The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights(1931) Runner Up: Buster Keaton Chaplin wasn't the first film star, but he may be one of the oldest still remembered today. A true auteur, Chaplin produced, wrote, directed, starred in, and even composed the music for many of his films. He's one of the few silent film stars whose popularity survived ...
It Happened One Night (1934), Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), Gone With The Wind(1939) Runner Up: Fred Astaire Of all the men on this list, Clark Gable is probably the one closest to a "leading man" as opposed to an "everyman," but the 1930s are incredibly short on average Joes. The Great Depression was in full swing from 1929-1939, and people were le...
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Philidelphia Story (1940), It's a Wonderful Life(1946) Runner Up: Gary Cooper If only a single everyman could be picked for the century, Jimmy Stewart would walk away with the distinction. Stewart was both an athlete and an artist, a jock and a nerd. As a child, he was shy and built model airplanes at home. ...
Mister Roberts (1955), Some Like it Hot (1959), The Apartment(1960) Runner Up: Marlon Brando Jack Lemmon was at his finest when he played a loser, a doofus, or a tool. His greatest triumphs came when he overcame these traits, and his funniest moments came when he didn't. The 50s were an era when two World Wars had left America as the sole superpowe...
Does this look like a man threatened by feminism? (The Dick van Dyke Show and Mary Poppins) The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-66), Bye Bye Birdie (1963), Mary Poppins (1964), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang(1968) Runner Up: Gregory Peck Those who lived through the 1960s (or at least have seen Mad Men) will have some idea of the cultural strife the U.S. was goin...
American Graffiti (1973), Jaws(1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), The Goodbye Girl(1977) Runner Up: Kurt Russell The 1970s were undoubtedly the most cynical decade of America's last century. Between the questionable value of the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, the American public would never again trust their gover...
Bosom Buddies (1980-82), Splash(1984), Big (1988), The 'Burbs (1989), Joe vs The Volcano(1990) Runner Up: Steve Guttenberg The 1980's were a veritable Breakfast Club of archetypes - Nerds, Jocks, Freaks, Punks, Heroes, Villains. After an exhaustingly cynical decade in the 1970s, the cinema veered toward "high on fun, low on existential reflection."...
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-96), Independence Day (1996), Men in Black(1997) Runner Up: Michael Keaton First and foremost, Will Smith's role as the everyman of the 90s is significant. He was, perhaps, the first black man to be widely accepted in a lead role by white audiences, and this wasn't due to a sacrifice of his "blackness". Perhaps thi...
Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000), How I Met Your Mother(2005-2014), Forgetting Sarah Marshall(2008) Runner Up: Seth Rogen The 2000s were the decade when America's youth began to realize that things weren't going as well as society told them it would. It began with the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, an ultimate statement of resistance from memb...

Everyman is the only human character of the play; the others are embodied ideas such as Fellowship, who "symbolizes the transience and limitations of human friendship". [6] The use of the term everyman to refer generically to a portrayal of an ordinary or typical person dates to the early 20th century. [7]
