Isaiah Washington looks set to loose out on a huge pay rise as his homophobic outburst earlier this year has put at risk the pay rise therest of the cast are getting.ashington shocked Golden Globe Award attendees in January (07) by calling gay co-star T.R. Knight a "faggot" - and the episode is likely to cost the star a wage boost, according to PageSix.com.A source says, "All the actors are in the midst of contract renegotiations, but ABC is using Isaiah's recent troubles to keep from paying him more."Isaiah knows it is his fault that he may not get the fat raise he was going to get. ABC doesn't have to give him anything - he is under contract for seven years - and this is going to cost him millions. It's just a bitter pill he is going to have to swallow." Isaiah is best know for his most recent role as Dr Preston Burke in the hit US medical drama Grey's Anatomy which has just started a second series in the UK. The actor has appeared in all of the 53 episodes since the show aired in 2005.
