Tracking the Highest Grossing Actors in Hollywood
Actors are prized for their performances, charisma, looks, and star power that draws audiences to their films. A key component Hollywood looks for is the success of an actor’s film roster. The team at Ever Present took that metric and created a chart of the highest grossing actors in Hollywood.
This detailed list ranks the actors by their earnings and adds detail like precisely how much their films have earned, and which film brought in the most money. You can also see how many films the actor has had a lead role in. In the case of the number one highest grossing actor, Samuel L. Jackson, more lead roles mean higher grossing films. The renowned Jackson has led in 69 films, including franchise juggernauts like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His highest grossing film was Avengers: Endgame, something he has in common with many of the other performers on this list, including the number #2 highest grossing actor, Scarlett Johansson.

Visualizing the Most Famous Phones in Pop Culture
Sometimes, props that could have quietly become part of a film’s scenery stand out as an iconic aspect that adds depth to a setting or character.

On the chart we can see where and when these phones first appeared on screens, an illustrated rendering of them, and a bit of trivia telling us why this phone made an impact.

Some phones help form part of our lasting impression of a character. For example, Pee-Wee Herman’s picture phone is a regular part of the show and adds texture to Pee-Wee’s whimsical world. In the film, Juno, the title character is a relaxed teen with a quick wit, who uses a phone shaped like a hamburger to add a sense of humor and childishness to otherwise serious conversations.
Here are some more examples that appear on the chart:
- TARDIS from Doctor Who
- Clear Conairphone from Clarissa Explains it All
- “Show Me the Money!” Flip Phone from Jerry Maquire
- Neo’s Cell Phone from The Matrix
- Shellphone from Spongebob Squarepants
- Glass Case of Emotion from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
How many phones do you remember from this list? Have any of them made you re-think the movie or show they appear in?
