Pay row threatens West Wing future

It is reported that the future of The West Wing could be in doubt as its stars are allegedly demanding a further pay increase.

Some cast members are thought to have approached Warner Brothers to ask for nearly double their salary. It is thought that the actors, who currently earn about €70,000 per episode are looking for more than €130,000.

According to Variety.com main star Martin Sheen reportedly earned €2.8 million for the last series of the hit show, based around a fictional US president.

The demand comes two years after the cast joined forces and strong-armed the studio into doubling their respective paychecks.
