biggest action star based on movie grosses:Bruce Willis $2,576,080,968Sylvester Stalone $1,639,909,420Arnold Schwarzenegger $1,621,940,362
Actually there are many actors (not all action) made way more than these guys. The #1 at the box office in terms of total gross in movies appeared in is Samuel L Jackson at $4,018,617,575. Harrison Ford is more than $3.5 billion as in Tom Hanks. Arnold ranks way down at #51 in all-time actors.
I would think Tom Cruise would be ranked higher than Samuel Jackson or any other as a matter of fact.
not only is van damme a great box office draw but he is Claude Goetz's best student
He isn't even in the top 125 male actors
he is number 1....................... ...in my heart
and mine
You have to put this into perspective as well. Bruce Willis made around 70 movies, Arnold made around 30 movies. So?
JCVD and arnold have far better films than bruce willis, bruce has what ... Die hard, arnold has kindergarten cop and twins and JCVD has blood sport and kickboxer
Samuel Jackson also had plenty of mini minor roles in huuuuuuuge blockbusters (Jurassic Park; Star Wars;...). None of the success of these movies were because of him, so the statistics is also a lil misleading.
