Adam Sandler should definitely be somewhere on here. Huge popularity + some very highly acclaimed performances.

I could see Auteuil and Wilder a bit higher. Id also have Thomas Mitchell and Harvey Keitel in this range, as they seem pretty comparable to Ed Harris and Tommy Lee Jones.

For whatever it's worth I'd give Ledger a fair amount of credit for cultural impact due to how iconic his portrayal of the joker is.

Yeah but Joker's cultural impact was already factored in Heath's placement while his acclaim and influence appear to have grown in recent years, anecdotally at least.

I could even see Ledger above Damon/Smith/Neeson. I think he's more influential and probably more acclaimed, I think he's comparable to them in popularity, and he's obviously quite behind in body of work, but that's not weighted as much in the criteria.

Id also have James Earl Jones, one of the most iconic voices in film history, strong body of work and a couple performances that were nominated for major awards as well. When compared to Bronson, for example, popularity and influence seem close and I think Jones' acclaim and body of work are probably stronger. When compared with Pesci, I'd give Pesci acclaim, Jones popularity, while body of work and influence seem close. So I guess I'd have him at 206.

I also think 2 time oscar winner and Wes Anderson favorite Adrien Brody might as well be somewhere on here. I'd say he's pretty close to McConaughey.

I think Tim Robbins and Rutger Hauer still deserve to be here.
