FAQs

During the original Star Trek series (1966-1969), the starring actors' salaries varied. William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk, was reportedly paid more than Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed Spock. Shatner's salary was around $5,000 per episode, while Nimoy earned less.
As far as any potential royalties go, Shatner revealed on Twitter that “anything before 1973 (that includes Star Trek Original Series) doesn't pay a cent in Royalties.
I remember reading that VOY actors were paid on a sliding scale. IIRC, Kate Mulgrew made around $60K per episode while Garrett Wang hovered at the lower end - $20-30K per episode.
The Star Trek actors received residuals on re-broadcasted episodes, but only through 1971. After that, even though the episodes continued to make a ton of money, the actors received nothing. Our situation was what prompted the Screen Actors Guild to change the rules, said Doohan. Now, you get paid for all reruns.
