Mark Harmon – $525,000
Actor Mark Harmon was lucky enough to secure long-term roles for the small screen. He snagged big parts on TV shows like Chicago Hope and St. Elsewhere in the past. However, his career reached the next level after he bagged the lead role in a crime series called NCIS. Not only did he bring home a lot of awards for his performance as Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, but he also made a fortune for this role. The star continues to rake it in despite rumors of becoming a recurring role.
Jerry Seinfeld – $1 Million
Jerry Seinfeld is a man who ended up with a TV show of the same name. Many people will agree with us when we say that he changed the world of comedy. The series became the most viewed show in history thanks to the reruns. By the final season of the show, he was making $1 million per episode. This makes sense because 1 in 10 people in the United States tuned into it. NBC had been desperate enough to keep the sitcom going that the higherups offered the actor a cool $5 million per episode.
