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

The category score gives Tom Hanks the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Tom Hanks without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
