Kiefer Sutherland’s new $225,000/episode show!

The latest copy of TV Guide magazine spills the beans on Kiefer Sutherland’s paycheck for the upcoming Fox TV show Touch… and it’s big. $225,000 big, to be precise. This puts Kiefer in the top 10 highest paid TV actors, dropping from 2nd to 10th. (He was on over $500,000 per episode by the end of 24)

Whilst this is around half of what he earned per episode for the 24 TV show, it is a lot of money for the first season of any TV show. Particularly one which is yet to air!

And for those of you interested who the other nine are, here’s a little list we nabbed that was compiled on 24 Spoilers.

• Hugh Laurie – House Season 8 – $700,000 per episode (up 300k from last season)
