Good call, but I'd probably say, Cruise has had a longer list

And longer run of big movies. I'm not saying best actor, but even then, I may have to give the edge to Cruise as one of the top Performers and Entertainers of 3 decades.

Harrison Ford was bigger but for a shorter time and fewer movies

Leonardo DiCaprio is big time but he's not at the top. His average gross

Hanks killed it in the 90's though.

3 stars affect how much a movie makes: Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp

The loser actress has to be Aniston

My first thought was Heigl

He is the only guy who has consistently headlined in the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s.

Cruise hasn't been great in the 2000's either.
