- Description:
Guess who's on his way to becoming the highest paid writer-producer in the business? Well, if the title of this post didnt give it away, it's (drum roll...) Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.
The 35-year-old McFarlane just inked a deal with 20th Century Fox that is rumored to be BIG, like MEGA BIG, reports The Hollywood Reporter. "The pact, which could be worth more than $100 million, will keep MacFarlane at 20th TV through 2012. It covers his services on Guy and his other two animated series for 20th TV and Fox -- American Dad! and the upcoming Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show -- as well as his TV development, including a multicamera comedy with Guy writer Gary Janetti. It also encompasses new-media projects related to MacFarlane's TV series as well as DVD and merchandising revenue from them. (Guy alone has grown into a $1 billion franchise with red-hot DVD and merchandise sales.) Additionally, the deal is said to include advances towards MacFarlane's back end, which is expected to increase under the new deal. 'I get a lot of pleasure out of making shows,' MacFarlane said. 'It's a bonus to be getting paid well for it, and it's a double bonus to be getting paid exorbitantly for it.' - Actor/Actress/Director: Seth MacFarlane
