With Semi-Pro and Land of the Lost tanking, it's not a surprise than Will Ferrell is #1 on this year's Overpaid Actors list over at Forbes. After that, there are a few people that I didn't think would be on the list. Ewen McGregor is #2; obviously his movies don't make money but I didn't know that people were still giving him a legit salary to appear in their films. I thought the Star Wars hangover wore off after The Island. #3 was also a head scratcher as it was Billy Bob Thornton. I don't even remember him appearing in any films lately. Eddie Murphy's Meet Dave probably single-handedly got him the #4 spot with Ice Cube following right behind him. The Bottom 5 were: Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jim Carrey.

The actor who brought back the most money for every dollar he was paid was Shia LeBeouf, although I think that has more to do with his jumping onto megafranchises like Transformers and Indiana Jones than his own actual drawing power. (Although Eagle Eye did end up making 100 million so he's got something going for him).
