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

As of the selected ranking year, Kevin Costner and Meg Ryan form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Kevin Costner 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 Kevin Costner the larger theatrical footprint. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Kevin Costner, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
