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

By the 2021 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 Mark Ruffalo 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 Mark Ruffalo's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Mark Ruffalo without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
