Taking a look at who are the best and greatest actors

The ranking of actors is frequently based on the average box office gross, their popularity level, and of course the number of hit movies they have given during their career. At the same time, it is true that some of the movies have failed to reflect the immense acting skills of the actors.

More than just a reflection of stars, this list puts together brief information about their background and personal life. So, let us begin the countdown.
