I was only able to get a few of these when my producer pitched the question to me.

Name an actor who was one character in at least 3 movies, and another character in another 3 movies. Supposedly he was able to come up with 25, including 1 woman. I was able to figure out 5 today at work.

I'll start it off with Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Star Wars and Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones.

Oh yeah, don't cheat and IMDB it, less fun for the rest of us!

Hugo Weaving -- The Matrix trilogy and the Lord of the Rings

Hugo Weaving -- The Matrix trilogy and the Lord of the Rings

Damn, I wanted that one, hehe.


How about Mel Gibson:

I forget the character names but the Mad Max movies and the Lethal Weapon series.

Eddie Murphy. Klumps and Beverly Hills Cop

Eddie Murphy. Klumps and Beverly Hills Cop

I may be wrong, but the Klumps were only 2 movies. However, he does belong on the list for a different set of films.

Stallone!!!!

Rocky
Rambo

Ok, does the guy in all the Adam Sandler movies count who always says, "You can do eeet!"?

Otherwise, what about Mike Meyers, Austin Powers and . . .

So here was my list that I was able to come up with:

Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Star Wars and Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones
Eddie Murphy - Beverly Hills Cop and Donkey in Shrek
Ian McKellen - Magneto in X-Men and Gandalf in Lord of the Rings
Sylvester Stalone - Rocky and Rambo
Mike Myers - Dr. Evil and Austin Powers (was told by my producer this didn't count)

Add to that the few new ones we're only at 7. That leaves another 20 or so we're missing!

Ah my girlfriend just came up with a good one. Marlon Brando as Jor-El in Superman, Superman 2, and Superman Returns and obviously Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

Clint Eastwood:

The Man With No Name in the westerns, and Det. Harry Callahan in the cop movies (think there were at least three cop ones).

Fistful of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
High Plains Drifter
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (can't recall if he had a name other than 'blondie')

Dirty Harry
Magnum Force (I think)
and he did several other cop movies, I think at least one of which was still the Callahan character

How about Mike Myers for Austin Powers and Shrek?

Matt Damon -- Ocean's movies and the Bourne movies.

Tim Allen for Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 1,2 and the Buzz Lightyear straight to dvd movie and The Santa Clause.

Patrick Stewart -- Professor Xavier and Jean Luc Piccard (I believe there were more than 3 star trek movies with him in them)

Michael J Fox -- Stuart Little and Back to the Future

Ack, forgot about third Ocean's movie.

Bruce willis; Die Hard Series & Look who's talking series

John Wayne -- John Ford Calvary series and and John Wayne Calvary

Michael York as D'Artagnan in 3 "3 Muskateers" movies and as Basil Exposition in the Austin Powers movies

Hugh Laurie in 3 Stuart Little movies and in several "Blackadder" movies


(yes I love a Wikipedia list of trilogies and IMdB)

Jackie Chan -- Police Story series and Rush Hour series

That's up to 19

Wikipedia? Cheater :P

James Earl Jones in Tom Clancy Series & Star Wars

The female is the tough one.

Only multiple I can think of offhand is Cameron Diaz for Shrek, and Charlies Angels, but only two Angels movies so far.

Was also thinking Myrna Loy for Nora Charles in the Thin Man series, but not sure she played the same role twice in any other movies, even though she and William Powell played opposite each other in several other movies besides the series.

I figure she has to be in the Star Wars trilogies, just can't figure out who!

Jenna Jameson -

Where the Boys Aren't 10
Where the Boys Aren't 16
Where the Boys Aren't 17

Jenna Jameson -

Bella Loves Jenna
Janine Loves Jenna
Jenna Does Carmen


These were all from my study group

Maggie Smith come to mind for the Harry Potter series, but the only other role I know she repeated was as the Mother Superior in Sister Act 1 & 2.

My problem is I don't pay attention to animated movies much, so I have no clue about voice work.

Sigourney Weaver for the Alien movies, but only two Ghostbusters so far.

This is a fun trivia teaser.

Anythign Keannue Reeves or Kevin Costner do it is the same character.......

Matt Damon was in the Bourne movies, Clerks, Clerks II, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, right?

Matt Damon was in the Bourne movies, Clerks, Clerks II, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, right?

I already claimed Matt Damon with the Bourne movies and the Oceans movies!

Do voice actors count? Some of those movies, especially Disneys, seem to go into multiple sequels.

I'm not sure, after I saw all of my picks get posted by others before I did I went to porn. Many of those have done the 3x3 thing.

Damon was in those 3 Kevin Smith movies, but not the same character. Only characters that are consistent are Jay and Silent Bob.

I would think Sean Connery, but he didn't appear in Highlander III.

Orlando Bloom

LOTR and Pirates of the Carribean!

good one!

Also Antonio Banderas

1. El Mariachi - 1992
2. Desperado - 1995
3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico - 2003

and in Spy Kids Trilogy
1. Spy Kids - 2001
2. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams - 2002
3. Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over - 2003

This has me stumped, I can't think of any females who fit this. There has to be at least one.

If voices work, then it might be possible. Without cheating IDK arrrgh. =\

I figure she has to be in the Star Wars trilogies, just can't figure out who!

Well Kira Nightly (sp?) or whatever the chick is in Pirates but she didn't play in all the other Star Wars that I remember?...

Leah is thinking Jamie Lee Curtis for Halloween and Fish called Wanda stuff but I didn't think there were 3 of those? I don't think Carrie Fisher did 3 of anything else. arrrrgh. without looking IDK...

That was not Banderas in this movie it was Carlos Gallardo (per IMdB).

Though if you count unreleased movies, he WILL be in Shrek 4 and that would include him on this list.

Sigorney Weaver from the 3 Alien movies and hmmm t

Carrie Anne Moss from Matrix series

Shoot. Well, at least I did figure out Orlando Bloom...

Just for some clarification Kelraz since this is your 'game,' can we count movies that are in production? How about made for TV movies? How about sequels that went straight to video?

Sigorney Weaver from the 3 Alien movies and hmmm t

Carrie Anne Moss from Matrix series

And what else are they in? The game isn't name a person that's been in 3 movies as the same character, but that's been the same character in 3+ movies more than once.

My thoughts were Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett but neither have been in 3 others.

Leah is thinking Jamie Lee Curtis for Halloween and Fish called Wanda stuff but I didn't think there were 3 of those?

Fierce Creatures, while employing the same actors, was not a sequel to A Fish Called Wanda. She was in the "My Girl" Movies, but there were only 2.

Doh my bad ;)

Good one.

Not sure how I missed it as much as I was looking at LOTR and Pirates for the other characters, heh.

Patrick Stewart -- Professor Xavier and Jean Luc Piccard (I believe there were more than 3 star trek movies with him in them)

Argh you took mine! Yep there were four Star Trek movies with him in them.

Just for some clarification Kelraz since this is your 'game,' can we count movies that are in production? How about made for TV movies? How about sequels that went straight to video?

Who knows :) I think they should be released already. This was just a little thing my producer asked us on a shoot when we had a few hours of down time between interviews. Apparently he worked out a list with Joel Siegel (movie critic) while they were working together.

So we can't count Banderas yet then because Shrek 4 and Puss In Boots haven't been released. How about direct to video sequels of movies that were in the theatre?

His original list of 25 (plus 1 female) didn't even include animated works or voice only, I dunno if it included direct to video stuff. It doesn't matter too much either way since its not like this is some international sport or something ;)

Banderas was also in Spy Kids no?

So you are saying we get no prize?

Adrian from Rocky Series and Carla Corlioni from Godfather Series.

Adrian from Rocky Series and Carla Corlioni from Godfather Series.

Nope.

Grats on finding the fem.

i got the female one but i dont know her name.

Adrian from Rocky Series and Carla Corlioni from Godfather Series.

Talia Shire
Played Adrian in Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
Played Connie Corleone in The Godfather Parts 1, 2, and 3

Well done!

hehe almost thought i had matt damon in a 3 x 3

Oceans
Bourne
Good Will Hunting, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back (he plays WIll Hunting again)

Banderas was also in Spy Kids no?

He was in all 3 yes, but I am not finding another series he's in 3 of until Shrek 4 is released (he wasn't in the first Shrek)

hmm...what about Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price havent they played the same person...almost positive Bela played Dracula more than once, even though they werent the same series of movies, was still dracula :P

Boris Karloff repeated as the Mummy and the Frankenstein creation, but I don't know that either was for three movies. I am also not sure if Price ever repeated a role. And Lugosi repeated as Dracula, but never had any other significant roles that would have been repeated that I can recall.

Was trying to think outside the box :)

was there 3 conan movies? TErminator and Conan.

2 conan movies, verified that over the weekend. Come on, if you don't know it takes all of about 60 seconds to check.

im trying not to cheat sir!

Verifying your answers instead of asking others to do the checking for you is not cheating.

Ah my girlfriend just came up with a good one. Marlon Brando as Jor-El in Superman, Superman 2, and Superman Returns and obviously Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

Wrong on The Godfather. He dies at the end of 1. I don't remember if there's archive footage of him in 3, but IMDB doesn't have it credited.

Yep, Godfather II was Robert Deniro as a young Vito.

gosta ekman (jonssonligan, beck)
bjorn gustafson (jonssonligan, emil i lonneberga)
christopher lee (LoTR, Dracula (although technically not a series?))
peter cushing (van helsing, frankenstein)

Yep, Godfather II was Robert Deniro as a young Vito.

there is a scene in godfather 2 where old vito is alive (at vitos birthday party, where michael says he signed up for the marines), but since they couldnt get brando to shoot it, they instead say he's out of the room.

Was trying to think outside the box :)

Hehe, cute pun. :p

christopher lee (LoTR, Dracula (although technically not a series?))

Do we have our first 3x3? Christopher Lee also played Rochefort in 3 Three Musketeers movies (Three Musketeers, Four Musketeers, and then I think it was called Return of the Three Mustketeers years later)

hmm...what about Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price havent they played the same person...

I thought Vincent Price as well, but when I checked his filmography, it doesent show him even appearing in any trilogys, and the only repeat role he seems to have done was as the narrator in several films.

Mel Gibson, Mad max and Lethal weapon.
