Forbes has ranked and released the highest paid actors on television for 2012
Latinos Post has gathered the top 10, featuring stars from "House," "30 Rock," "NCIS," and "The Big Bang Theory."
1. Ashton Kutcher may have recently gone through a bitter and embarrassing breakup with wife Demi Moore, but he has 24 million other reasons to smile.
Forbes has ranked the "Two and a Half Men" star as the highest paid TV actor of 2012. Kutcher, in more ways than one, replaces last year's top earning actor Charlie Sheen, who took the honor last year.
2. Hugh Laurie
Not far behind is "House" leading man Hugh Laurie. "House" recently wrapped up its eight season. Laurie plays a no nonsense, pill-popping doctor with a cane. He sure has come a long way from playing one of Cruella de Vil's henchmen.
3. Ray Romano
Despite his sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" being off the air for six years, Romano is still raking in the big bucks. Forbes says Romano is receiving money for the show's syndication. He recently starred in TNT's "Men of Certain Age," but the show was canceled due to poor ratings.
4. Alec Baldwin
When he's not making headlines for his behavior and comments, Alec Baldwin is starring in "30 Rock," which made him a cool $15 million this year. Baldwin recently married a yoga instructor 25 years his junior.
5. Mark Harmon
Mark Harmon isn't necessarily a household name. The star of "NCIS" on CBS quietly made $15 million this year, making him one of the highest paid on television.
6. Tim Allen
Just like Ray Romano, Tim Allen's show "Home Improvement" is long gone, but still in syndication and he is still making money. Allen reportedly made $14 million this year. Allen is starring in ABC's "Last Man Standing" and still doing the voice of Woody in "Toy Story."
7. Jon Cryer
Although it's not as much as his co-star Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer isn't complaining. He made a hefty $13 million. He has won two Emmys for the role.
8. Patrick Dempsey
McDreamy made $12 million for his role on "Grey's Anatomy." Dempsey has been on the show for nine seasons. Forbes said the show still draws in an average of 10 million viewers per episode.
9. Jim Parsons
"The Big Bang Theory" is one of the biggest shows on television. That's what contributes to Jim Parson's $8 million this year.
10. Johnny Galecki
Like his "Big Bang Theory" costar, Galecki earned a whopping $8 million for his role on the show. Forbes says he is starring in the upcoming independent film "CBGB."
