Again this year, TV Guide has published their findings in a study of the highest paid TV actors. And once again, Kiefer Sutherland is at the top of the list. [Source: 8/10/09 issue of TV Guide Magazine]

All of these are deserving the high honors, but what about the long-time favorites, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni of Law & Order: SVU? And nothing against Mr. Sutherland, but I think House is a much better show than 24, and feel that if anyone deserves the highest pay on TV it should be Hugh Laurie. But that’s just me.

Here’s the list of the drama frontrunners in the list:

• Kiefer Sutherland (24) – $550,000 an episode (HIGHEST PAID DRAMA STAR)
• Hugh Laurie (House) – $400,000 an episode
• Mark Harmon (NCIS) – $325,000 an episode
• Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy) – $275,000 an episode
• Tim Roth (Lie to Me) – $250,000 an episode
• Simon Baker (The Mentalist) – $250,000 an episode
• Tom Welling (Smallville) – $175,000 an episode
• Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer) – $150,000 an episode
• Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) – $50,000 an episode
