Interesting read but also some obvious flaws.
HUGE bias towards franchises. Daniel Radcliffe being the 3rd highest rated actor, by average online review, is one of the biggest outliers on there. An 8 movie franchise is being counted the same as someone like Andrey Hepburn who didn’t touch a sequel in their life. Not only that, but Radcliffe’s lack of other films bring up his average.
Using median box office rather than total box office is a weird one to me. Again, it benefits actors who weren’t in a whole ton of movies. I would imagine Clark Gable would still be high on the list of you went by total box office, yet he’s nowhere to be found. Again, it benefits someone like Daniel Craig who hasn’t starred in a whole lot besides James Bond.
All this bias towards franchises gives us the result that the 12th best actor of all time is (laughably) Mark Ruffalo. Who gets this insane result because of being connected to The Avengers, despite receiving like 5th billing in those movies.
DiCaprio is first which isn’t much of a suprise, but Tom Cruise isn’t on the final list and mark ruffalo is which seems odd.
James Stewart. Will Smith. Meryl streep. Depending on analysisform.
