Olivier had more interesting range-roles.
He was Zeus dammit!
I think Guinness regretted Star Wars because it was pretty much the only crowd-pleaser movie he did.
A recent biography on Peter Cushing pointed out that while there were other British actors who were more famous in his time, Cushing's popularity has risen over time while others have faded, because he did audience-favorite films, not the stuffy drawing room or message films.
I think Trevor Howard resisted fantasy films for a long time and then by the 70s was popping up in low-budget sleazy horror like CRAZE. But he had a good part in Superman.
"You would be banished to endless imprisonment in the Phantom Zone, the eternal void which you yourself discovered."
