To bad they didn't list those Actors/actress' considered to be worth their salaries or who are underpaid.

Putting Tom Cruise on the list is a joke. As mentioned in another thread, Cruise right now is one of Hollywood's most bankable actors.

I'm surprised the Forbes "math" didn't land George Clooney on the list. Really, the only time his movies make money is when he's paired with Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts (or both). Solo, he hasn't pulled in serious dollar signs since The Perfect Storm way back nine years ago, and one has to think that had more to do with subject matter itself and not him.

I also call shenanigans on Clooney, but the biggest name missing from this list was Denzel Washington's. I was literally flabbergasted recently when I read an article that reported he sometimes made $20 million a picture. This for a man who has but three films make over a $100 million domestic, which isn't even that much these days. And those overs weren't even that impressive: $130 million / $115 million / 100 million.

The last sum was made by Pelican Brief, which also starred Julia Roberts and which was made back in 1993!
