Big Bang Theory actors are actually similar to "Friends" stars in more ways than you can imagine!

The stars of the popular TV series, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki are on their way in signing a three year-contract. The contract states the stars to be paid $1 million per episode.

This new deal was formerly given to "Friends" cast in the final season of the series, as reported by Dealine via People.

The majority of earning of Big Bang actors will come from rerun sales and development agreements with Warner Bros. TV. Warner Bros. is the same network that covered "Friends". It also now covered "Big Bang Theory" under CBS.

The raise for the trip was quite huge. They previously earned $300,000 plus per episode. The increase would make the actors the current top earners on TV.

Cuoco has brought up her sentiments about the huge popularity of the show. She said in an interview with EW on 2012:

"I would be lying if I said I couldn't do Penny with my eyes closed,"

"It's such second nature to me now. But if I ever do get those moments of, 'God, this feels the same,' I just read those articles about how much money I make and think, 'You know, it's not so repetitive anymore!' "

Big Bang Theory actors clearly imprint their reflection on the success of the series. With 20.3 million viewers, the series just aired its most in-demand episode, as CBS told People magazine recently.
