Which actors have played in the most Comic Book Movies/TV?

[Brazoo]

Rosario Dawson was in Men in Black 2 (don't know if that counts)

I think Clark Gregg probably needs to be on this list too, no?

[Brazoo]

Ohh - you're counting number of characters. Never mind about Gregg then.

I would count her.

[Brazoo]

Great, now you've sent me into a useless Google-hole...

Paul Reubens
• Batman Returns
• Mystery Men
• The Smurfs (does this one count?!)
• Batman: Brave and Bold
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show
• Gotham TV show


Canadian actor Stephen McHattie
• A History of Violence
• The Fountain
• 300
• Watchmen


If Smurfs counts then you could maybe add David Cross?:
• Ghost World
• MIB
• MIB 2 (different character)
• Smurfs
• Arrested Development (as The Thing)

[Brazoo]

I think you can add 2 more to Chris Evans:
• Push
• TMNT

• TMNT

This puts Chris Evans waaaay ahead.

If Smurfs counts then you could maybe add David Cross?:
• Ghost World
• MIB
• MIB 2 (different character)
• Smurfs
• Arrested Development (as The Thing)

if Ben Affleck in Hollywoodland counts, then David Cross as The Thing totally counts. Also Maria Bamford as Invisible Girl.

Buster Crabbe's other comic book character role was a Thun'da in the serial King of the Congo. The character was created by Frank Frazetta.

Tom Tyler played both Captain Marvel and The Phantom

Ralph Byrd played Dick Tracy and The Vigilante

Kirk Alyn played Superman and Blackhawk

Interesting that Chris Evans has had the most comic book related roles.

[samurainoir]

Interesting that Chris Evans has had the most comic book related roles.

I'm actually finding that fascinating as well. that is six distinct roles, across 12 movies, if we're counting his cameo in Thor Dark World.

Chris Evans
• Fantastic Four
• Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer
• The Losers
• Captain America
• Captain America Winter Soldier
• Captain America Civil War
• Avengers
• Avengers Age of Ultron
• Thor Dark World
• Snowpiercer
• Scott Pilgrim
• TMNT

[Nostalgiabuff]

don't forget Wesley Snipes for Blade 1-3, and Expendables 3

[samurainoir]

hmmm. I just checked and it appears both the Push and Expendable comics were not the original source material, they were prequels commissioned from the movies. So I'm going to discount them (in the same way you wouldn't count Aliens, Star Wars or Indiana Jones just because they had comic book tie ins).

Is that the cartoon movie for Turtles? If so,that puts Patrick Stewart on the list with 2. He gets on for that and X-Men.

[phil]

Thanks for clearing up that The Expendables wasn't based on a comic book.

[Brazoo]

Ahh - I saw an article claiming "Push" was based on a comic, but I should have dug deeper to confirm.

Yeah, I think it was one that was fully animated. You're right - Stewart is credited in the cast.
