NCIS has been the reigning cop drama show on television since it first aired in September 2003. The characters were first introduced through two episodes of JAG and, although it got a slow start with rating, it is now a powerhouse on television. In its sixth season, it became a Top 5 series and has remained there and, following its tenth season, it was confirmed as the most-watched television series in the U.S. for that season. With longetivity and success that is rarely seen with series these days, the starring actors have really reaped the benefits of being part of such a longrunning and widely watched show.

Over the years, Harmon has starred in many shows and films including Flamingo Road, St. Elsewhere, Wyatt Earp, Charlie Grace, Chicago Hope, The West Wing and Freaky Friday but without a doubt a large chunk of his net worth has come from his 13 seasons leading the cast of NCIS.
