10 Highest Paid TV Actors of 2011

- By

5. Mark Harmon

The ageless star of Navy procedural NCIS was voted America’s favorite TV personality in a 2011 Harris poll, beating out the likes of Oprah and Conan O’Brien. Ratings for his hit show are through the roof: on February 1, 2011, 22.85 million people tuned in, according to The Nielsen Company. The next day CBS picked up the drama for a ninth season. Harmon’s salary per episode is among the highest in Hollywood (let’s just say he earned $13 million in just one year) and he earns residuals when NCIS reruns on channels like USA and ION.
