Shia LaBeouf and Anne Hathaway took two highest spots in Forbes' list of Hollywood's Best Actors for the Buck. Shia topped the list for second year in a row because every $1 the studios spent on him, his films returned about $81 of profit. Anne, in the meantime, unseated on James McAvoy's last year runner-up position because for every dollar she earned, studios earned $64 off of her films.

Shia was named the star who brought in the most profits for his movies such as "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" ($836 million worldwide box office) and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" ($787 million). Meanwhile, Anne became the second most profitable star due to her hit films such as "Alice in Wonderland" ($1 billion at the global box office) and "Bride Wars" ($115 million at the global box office).

The third place was seated on by "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe because every $1 the studios spent on him, his films returned around $61 in profit. Robert Downey Jr. secured the fourth spot of the list with a $33 return for every $1 he was paid. His "Sherlock Holmes" brought in $517 million last Christmas, while his "Iron Man 2" has earned $622 million at the global box office.
