I have 31 films starring Shintaro Katsu that I can think of off the top of my head. I think he would be the most prolific actor in my DVD collection.
Of course, I own every Zatoichi movie, even the one that Miramax bought the US rights to because Tarantino, at some point, thought he would remake it. It has never been legitimately released on DVD here in the US. So, that accounts for 26 of those movies.
Katsu did 26 movies and 100 hour long TV show episodes as the Zatoichi character. That is just crazy.
I don't know who my number one English speaking actor would be....I don't own the Matrix movies so I bet it isn't Hugo Weaving. He is pretty damn cool though.
I never would have thought it without looking but I believe that Sean Connery is the winner with 7. Six of which are James Bond movies.
Christopher Lee, Bruce Willis, Bruce Campbell (if you count his cameo in Darkman), Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and even Elijah Wood (if you count his small part in Back to the Future 2) were all pretty close.
Also of note, I don't think I own a single movie that stars Johnny Depp (unless you count Platoon), which is pretty interesting to me.
i love natalie portman, yet i only have two or three movies with her in them. jay and i went to best buy last night to pick up the special edition v for vendetta from them - it's great. it has the widescreen edition, with the cover i like, 4 or 5 stills ( they just look like postcards ), and a little mini v mask. it fits perfect on my cat. or! ... sam.
actually, johnny depp and hugo weaving are neck in neck in my collection - i have about 10 johnny depp movies.
and i would count platoon. that was his first movie.
BUT, i was just checking imdb's johhny page, and it said that he was rumored to play phillip in i am legend.
