He should be at the top, he is a great actor and fits into many different roles well.
Back to the future, secret to my success, bright lights big city and cassualties of war are a few examples. Not to mention family ties or spin city.

He should be at number 1 for sure. He is so amazing and hillarious and not to mention super cute!

Conan the Barbarian (1982), The Terminator (1984), Commando (1985), Predator (1987).

He build the road that others just used to get to the top.
