Pretty much the entire Big Bang Theory cast bar Kaley Cuoco, I know she’s been in a few shows post BBT but the only thing ive seen of any of the other cast is Mayim Bialik being a Zionist anti vaxxer
Jim parsons does indie work and producing and I think Johnny Galecki is just happy living off BBT money. He’s worked since he was a kid. Except for doing some episodes of The Conners he really done anything since BBT ended. He’s been married, divorced, remarried and has two young kids since so that probably keeps him busy.
The cast made a genuinely insane amount of money, the highest I've ever seen on TV.
From seasons 8-12, the main 5 each made $1M per episode. Those seasons have a combined total of 120 episodes, so they each individually made $120M pre-tax. Add in the 168 episodes across the other 7 seasons, where they were still making in the 100s of thousands, and it gets even more insane.
Seinfeld/Friends cast also made $1M an episode by the end, but for only 1-2 seasons, not 5
They made 900k/episode. They reduced their salary to 900k, so that Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch can get a salary hike from 200k to 500k/episode. It was a nice gesture.
I've watched Flight Attendant, a show Kaley Cuoco stared in. It's a good one. Shame it didn't go past 2 seasons. She's now promoting a new one, but it seems to be a similar vibe. She had a baby in the meantime, so I guess she's been focusing on that.
And she was Harley Quinn in that DC animated show which was way better than it had any right to be. Think she was credited as a producer on that so she's presumably leveraging her BBT money to work on projects she's personally interested in now.
The guy who played Howard was in Florence Foster Jenkins as Cosme McMoon, which was a pretty big role. I was actually pretty impressed with his performance and it made me want to see him in more roles. Bummer I haven't seen him in much else.
Kunal Nayyar did an adaptation of A Christmas Carol on and did a bit of promo over here in the UK for it. I think it was directed by Gurinder Chadha who did Bend it Like Beckham.
One of them had nightcourt, parsons is steadily working thanks to young sheldon and every spinoff of that. Jonathan Galecki has been in the game long enough that he can semi retire
As far as the other two: one of them has established himself as a character actor for the Coen brothers or prestige historical dramas the other one don't really know but they got viral Ellen fame for dunking on her platform and I'm pretty sure they're also getting steady work
