Who Are the 10 Highest Grossing Movie Actors of All Time?
4. Harrison Ford
If proof were needed that the way to become one of the highest grossing movie actors of all time is to get involved in blockbusting movie franchises, consider the career of Harrison Ford. Almost unknown (except for his part in American Graffiti, 1973) when he was cast as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977), Harrison Ford returned to the role in The Force Awakens (2015) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
In between he starred as Jack Ryan in two movies based on the novels of Tom Clancy, Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994), as Rick Deckard in sci-fi classic Blade Runner (1982) and its sequel in 2017, and of course as Indiana Jones in the four movies starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981.
As of 2019, the U.S. domestic box-office grosses of Ford’s films total over $5.1 billion, with worldwide grosses surpassing $9.3 billion, making him the fourth highest-grossing domestic box-office star in our 10 highest-grossing actors of all time.
3. Johnny Depp
John Christopher Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, producer, and musician, and has been nominated for ten Golden Globe Awards, winning one for Best Actor for his performance of the title role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). He has appeared in Cry-Baby (1990), Dead Man (1995), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Corpse Bride (2005), Public Enemies (2009), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and its 2016 sequel, The Tourist (2010), Rango (2011), Dark Shadows (2012), The Lone Ranger (2013), and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), but the role he is best known for, Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, 2003–present, cemented his place as the third highest-grossing actor worldwide, as his films have grossed over US$3.7 billion at the United States box office and over US$10 billion worldwide.
