I remember that by the end of the show, the cast was making a ridiculous amount of money per episode. After the main characters, Gunther was the one who showed up the most (clocking in at 78 episodes).
I hope he was well compensated! -

I think he probably makes an okay living off the show to this day through syndication and such. The show is on pretty much every second of the day and if the six main friends make million off the syndication, I bet he probably makes more enough to get by.

I guarantee he makes money off of syndication. The payments to an actor for reruns are called residuals. I have a friend who played a double in a movie over 25 years ago and still gets a check when ever it's on TV. Residuals have been around for decades. The size of the residual depends on the actors contract, but base residuals are part of what the The Screen Actors Guild (actors union) regulates and defends for all of its members. Considering the number of years and times a day that Friends is shown on TV, I'll bet he has made plenty.

the show only goes into syndication, or re-runs, IF they make 100 episodes of the series. But an actor makes residuals, or a percentage of what they were paid for that specific episode, every time an episode airs after its first airing, EVEN if they're not one of the lead characters. That doesn't go for Background or Extras, just people with lines.

i highly doubt he made much of anything. most episodes he didn't even have speaking parts so he could have just been a featured extra making a couple hundred a day, but hopefully that wasn't the case and he at least made ten thousand an episode, but i doubt he would have made anymore than thatas far as residuals.. no way

According to Helen Baxendale (Emily, one of Ross's wives) she was only paid 1000 ($2000) per week.

So he wouldn't be paid more than that.
