Ashton Kutcher tops Forbes' highest-paid TV actor list, followed by Hugh Laurie and Ray Romano

Once an earner, always an earner.

Some of the most recognizable faces on TV — including a few who are making big comebacks — are again raking in the biggest bucks on the boob tube.

At $24 million a year, “Two and a Half Men” star Ashton Kutcher tops this year’s list, according to Forbes.

His top-rated sitcom offers a golden role, one that also made Kutcher’s predecessor, Charlie Sheen, the highest-paid actor on TV when he starred in the CBS comedy.

Another familiar face is Ray Romano, who was the highest-paid actor on TV when he was in “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

Now in second place, Romano is paid about $18 million a year to star in his TNT dramedy “Men of a Certain Age.”

Hollywood vets Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock”) and “NCIS” star Mark Harmon are tied for third place at $15 million.

And Tim Allen, the highest-paid actor on TV when he starred on “Home Improvment,” placed fourth this year, raking in $14 million for his role on ABC’s “Last Man Standing.”

Rounding out the list are the nerds from “Big Bang Theory,” Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki, both getting $8 million.
