25 FLETCH CHEVY CHASE, JON HAMM
KEY FILMS Fletch (1985), Confess, Fletch (2022)

24 BRENDAN FRYE JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT
KEY FILM Brick (2005)

23 AXEL FOLEY EDDIE MURPHY
KEY FILMS Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Motormouthed Detroit 'tec Axel Foley takes to Beverly Hills like a fish to water.

Murphy's charisma matches '80s Cruise - Beverly Hills Cop was the first of seven Murphy films on the bounce to open at number one.
