Many years ago, using the weekly TV guide that came with the Sunday Chicago Tribune, I started keeping track of all of the movies I had seen over the course of my lifetime.  The guide would list the two main stars for each movie, and that is a tradition that I’ve carried on in my database ever since.  So, given those guidelines, and thanks to a corona virus inspired uptick to my movie watching this year, it is time to look at the 100 actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of July 1.

Today, we continue with the 10 actors that have starred in 12 movies that I have seen, an increase of 1 at this level from 3 years ago.

Kristen Bell

The Veronica Mars star made her first “big screen” appearance in my life with the television remake of Reefer Madness in 2005.  She’s been a pretty steady presence since, with a 2 year gap in 2015 and 2016 being her largest.  Like Father, which I saw earlier this year, is my most recent exposure to her.

Michael Douglas

I have not seen a Michael Douglas starring project since 2015’s Ant-Man.

Aaron Eckhart

Aaron Eckhart first showed up on the list of film actors I’ve seen way back in 1999 with Your Friends & Neighbors.  Since then, his appearances have been a little haphazard, with nothing more than 3 2-year streaks over the past 18 years.  The most recent film of his I’ve seen was 2014’s atrocious I, Frankenstein, which I unfortunately saw earlier this year.

Corey Haim

My final Haim film was 1993’s Just One Of The Girls, which I saw in 2004.  Haim passed away in 2010, so he is not likely to be moving up this list anytime soon.

Woody Harrelson

In 1992, I headed to the theaters to see White Men Can’t Jump, where I first encountered Woody Harrelson in film. 7 of Harrelson’s films came between 1992 and 2000, after which there was a long lull.  Harrelson came back in to my world in 2008, then added 2 more in 2010.  After a 9 year layoff, Harrelson returned earlier this year with 2019’s Zombieland: Double Tap.

Mila Kunis

After years on That ’70s Show, Mila Kunis first moved to my movie screen in 2003, with the unfortunate American Psycho II: All American Girl.  After a six year break, she came back with a vengeance, appearing in 7 films I saw between 2009 and 2011.  She jumps up 2 notches, with 2018’s The Spy Who Dumped Me, which I saw in 2019, being the last time I saw her work.

Jennifer Lawrence

The delightful Jennifer Lawrence first appeared on my screen in 2011, thanks to 2010’s Winter’s Bone.  Since then, I have seen her in at least 1 movie every year, tripling up in 2013, for an active streak of 10 straight years.  My most recent film of hers was maybe her worst, 2015’s Serena, which I watched earlier this year.

Liam Neeson

Liam Neeson’s first starring role that I saw came in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.  That was followed by another film in 2000, and then nothing until 2009, when he returned in Taken.  I saw three of his films in both 2014 and 2019, when I last saw him in The Commuter, Cold Pursuit, and Widows.

Al Pacino

My first experience with Al Pacino was in 1997, when I saw him in City Hall.  I splurged on his films in 2000 and 2001, when I took in 5, including The Godfather and The Godfather II.  After a 12 year absence, Pacino returned to my screen earlier this year, in 2017’s horrible Hangman.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The most recent film of hers that I’ve seen was 2013’s Iron Man 3.

Paul Rudd

1998’s The Object Of My Affection was my first exposure (in a starring role) to Paul Rudd.  He then put together a 5 films in 4 years from 2008-2011 and, after taking a year off, had another 4 in 3 years.  I last saw him starring in 2018’s Ant-Man And The Wasp.
