As of the selected ranking year, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Robert Downey Jr. form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Robert Downey Jr. the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Robert Downey Jr. the larger theatrical footprint. The comparison therefore points leans toward Robert Downey Jr., with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
