Hank Voight, Jason Beghe's character on "Chicago P.D.," is a fan-favorite. In an interview with My Take On TV, he revealed one of the secrets of his on-screen success. "I really try to listen. I try to be present. I'm passionate." He also pockets a hefty cheque for each episode. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Beghe is paid a lofty $250,000 per episode. The outlet reports that his TV salary, as well as the royalties accrued from the role, would amount to a solid $6 million per year. Not too shabby for a judge's son, per The Washington Post.
Beghe was once a Scientologist and told Rolling Stone that leaving the religion was "good for me career-wise. My finances were drained and I had a family." It also seems as if after he left the church he had a specific career path in mind. He revealed, "I said, 'OK, I gotta get a series or something because that's good money.'"
The actor also felt that he wasn't very motivated and that leaving the religion inspired him to want more for himself. He said, "I've never been that ambitious. I've always been kinda lazy, but I finally have more time and attention that I can put to things that are more creative and rewarding."
