Take a note from the other quiz and include at least one movie for the actors.

I think we can all agree that Shia Labeouf is indeed a more valuable actor than Leo Dicaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. I don't really understand, though, how the Paranormal Activity people don't have Shia and co. completely crushed. P.S.--Why a hyphen in the Dicaprio/Downey names?

Aaron Eckhart? I'm sure there's some cast members that made even less than him. This formula doesn't really mean anything if they're not the lead. Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and the giant robots put butts in seats, not the listed actors.

Forbes did not take into account the types of films that some of these actors do (for example, many of Ewan McGregor's movies are smaller, arthouse type films and Samuel L. Jackson has a new movie out every week it seems). In fact, Dennis Quaid is on the best value list and most of his recent films have flopped (in 2009 alone The Horsemen, Battle For Terra and Pandorum all flopped).

So many mistakes. Capital 'B' in "LaBeouf". Same with the 'A' in "McAvoy". There should be a space in between the Downey and Jr. (Which should also have a period since it's an abbreviation. Also, The 'L' in Sam Jackson should have a period. Valkyrie is spelled long.

this doesnt take into account how many films each actor has done... shia for example in transformers has done well but no one saw the movie for him... it was all about megan fox and giant robots. so even if the stats are right this quiz has nothing to do with the best value for actors and is a poor way of measuring it.

No one saw Transformers for Megan Fox either. She hasn't been able to sell anything besides magazines.

I thought it was a very informative quiz and enjoyed it.
