But I'm not sure Hanks could do what Cruise is doing now...because Cruise's ability to still be the leading man in an action thriller is a bigger pull.

Since 1996, Decaprio has been in a big Ticket film on an average of about

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

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

I think hanks is more consistently good.

Not counting acting ability...

Hanks has acted in, produced, directed, and written more.

Hanks killed it in the 90's though.

Certainly not with his longevity. Arnold,Sly,Ford,Mel,Bruce all had their day.

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

Gustav

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.

MI series has been solid(besides2). In fact I think in general the 2000s have...
