I hear all the time that an actor got paid “x” amount per episode/role. Do they get paid that amount worked out bi-weekly for the course of shooting? Or is it all up front? And how about back-end deals?

It depends on the terms of their contract. Like most industries, actors on regular shows negotiate their salaries, and are paid like any other employee. Movie actors may receive an advance (to help them prepare for the role) followed by a lump sum, or even a percentage of gross earnings.
