    What actor has appeared in the most number of movies?

    Question #21063. Asked by Thunder Bolt TX.

    Brainy Blonde

    IMDb's most prolific actors. The list goes up to 20, here are the top five:
    1 - Mel Blanc 876
    2 - Adoor Bhasi 549
    3 - Tom London 512
    4 - Bud Osborne 505
    5 - Prem Nazir 483
    If you include women, Bess Flowers would come in at number 8 with 454.

    Max von Sydow has been in everything. He was a favorite of Ingmar Bergman, so if you took any film classes in college, you've seen him. He's a favorite to play heavies who need an accent, so if you're a fan of Stephen King or Sci/Fi, you've seen him. He's been in made-for-TV movies, horror flicks, Academy award winning films, voiceovers and historical dramas (he's played Fridtjof Nansen, S.A. Andree (twice), Knut Hamsun, Eugene O'Neill, Pope Clement VII, August Strindberg, King John of Portugal and Jesus, just to name a few.) IMDB's filmography goes on for more than 5 pages. He is quite possibly the world's most prolific actor.
