LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Original members of the Golden Globe-winning cast of ABC's hit series, "Lost," are getting a hefty pay hike from producer Touchstone Television.
In exchange for signing on for an additional contract year, the actors will see their current salaries of $20,000 to $40,000 per episode soar to nearly $80,000 an episode next season, The Hollywood Reporter said Monday.
The same deal was offered to Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, Naveen Andrews, Dominic Monaghan, Terry O'Quinn, Jorge Garcia, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim and Harold Perrineau.
In addition to the weekly raise, Touchstone offered Matthew Fox, who plays the pivotal Dr. Jack Shephard, a one-time signing bonus of $250,000.
All of the actors are expected to accept the deal, The Reporter said.
