How much did Paul make working on Due South?
Actor salaries are usually not divulged until they hit the strastophere (such as Tom Cruise), and we don’t know quite what he made while working for CBS, but it was estimated he made $1.5 million Canadian, for both acting and executive producing, in the final season of the series. (Starweek, 30 August 1997) or $2 million per year (Globe and Mail, 99 September 1998) or $2-3 million per season (13 episode season) (TV Guide (Canadian) 14-20 March 1998). Whatever the amount, it is in the millions… • Did he do his own stunts in Due South? Yes, but within reason. He dangled from a harness on the side of a building in the episode “Easy Money,” and executed one of his own jumps in “Odds” (judicious editing shows where the stunt was cut), as well as other not-very-life-threatening stunts. Both he and Callum Keith Rennie dangled from harnesses near a dock for a scene from “Mountie on the Bounty.” According to one article, he nearly fell off a moving train (most likely “All the Queen’s Horses”)
