<P> Up until 1998, the six main actors were paid $30,000 per episode . In 1998 they were then involved in a pay dispute in which Fox threatened to replace them with new actors and went as far as preparing for casting of new voices . However, the issue was soon resolved and from 1998 to 2004, they were paid $125,000 per episode . In 2004, the voice actors intentionally skipped several table reads, demanding they be paid $360,000 per episode . The strike was resolved a month later and until 2008 they earned something between $250,000 and $360,000 per episode . In 2008, production for the twentieth season was put on hold due to new contract negotiations with the voice actors, who wanted a "healthy bump" in salary to an amount close to $500,000 per episode . The dispute was soon resolved, and the actors' salary was raised to $400,000 per episode . </P> <P> In 2011, Fox announced that, due to financial difficulties, they were unable to continue to produce The Simpsons under its current contract and that unless there were pay cuts, the show could end . For the negotiations, the studio requested that the cast members accept a 45% cut of their salaries so that more seasons could be produced after season 23, or else that season would be the last . In the end, the studio and the actors reached a deal, in which the actors would take a pay cut of 30%, down to just over $300,000 per episode, prolonging the show to its 25th season . As well as the actors, everybody involved in the show took a pay cut . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th_colspan="4"> Character (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Dan Castellaneta </Td> <Td> Homer Simpson </Td> <Td> Grampa Simpson </Td> <Td> Krusty the Clown </Td> <Td> Barney Gumble </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Groundskeeper Willie </Td> <Td> Mayor Quimby </Td> <Td> Santa's Little Helper </Td> <Td> Hans Moleman </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sideshow Mel </Td> <Td> Itchy </Td> <Td> Squeaky Voiced Teen </Td> <Td> Gil Gunderson </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Blue Haired Lawyer </Td> <Td> Rich Texan </Td> <Td> Kodos </Td> <Td> Louie </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Arnie Pye </Td> <Td> Bill </Td> <Td> Mr. Teeny </Td> <Td> Scott Christian </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Charlie </Td> <Td> Gary </Td> <Td> Captain Lance Murdock </Td> <Td> Mr. Prince </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Yes Guy </Td> <Td> Jake the Barber </Td> <Td> Poochie </Td> <Td> Leopold </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rabbi Krustofski </Td> <Td> Frankie the Squealer </Td> <Td> Coach Lugash </Td> <Td> Jack Marley </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Julie Kavner </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Marge Simpson </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Patty Bouvier </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Selma Bouvier </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Jacqueline Bouvier </Td> <Td> Sideshow Mel's wife </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Great Mom </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nancy Cartwright </Td> <Td> Bart Simpson </Td> <Td> Maggie Simpson </Td> <Td> Nelson Muntz </Td> <Td> Ralph Wiggum </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Kearney </Td> <Td> Todd Flanders </Td> <Td> Rod Flanders </Td> <Td> Database </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Richard </Td> <Td> Lewis Clark </Td> <Td> Nahasapeemapetilon octuplets </Td> <Td> Brittany Brockman (Daughter of Kent Brockman) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Yeardley Smith </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Lisa Simpson </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Maggie Simpson </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Eliza Simpson </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Angelica Button </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Grandma Flanders </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Cecile Shapiro </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hank Azaria </Td> <Td> Moe Szyslak </Td> <Td> Chief Wiggum </Td> <Td> Apu Nahasapeemapetilon </Td> <Td> Carl Carlson </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Comic Book Guy </Td> <Td> Lou </Td> <Td> Prof. Frink </Td> <Td> Cletus Spuckler </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Superintendent Chalmers </Td> <Td> Snake Jailbird </Td> <Td> Captain Horatio McCallister </Td> <Td> Kirk Van Houten </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Wiseguy </Td> <Td> Bumblebee Man </Td> <Td> Luigi Risotto </Td> <Td> Old Jewish Man </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Disco Stu </Td> <Td> Dr. Nick Riviera </Td> <Td> Duffman </Td> <Td> Drederick Tatum </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Julio </Td> <Td> Johnny Tightlips </Td> <Td> Coach Krupt </Td> <Td> Doug </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Chase / Pyro </Td> <Td> Legs </Td> <Td> Akira </Td> <Td> Frank Grimes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gunter </Td> <Td> "Just Stamp the Ticket" Man </Td> <Td> The Veterinarian </Td> <Td> Khlav Kalash Vendor </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Harry Shearer </Td> <Td> Mr. Burns </Td> <Td> Waylon Smithers </Td> <Td> Ned Flanders </Td> <Td> Principal Skinner </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lenny Leonard </Td> <Td> Kent Brockman </Td> <Td> Reverend Lovejoy </Td> <Td> Dr. Hibbert </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Otto Mann </Td> <Td> Jasper Beardley </Td> <Td> Scratchy </Td> <Td> Rainier Wolfcastle / McBain </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Eddie </Td> <Td> Dewey Largo </Td> <Td> Judge Snyder </Td> <Td> Kang </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Marty </Td> <Td> Dr. Marvin Monroe </Td> <Td> God </Td> <Td> George H.W.
