5. Michael Weatherly – $250,000 per episode of NCIS
NCIS is not just another cop shows, it is also one of the best. It covers different aspect of crimes compared to other cop shows. As it stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the premise of the show is a team solving murder case related to the marine.
The show started back in 2003. It was rumored to end in its 10th season, but it keeps going until today on its 15th season. There were a few changes in the casts, but the main characters remain the same.
Michael Weatherly plays Anthony DiNozzo, one of the main characters since the first season. Unfortunately he is leaving the show this season. Besides leaving fifteen years of his NCIS career, Michael is also leaving $250,000 per episode paycheck.
Michael felt that his character has started to derail from the original traits. Or perhaps he is just looking for more reference in his resume? Nevertheless, Michael has been pretty successful, thanks to the show, with $15 million of net worth.
