The CBS comedy claims TV's four best-paid actors, according to the annual list released Thursday by Forbes. Jim Parsons led with a $25.5 million take between June 2015 and this June, Forbes said, followed by cast-mates Johnny Galecki ($24 million), Simon Helberg ($22.5 million) and Kunal Nayyar ($22 million). In fifth place: Mark Harmon, star of CBS' drama 'NCIS,' was paid $20 million (as with all these actors, before management fees and taxes). Forbes' list of TV actresses, released last week, reaffirms the generous salaries for 'Big Bang' stars: Leading lady, Kaley Cuoco placed second on that list, with $24.5 million. In that top spot: ABC's 'Modern Family' bombshell Sofia Vergara, with $43 million.
