Forbes (via
Variety) released their annual list of TV’s highest paid actors and Ashton Kutcher is once again on top. The Two and a Half Men star earned $24 million this year according to their estimates. While Jon Cryer, who won two Emmys for his role on 2.5 and has been there since day one, earns $3 million less than his co-star. When it comes to the man Kutcher replaced, Charlie Sheen is still on the list at #10 with $10 million. In between the three men are Ray Romano (because everybody still loves Raymond), Neil Patrick Harris (who knew awards shows paid so heftily), Mark Harmon (who’s the lead on television’s #1 show), Patrick Dempsey, Angus T. Jones (who won’t be on the list next year), Tom Allen (not the last man standing) and Michael C Hall (who will also drop off the list next year).
I am surprised that none of the Modern Family men are on the list. Neither are more guys from NCIS because afterall it is TV’s #1 show. Who do you think is missing? And who do you think shouldn’t be on there?
To see the list of how much all of the Top 10 actors made, then
1. Ashton Kutcher: $24 million
2. Jon Cryer: $21 million
3. Ray Romano: $16 million
4. Neil Patrick Harris: $15 million
5. Mark Harmon: $15 million
6. Patrick Dempsey: $13 million
7. Angus T. Jones: $11 million
8. Tim Allen: $11 million
9. Michael C. Hall: $10 million
10. Charlie Sheen: $10 million
