9 Actors That Have Played the Same Role 6 Times
Recently Den of Geek looked at 9 Actors That Have Played the Same Role 6 Times.
- Hugh Jackman as Wolverine: Initially I had a problem with Jackman as Logan. Jackman is just too tall! I’m okay with him in the role now. However, when Jackman turns over the claws to someone else, let’s make sure the new guy is vertically challenged. Okay, Bub? For the record I have probably seen about half of Jackman’s outings as Wolverine.
- Leonard Nimoy as Spock: I’ve seen all Nimoy’s appearances as Spock. Nimoy is, and forever shall be, Spock. I do admit that Zachary Quinto is an awesome follow-up in the role!
- Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa: This may be hard to believe, but I have seen all of Stallone’s appearances as Rocky. Let’s cut to the chase. To many, Stallone is Rocky. I’m sure someday someone will step into the role when the movie is remade. Ugh. (And yeah, I know the role is being played by another actor on Broadway. I also know that Sly may return to the role in the rumored film, Creed.)
- Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger: I saw the first and third outings. Surprised there haven’t been more… not that they’re my cup of tea.
- Daniel Radcliff as Harry Potter: I’ve never seen a single Harry Potter movie.
- Tyler Perry as Madea: I’ve never seen a single Madea movie, although the clips I’ve seen have been funny, so I wouldn’t be against watching them.
- Sean Connery as James Bond: I’ve seen every Connery Bond film (except Never Say Never) multiple times. Connery is the best Bond.
- Roger Moore as James Bond: I enjoyed Moore’s Bond, uh, more when I was a kid. Waaay tooo campy towards the end of his run.
- Jim Varney as Ernest: I’ve never seen a single Ernest movie. Don’t know that I ever will…
Here’s a couple of questions…
Have any actresses played the same role 6 times? Halle Berry as Storm — have there been six appearances? Others?
What actor/actress has played the same character the most times in movies? And how many times?
