2. Grant, Newman, Bogart
Grant and Newman could do drama and comedy, Bogie just a good dramatic actor. Did he ever make a comedy?

5. With these 3 guys it's easy.
Each one played the same guy in almost every movie he ever made. I voted Newman, Bogart, Grant without thinking about it for more than a minute.

If I'd thought about it for two minutes, I'd've ranked them Bogart, Newman, Grant.

9. Rank them by what? Height? Awards won? Movies done? Acting ability? Quality of roles?

15. Grant, Bogart, Newman.
That was easy.

Cary Grant is my hero, my role model and my idol. I strive to be more like him every day.

Bogart had one character archetype in him but he mastered that character like nobody has ever mastered a role. Every depiction of surly, truth-obsessed detective anti-hero since has been in some form an homage or reference to Bogie.

Paul Newman...great humanitarian. I was not a fan of his work...except Slap Shot. George Kennedy was the bright shining performance of Cool Hand Luke IMO.
