David Caruso, "CSI Miami"
Retired actor and producer David Caruso played the main character on the crime show "CSI Miami," and while he was on-air, he generated the show $6 billion. He can retire in peace knowing he alone still gets $100,000 a year in residuals. SVU and its various iterations will continue to funnel money into his wallet regardless.
David Schwimmer, "Friends"
The paleontologist we love to hate, Ross can definitively say that the show "Friends" has been on a break since its last episode in 2004. However, with the constant reruns, actor David Schwimmer still rakes in up to $20 million a year, which I'm sure is more than any of his other works (uhhh Madagascar) were ever worth. It's unclear whether or not he is interested in pursuing a "Friends" reunion.
