Forbes has released its list of highest-paid TV actors of 2015. Being one of the highest-rated TV series, long-running sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" unsurprisingly has its stars dominating the list.

Jim Parsons ($29 million) and Johnny Galecki ($27 million) place first and second with only a small gap of $2 million. Parsons replaces Ashton Kutcher who last year topped the list with $26 million.

Kutcher, whose sitcom "Two and a Half Men" ended earlier this year, is now tied in the third place along with "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" lead Mark Harmon and Parsons' co-stars Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar. They earned $20 million each. Kutcher's former co-star Jon Cryer follows close behind with $15 million.

Another sitcom, "Modern Family", has its stars claiming four of the remaining spots in the top 15. They are Ty Burrell ($11.5 million), Jesse Tyler Ferguson ($11 million), Ed O'Neill ($10.5 million) and Eric Stonestreet ($10.5 million).
