Eddie, the dog, became one of the most iconic characters on Frasier, one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 1990s.

But surprisingly, he also earned quite well for his work as part of the cast. According to an episode of the podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, Moose, the dog actor behind Eddie, earned about $10,000 per episode.

This amount is probably much less than the rest of the main cast, but still impressive, especially considering that he didn’t have to memorize any lines. Even so, Moose likely earned around $3 million from the show.

“Basically, all Eddie had to do was give that unimpressed look to Kelsey Grammer. He could do that for minutes on end, so he was very, very well trained,” explained Marina Hyde.
