Two and a Half Men got so many critics during its time on screen, but amidst all those negative feedbacks, it continued to soar and stood out among fans all over the world. Its original aired time went between 2003 to 2015, and even after the last episode in February 2015, fans are still pushing for it to stay on screen. The series ran for 12 seasons, and we have to say they do pay out nice dividend checks – most of which goes to their original cast members to include Jon Cryer, Angus T., and Charlie Sheen.
As the series went on, so did Cryer’s salary for each episode go up. He reportedly earns an average of $620,000 per episode, and rumors are circulating that there could be some spin-off plans, but it depends on the top players in the series production.

Sam Waterston played an amazing role in Law & Order, so great that it earned him a Golden Globe Award. His career in the movie industry has also been on a high as he has earned lots of other awards to include an Oscar Award – from a role he played on The Killing Fields. A lot of people will agree that Waterston’s characters are always dramatic, and as such, it is no surprise he features in the Netflix hit show, Grace & Frankie.
Waterston currently earns a lot from Grace & Frankie as well as a nice yearly check from the reruns of Law & Order. For the pipeline, it is said he is slated to feature in some spin-offs of Law & Order to include Law & Order: SVU for which it is recorded he will make $50 thousand per year.
