I know you were asking the question in the sense of most skilled or convincing answer, but it made me wonder who is the highest grossing actor of all time? Whose movies made the most money in a career.

I don't believe I've ever heard that so I Googled it. Any guesses who that might be? Answer below...

Harrison Ford!

As Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, and numerous other action heroes, Ford has made it abundantly clear that he is not an action hero to be trifled with. He has even crossed several of the actors on this list throughout the course of his career. However, Ford’s first major role – the one that catapulted him to stardom – is the one that has officially made him the highest grossing actor of all time: intergalactic badass, smuggler, and all around nerf herder Han Solo from the Star Wars saga.
