He may be currently unemployed but Charlie Sheen isn’t hurting for cash: The troubled star tops Forbes’ list of the highest-paid male TV actors from 2010. Here’s a look at who else made the list:
7) Patrick Dempsey (and others)
The #7 spot is for the $9-million club, including Patrick Dempsey from “Grey’s Anatomy”, Simon Baker from “The Mentalist”, Hugh Laurie of “House” fame and Christopher Meloni with his long standing role on “Law & Order: SVU.”
6) Laurence Fishburne
Laurence made his transition from the big screen to the small screen look so easy. Well that’s because the ex “CSI” actor also made $11 million from his former gig.
5) Jon Cryer
No wonder Jon was concerned about the future of “Two and Half Men.” He makes $11 million a season from the show – making him the fifth-richest man in the biz!
4) Mark Harmon
I’ve never watched it, but judging from Mark’s “NCIS” paycheck he and the show are doing well. He made $13 million last year!
3) Steve Carell
Steve made $15 million for playing Michael Scott in “The Office.” I’m sure he makes close to that per movie too (or he already does and hasn’t revealed it yet)! Loved him in Crazy Stupid Love!
2) Ray Romano
Ray continues to be in the top five of Forbes’ list, making $20 million for “Men of a Certain Age.”
1) Charlie Sheen
Charlie had a heck of a year with his “winning” attitude — he’s laughing all the way to the bank! This past year he pulled in $40 million.
