These days, TV has become just as lucrative as the movies for some of Hollywood’s biggest actors. From high-profile miniseries, to streaming shows, to limited series, and even TV movies, there’s more opportunities than ever for actors to cash in on projects from the broadcast networks, streaming services, and cable channels.
High-profile actors like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Henry Cavill, Kevin Hart, and many more have taken the opportunity to do more TV—and it’s paying off. Variety put together some of the top salaries of TV’s biggest stars, and it’s pretty incredible what some of these actors are pulling down on the small screen.
