Is there an easy way to do that, I wonder? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:07 2
- Just announce you'll stop showing up for work -- the caveat, you have to have been working for long enough for that to matter. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:21 1
  - That works, but what about counting how many movies I have seen per actor? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:24
Tom Hanks: 35, Samuel L Jackson: 40 (not including the Marvel movies). - Dignan Jun 7, 10:41 19
- Looks like it's Tom Hanks for me.. Already forgot the number.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:37
- Clint Eastwood, 29 for me -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:22
- Oh, and 35 for Matt Damon. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:10 13
  - Ha ha, you sat through Gerry. -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:12 2
    - I did not, and I'll fight anyone who claims otherwise. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:15
    - I'll defend that to the end of time. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 11:13
  - Bruce Willis is my clubhouse leader at 37. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 11:11 8
    - 43! nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:14 7
      - Or wait, John Cazale. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 7, 11:21 3
        
        That guy had good taste. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:26
        
        *checks Jake Lloyd's IMDb page* -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:26
        
        For percentage, yeah. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:25
      - Percentage wise, it's probably Tom Cruise. - Reagen Jun 7, 11:19 2
        
        He's probably my number one at 30+. Can't come close with anyone else. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 11:38
        
        35/42. Wow. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:24
  - I'm actually surprised he's been in that many. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:11
- 29 non-Nick Fury. Is that low? It feels low. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:53 1
  - For a guy who's been in roughly one out of every four movies made in the past thirty years, yeah, it's low. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 10:58
- SLJ was surprisingly "low" for me. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:46
Payne tried his damnedest to get Hackman out of retirement for Nebraska, but no dice. He's in his late-80's now, so I think he's done. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:38 9
- And fair enough. It's just so rare to see someone totally walk away absent some major health problem. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:39 8
  - Connery did the same. It used to be fairly commonplace in Hollywood, no? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:48 1
    - There was the occasional Greta Garbo or Cary Grant but lots of the big names worked right to their death bed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:51
  - A lot of the older actors don't like admitting that it gets tougher to memorize lines and lose weight to get camera ready as time passes. - Diva Jun 7, 10:42 5
    - Just be more like Brando - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 10:58 4
      - The stories from the set of The Score and Doctor Moreau sound insane. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:59 2
        
        Hell, Apocalypse Now was insane and that was 20 years before those - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:04
        
        Brando opened up a whole new world of crazy for Johnny Depp. -- nm - Diva Jun 7, 11:03
      - ohmygoodness... -- nm - Diva Jun 7, 10:59
Welcome to Mooseport! -- nm - Remlik Jun 7, 10:31
