    I know Harrison Ford was No. 1 for a long time.

  6. Well, it helps that Bloom started his acting career with the LOTR trilogy, which is just insane.
    Then he followed that with absolutely blockbusters in Troy and Pirates (that's from memory, but they were definitely among his first movies after LOTR).
    I was going to guess Will Smith, because he was in a string of incredible hits at one point. Remember Independence Day, followed by Men in Black, followed by Enemy of the State?
    Also, he has had smaller parts, but think about Hugo Weaving. He was LOTR, the Matrix trilogy, and, of course, the megahit Babe.
    What about Keira Knightley, who was is in the Pirates trilogy and also was in the SW: Epsiode 1.

    Bloom only had about five lines in Black Hawk Down as was out of it after about 15 minutes. He's the guy that missed the rope when Chalk 4 was dropping in to the Bakara Market.
