Is RDJ trying to become a 2-franchise actor with Sherlock Holmes? And who else can you name as a 2-franchise actor?

I think Stallone is the top of the list, with Rocky and Rambo. Arnie, to a lesser extent, with Terminator and Conan, also qualifies. Christian Bale tried it with Batman and Terminator, but I think Terminator is dead.
