CSI: NY frontman Gary Sinise has inked a sweet deal with CBS Paramount that will keep him on duty until 2011, Variety reports.

Sinise had already been signed through '10, but in extending that pact he came away with a salary bump to approximately $5 million a year, putting his per-episode fee in the low-$200,000s. That kind of coin could get Lieutenant Dan one helluva prosthetic.

So CBS DOES have money to pay it's talented ACTORS not actresses. CSI NY pulls in what 12M viewers? I hope it's money well spent...

Good for Gary! He deserves it! He's a great actor and the big name star of the show, so he'd have to stick around or I definitely wouldn't tune in at all.

I have to agree with jlittlejohn - Gary Sinise MAKES the show! I have grown to love all the characters, but without Gary Sinise, I don't think there would BE a show!

I love Gary Sinise. He is a fabulous actor. But, I will tell you, I don't think he's a real friendly guy. We were in a public area and I saw him and said to my husband, after gasping, "It's Gary Sinise!" I wasn't loud, just very excited. He had the most miserable look on his face. I didn't approach him, he just didn't seem excited to be recognized. Maybe he's just private.
