While Scientol-Tom has had his fair share of flick floppage, Will Smith can honestly say, hey, I freakin’ rock. Forbes.com held one of those fabulous surveys polling 150 media professionals on who they thought were the TEN most bankable stars and Will Smith came out on top. Surprise, surprise. So who else made the list? Check out the top ten below:

1 Will Smith 10.00
2 Johnny Depp 9.89
2 Leonardo DiCaprio 9.89
2 Angelina Jolie 9.89
2 Brad Pitt 9.89
6 Tom Hanks 9.87
7 George Clooney 9.81
8 Denzel Washington 9.76
9 Matt Damon 9.69
10 Jack Nicholson 9.68

Rick Alvarez said, “Will Smith is unique in that he is one of a very few people who is a draw purely on name alone. It almost doesn’t matter what genre. The name alone creates a confidence with the audience that they’re going to get something that’s entertaining whether it’s action, comedy, drama.”
