Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

By the 2026 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Robert Redford the larger theatrical footprint.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Robert Redford's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Robert Redford and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
