, maybe even a few.
The Rest of the Gang: Not Shorties on Cash
While Voight might be the king of the hill, the rest of the cast is no slouch when it comes to their bank accounts. Mainstays like Marina Squerciati (Kim Burgess) and Patrick John Flueger (Adam Ruzek) are also raking in the dough, though probably not quite on Voight's level.
The Curious Case of Actor Salaries
Now, a quick reality check: actor salaries are a complex beast. It's not just about the show's popularity. Factors like experience, negotiation skills, and even the actor's star power can significantly impact their paycheck. So while we can make educated guesses, the exact numbers are shrouded in more mystery than a Voight undercover op.
It's Not All About the Benjamins
Let's be real, these actors aren't just in it for the money. They're passionate about their craft, they love their characters, and they enjoy being part of a successful show. Plus, there's the whole fame and adulation thing. So while the paycheck is nice, it's definitely not the only motivator.
How to Become a TV Star (Probably Not)
Okay, so you're inspired to ditch your day job and become a TV star. Here are a few tips (that probably won't work):
- How to get a talent agent: Start by winning an Oscar. Or at least be related to someone who has.
- How to audition like a pro: Cry dramatically. Then shout really loud. Repeat.
- How to handle fame: Hire a publicist and buy a really big hat.
Remember, acting is hard work. And even harder to get into. So keep dreaming, but maybe also keep that day job for now.
