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

By the 2014 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. The category score gives Robert Downey Jr. the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Robert Downey Jr.'s leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. The comparison therefore points leans toward Robert Downey Jr., with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
