AGE: 39
OCCUPATION: Actor, musician, producer, brand
NUMBER OF TIME COVERS: 0
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 1
PRO: He may be the last movie star whose presence on a marquee all but guarantees box-office success. And the surprisingly nuanced, Castaway-esque performance he delivered in the postapocalyptic blockbuster I Am Legend had people briefly talking Oscar...
CON: ...until they saw last five minutes of I Am Legend, which (through no fault of Smith's) really blow. (The alternate ending on the DVD is much better.)
