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

By the 1991 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. The category score gives Harrison Ford 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 Harrison Ford the larger theatrical footprint. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Harrison Ford without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
