John Francis Daley

Lance Sweets played an awkward, yet disarming, psychiatrist on the crime drama Bones. John Francis Daley earned between $30,000 to $40,000 per episode for the role. His character had quite the dramatic sendoff,  being killed for being involved in an FBI conspiracy, just as his pregnant girlfriend was about to give birth.

At the time he was written off, he was looking to direct yet another one of his own screenplays. Daley has maintained a lucrative career as a successful comedy writer, with hits such as Horrible Bosses and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone credited to his name.
