T.R. Knight signs new Grey’s Anatomy deal for fourth season
T.R. Knight is officially returning to Grey’s Anatomy, as he just signed a new deal for the fourth season of the hit show. There had been grumblings he might not return, especially because both his character and Burke (Isaiah Washington) had storylines that could have easily exited either character. But it is Isaiah Washington who got fired from the show, apparently shortly after T.R. Knight signed his new deal.
E! Online has confirmed that T.R. Knight will be back for a fourth season of Grey’s Anatomy, signing a new contract after an iffy wait-and-see period further perpetuated by his character’s cliffhanger season finale.
But while George may have to repeat a year at Seattle Grace as an intern, Knight will be earning approximately $125,000 per episode, plus a sliver of the show’s total profits, a deal also added to new contracts negotiated earlier this year for the likes of Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh.
Knight’s salary roughly equals that of costars Chandra Wilson and Justin Chambers, who, along with Pompeo and her $200,000 per episode, inked new deals in March.
I am so happy to hear this news! And again, I’ll say how happy I am that Isaiah got canned!
