After the cast of FRIENDS, the cast of The Big Bang Theory — Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) , Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali) and Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) were known to be the highest paid television actors with a salary of $ 1 million for every episode. In 2015, Jim Parsons not only became the highest paid television actor, he was also at par with Hollywood A-listers like Leonardo Di Caprio and Johnny Depp. But now it looks like the cast members have agreed to go for a pay cut for their co-stars Mayim Bialik (who plays Sheldon’s girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler) and Melissa Rauch (who plays Bernadette Rostenkowski, wife of Howard Wolowitz).
