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

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Robert Downey Jr. the larger theatrical footprint. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Robert Downey Jr. without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
