I'm sure the extra money is Bruno's anyway, we all know he deserves it. I mean he's been in a few episodes and should have a share of the wealth.
 
these people want to look at what sports stars 'earn' :eek:

Sure Billy is paid silly money, but at the end of the day, he's worked damn hard to get where he is. He's not some spoilt brat who's had the easy life.

And the irony is, I always get this impression with Billy that he likes the simple things in life. Anytime you see pictures of him off set, and not at award shows, he's a right scruffy so and so (which is a VERY attractive trait :drool: ), wearing that damn flowery shirt and the same hat all the time :lol: Plus he loves his sport and beer - how basic!

Plus he doesn't flaunt his wealth at all.
 
i think people who write things like this have absolutely no idea of how the economy in a capitalistic country works. do not blame the actor that gets paid so much, blame the system. and if you are so smart, try to find a different one that would work just as well as this one does. you want equality? it sounds pretty socialistic to me :p

actors and producers are entrepreneurs. they risk their money to start a business and in 80% of times they fail. actors get paid enormous sums b/c the medium through which their work is trasmitted reaches tens of millions of people, if not hundreds if you take into consideration that the show is sold all over the world. so it's only fair that profits from commercials and licenses are in 8 (or more) figures. and now compare it to a teacher who has, let's say, a hundred students. the work might be similarly hard but the number of people that are affected is so much smaller. you could compare a theatrical actor to a TV actor and the difference is just the same.

and we all know Billy wants to go back on stage after CSI. if in the long run he valued money over art, he would never do theater again.

very true Ad.

I doubt he's gonna be raking in the dosh doing the two plays he's doing in the next 12 months! Same as all those years in theatre in Chicago where he gave up the chance to go act on Broadway and to do bigger films, cos he wanted to stay with his theatre company in Chicago.

He's paid his dues. CSI is one of the most successful TV shows of the last decade, if not THE most, world wide. And he's probably the biggest reason. OK, maybe I'm being a bit biased there :lol: Actually, maybe not! He is the face of CSI as far as I'm concerned.
 
AMEN GameFace I totally agree

he does simple fun everyday common people things, baseball, hockey games, dinner out, etc. what big extravagant excesses has he ever been involved in? My take is he's the "man" on this #1 show, and they wanted him to stay, so this plus the time off, were the perks of his "new contract" end of story, and ain't it great?
 
Well, not really, he's been thin since he stopped his "evil ways" drinking, smoking and a strict diet regimen, probably thank's to his lovely wife Gina:thumbsup: you decide, these were at the Animal Rescue event last fall, and the last one is from S/4 "TOTS":cool:

SO THIN

BLACK ON BLACK

TURN OF THE SCREW love how this one shows his cute bow-legs:drool:
 
I believe Gina is 33:thumbsup: and isn't her figure something to whistle at? and she's a Chicago native as he is, they met in a bar, where she was working, putting herself through college. She's a biology teacher, so no dummie, they've been together like 10 years or so:thumbsup: married for nearly five!

^ yeah, that's what i was thinking. cuz if you look at him in Bull and now it seems he got some belly pounds off.

or maybe it's just those jackets he was wearing *shrug*
 
Hi...been away with life, but still reading the thread.

Does anyone know if/when WP is going to sing with the Cubs this year? Just curious!

I definitely think he's lost weight...he looked sooooo good in "2 1/2 Deaths."
 
I guess he may do the Cubbies thing in the summer, but when, who knows!! There was a suggestion they where going to film some of season 9 soon wasn't there? Which'd mean he wouldn't be headed home so soon.

But if that was just a rumour, then he'd be headed home to Chicago pretty damn soon!

Last season I think he was there in late May.
 
I'm sure if he sings it'll be posted somewhere:thumbsup:and on his"weight" he does work out, and watches what he eats! here's him shopping at a VONS grocery store where he lives in Hancock Park, L.A. while he's filming CSI;)

SO SERIOUS, BUT SO CUTE I'd freak if I saw him walking out of my grocery store:wtf:what's ya' got in the bags Billy?
