Matthew Settle - $4 million

Matthew Settle plays Rufus Humphrey. Dan and Jenny’s father. His storyline focus on his relationships with his children, Lily and other women.

However, the actor thought his plot could be better. He told Vulture, “I always wanted them to give Rufus, like, some stake to loose. He never had political conflicts really because he didn’t have a lot of power at stake. Lily, for instance, has to decide sometimes to be ruthless, and Rufus never had to deal with that, contend with it. I would love to work on a series where there’s more collaboration.”

A lot more people were suddenly around and I was being looked at.
