50 Highest-Grossing Actors Over the Age of 50 By Nicole Johnson, Stacker News AND Sophia Crisafulli, Stacker News On 2/9/21 at 8:00 PM EST In many cases, the passage of years can add value and influence. And that doesn't just go for fine wines or artisan cheese—many Hollywood stars just keep doing better as time goes on. With more films, more awards, and more experience, their value in the industry goes up. Of course, there are those rare cases in which age appears to stop progressing (see: Paul Rudd), but most humans are not quite that lucky. Christopher Polk / Getty Images Each of the actors on this list continued to achieve acclaim and financial success well after celebrating the big 5-0. For them, age truly is just a number. They have defied the odds and not only managed to remain in an industry that places significance on youth, but they have also managed to continue to prosper well into midlife and beyond. Stacker used data from the-numbers.com to rank these 50 actors according to their total domestic box office earnings, in order from lowest to highest. Voice actors were considered as well, and there are several on the list. It's true that most people will never pull in the kind of cash these actors do, regardless of age. But we can still respect their success and continuing work ethic—and perhaps fantasize about what we would do with that kind of money.
