In 1970, President Richard Nixon and Congress established a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in response to the growing public demand for cleaner water, air and land. The EPA was tasked with the challenging goal of repairing the damage already done to the environment and to establish guidelines to help Americans in making a cleaner—and safer—environment a reality.

And frankly, aside from the near constant stream of profanity in many of his movies, I have to agree he is a pretty talented actor.
The top ten grossing actors of all time are:
10. Robin Williams
9. Will Smith
8. Morgan Freeman
7. Eddie Murphy
6. Bruce Willis
5. Tom Cruise
4. Orlando Bloom
