He stars and executive produces the smash hit series Yellowstone.<\/p>\n
And now, once again, Kevin Costner is reaping the reward as he becomes the highest paid actor per episode on the small screen.<\/p>\n
The 67-year-old Hollywood veteran is making $1.3 million per episode for season 5 of the Western-themed show, Variety reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Costner, who won two Academy Awards for 1990’s Dances With Wolves, stars in Yellowstone as patriarch John Dutton whose family has owned a ranch in Montana for six generations.<\/p>\n
Each season of the drama has outperformed the last with the audience for season 4 four times the size of the one that tuned in for the first series.<\/p>\n
And along with its success, Costner, whose season one starting salary was $500,000 an episode, managed to renegotiate his contract every step of the way to $1.2 million per episode for the fourth season, according to ScreenRant.<\/p>\n
Now he’s getting an extra $100,000 per episode to return for more episodes of the drama.<\/p>\n
