Sometimes. Sometimes not. Observe:
| Quote: | Prior to the 11th season, actress Maggie Roswell left the show [The Simpsons] after a contract dispute. She had reportedly been making only $1500 an episode, even after 10 years on the show. To add insult to injury, Roswell lived in Colorado and was being forced to commute to Los Angeles out of her own pocket.
The network offered her a measly $150 extra per episode, which wasn't even enough to cover the cost of air-fares. Roswell balked. "I wasn't asking for what the other cast members make," she said. "I just wanted to recoup all the costs I had in travel. If they'd flown me in, I'd still be working." ... Roswell eventually returned to the show in 2002, after presumably being offered a new and more favorable contract. During her absence, her characters were voiced by actress Marcia Mitzman-Gaven. |
$1500 may sound like a lot, but not when your minor character(s) can easily be absent from any given episode.

David,
This quite vividly underscores Banksey's Law: Only 5% of the people will ever make any (serious) money in voiceover.
I met Maggie a year or so before that contact issue. She's a very nice, and obviously very talented lady.
