Die Hard may be among the greatest action movies of all time, but to be an A-list actor your films need to consistently be smash hits. Willis has had one live action $100 million film since 2000, and that was Live Free or Die Hard. Willis movies have consistently bombed this decade.

Forbes makes every year the "Power List" of Hollywood.

I quote:

The data was based not just on box office success but also on a star's ability to attract financing and guarantee cinema distribution for a project, and whether or not their presence "significantly drives box office performance".

1 Will Smith
2 Johnny Depp
3 Leonardo DiCaprio
4 Angelina Jolie
5 Brad Pitt
6 Tom Hanks
7 George Clooney
8 Denzel Washington
9 Matt Damon
10 Jack Nicholson
11 Julia Roberts
12 Adam Sandler
13 Tom Cruise
14 Russell Crowe
15 Will Ferrell
16 Meryl Streep
17 Robert De Niro
18 Ben Stiller
19 Jim Carrey
20 Clint Eastwood

I like that he doesn't like to talk about his personal life, it's called personal for a reason. Everyone doesn't need to know every little detail about your life like some celebrities seem to think.

And then there was this one time......in Band Camp.....

The only reason he fell off years ago was his personal problems. Now that he has squared himself away, he is a significant draw again. The guy can act.
