Ashton Kutcher 'Two And A Half Men' Star Named Forbes Highest Paid Actor In TV 2013; Neil Patrick Harris, Charlie Sheen, Patrick Dempsey & More (PHOTOS)
Ashton Kutcher was named Forbes' Highest Paid Actor for the second year in a row.
The monthly magazine estimates that between his role as the lead on CBS' no. 1 comedy Two and Half men, endorsements and the film Jobs, the model-turned- actor grossed about $24 million between June 2012 and June, 2013.
Kutcher landed the no.1 spot on Forbes Highest Paid Actor In TV List last year. He beat Charlie Sheen who held the top spot in 2012. Kutcher landed the highly coveted nod less than two weeks after his girlfriend, actress Mila Kunis, was named "The Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire.
Kutcher's Two And A Half Men co-star Jon Cryer landed at no. 2 on the list for having earned $21 million. The show's previous co-star Angus T. Jones, whose last appeared in season 10, landed seventh for earning $11 million. Because Jones has taken a break from acting to focus on a career in the military, he will likely not appear on the list next year, according to the report.

Comedian Ray Romano placed third. He earned $16 million on royalties he collected from his now-cancelled sitcom Raymond. Several other CBS stars landed in the top ten list--NCIS star Mark Harmon and How I Met Your Mother actor Neil Patrick Harris. They both tied at fourth place because they earned $15 million.
