At this point in the rankings, Glenn Close versus Johnny Depp is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Johnny Depp holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Johnny Depp's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Johnny Depp without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
