[Ender14]

For cast I omitted voice actors since that would have filled out the top 5 along with Stan Lee. For writers I only included people that actually wrote the screenplay, not "story or characters by". My animated films really skewed some of the numbers.

Directors:
Alfred Hitchcock - 15
Steven Spielberg - 10
Christopher Nolan - 8
David Fincher - 7
Wilfred Jackson - 7

[Scarface32]

I prefer animals, so I’m going to say horses.

[El_Fez]

My Cannon collection are responsible for this:
Menahem Golan - 62
Yoram Globus - 60
Chuck Norris - 16
Charles Bronson - 14

Not shocking is this one:
Roger Corman - 15

Then the James Bond flicks skew the numbers slightly:
Ian Fleming - 24
Desmond Llewelyn - 18
Albert R. Broccoli - 16
Michael G. Wilson - 15
Lois Maxwell - 14
John Barry - 13
Bernard Lee - 11

Going through the list, I'm all "Know him, know him" and then I get to George 'Buck' Flower and his 13 movies. I'm all "Wait, who the hell is that?!? Why do I have 13 of his movies?!?" - apparently he played the drunk guy on the bench in Back to the Future, and a bum in Escape from New York and a Drunk Guy in Lady Coca.

Also not suprisiung, the horror stars:
Vincent Price - 26
Robert Englund - 18
Christopher Lee - 16
Peter Cushing - 16
Boris Karloff - 10
Kane Hodder - 9
Bela Lugosi - 6
Only 10 Karloff and 6 Lugosi movies? I'm falling down on the job. Also, what the hell else do I have with Hodder beyond the Fridays and the Crystal Lake documentary. Weird.

Sounds to me like he's actually some drunk guy who just happened to hang around movie sets.

For directors you can use the app and sort by count.

That's why I whittled it down to the bigger names. Otherwise these lists are super non-representative lol
