For me its always been their ablity to play many difference roles well. Take Will Ferrel, Every movie he is in he pretty much plays some sort of babbling idiot. Bruce willis usually plays a strung out hyperactive character etc... They all have just one acting style and they are marketed that way. Now take harrison ford. He was able to do action all the way to drama. Because of that round ability to become characters with different backgrounds makes him a great actor in my eyes.
