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

By the 1999 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Tom Hanks holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The category score gives Tom Hanks the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Tom Hanks, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
