“I did not know that these figures were public … But it is absolutely true! In general, the actors do not talk about their salary, because it is completely disproportionate to what we do – make up and take bizarre votes – and it annoys the public. But compared to the usual fees on large TV series, it’s very low as an amount. That said, we would have been ready to pay in this project. ourselves. “
Above all, the equal salary established by the creator, Mike White, means that all actors are at the same level in the series.

On the set, Jason Isaacs Also played a mentor role for the youngest, reminding them not to invest too much emotionally in the final product – because it is something that they do not control. “This is Mike White’s problem, not that of the actors,” he slips. A lesson he says he learned at his expense, after his participation in Peter Pan From 2003, today considered a critical and commercial failure and which almost cost him his career.
