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 Robin Williams the larger theatrical footprint.

The category score gives Robin Williams the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Robin Williams and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
