The Highest Paid Actor In Prime Time Television Is?
Posted by taylor blue on August 6, 2009 | 2 Comments
I think working on a TV show would definitely be one of my dream jobs. Going to work and acting seems like it would something I could never complain about. When I saw this list of highest paid celebrities I was really surprised. I know they work long days and for months and months on end, but with this pay check and being seen by everyone I think it would be worth it.
This is the list of the highest paid drama stars.
Kiefer Sutherland (24) — $550,000 an episode
Hugh Laurie (House) — $400,000 an episode
Mark Harmon (NCIS) — $325,000 an episode
Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy) — $275,000 an episode
Tim Roth (Lie to Me) — $250,000 an episode
Simon Baker (The Mentalist) — $250,000 an episode
Tom Welling (Smallville) — $175,000 an episode
Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer) — $150,000 an episode
Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) — $50,000 an episode
I am sure there has to be people missing. I can’t imagine this covering the people on Lost, Supernatural or Heroes.
