How much $$$ for Small Screen Roles?

We have discussed to death how much Broadway actors make for their stage performances. Many stage actors do at least dabble in screen work and I was wondering how much different sized roles pay for Television and smaller films...

Like $$ for the Law and ORder guest star
Guest star in a sitcom
Money for role in a quality TV movie...like Rachel York's role in Lucy (not specifically her...just giving an example)


Thanks.

SAG minimum (for film or TV) is around $4000 per week. A tiny role might be paid a "day rate" of around $650 per day.

Of course, a "name" will get more than minimum!

Then, of course, there are residual payments. An appearance on "Law and Order" can bring in tiny little checks for years to come!
