Forbes' annual list of highest paid TV actors is out.
Troubled star Charlie Sheen, whose new show -- the ironically titled Anger Management -- went on air after he was sacked from his Two And A Half Men leading role following his angry rant against the show creator Chuck Lorre, rounds off the top 10 with $10 million in earnings.

Actor Michael C Hall, the star and lead actor of crime drama Dexter that concluded with its eighth season this September, takes up the ninth spot with $10 million in earnings.

Allen took home $11 million in earnings last year.

Two And A Half Men's Angus T Jones emerged as a big earner with $11 million as his yearly paycheck from the hit CBS sitcom.

Comedian-actor Ray Romano, whose show Everybody Loves Raymond still enjoys wide syndication the world over, figures at number three with $16 million.
2. Jon Cryer
Two And A Half Men's whiny and twice divorced Alan Harper has a real life that's just the opposite of his onscreen alter ego.
Jon Cryer raked in a cool $21 million from his hit show.
1. Ashton Kutcher
Actor and entrepreneur Ashton Kutcher tops the list for the second consecutive year with an yearly income of $24 million, most of which comes from the CBS sitcom.

We'll refrain from pointing out the ironical nature of this situation.
