There are a few local names on Forbes’s new list of the highest-paid leading men in Hollywood. That list got extra buzz on Tuesday because in the guy in the No. 1 spot is soon-to-be-divorced actor Tom Cruise. Coming in after Cruise (who made $75 million from May of 2011 to May of 2012, according to Forbes) is New Hampshire’s own Adam Sandler, who made $37 million over the past 12 months. Boston guy Mark Wahlberg takes the No. 9 slot on the list for earning $27 million. That number will probably spike next year thanks to the success of Wahlberg’s Boston-based movie “Ted.”
