Matthew Fox Brokers Lucrative New 'Lost' Deal

Actor Matthew Fox has reached a new pay deal with TV bosses, taking his "Lost" salary to $225,000 per episode.

The star's wage negotiations were first highlighted earlier this week, when Fox and his co-star Evangeline Lilly were rumored to be seeking a $70,000 pay rise to keep them on the hit drama.

But Fox has now signed a lucrative new contract with ABC Studios executives, putting him in the same pay bracket as the main stars of another successful ABC series, "Desperate Housewives."

The rest of the "Lost" cast are still reportedly trying to broker new wage deals, but representatives for ABC Studios and Fox have refused to comment.

You read that correctly. That's 4 million plus dollars for a single season (assuming there are 18 episodes).

Did I mention that I want his job?
