158 different people starred in the 89 movies I saw last year (starring in being the first two named stars, a tradition dating back to the old Chicago Tribune TV guide which populated the early days of my database), and a whopping 9 of them were in more than 1 film. Those 9 thespians are:
| Actor Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Liam Neeson | 3 |
| Sandra Bullock | 2 |
| Tom Cruise | 2 |
| Samuel L. Jackson | 2 |
| James McAvoy | 2 |
| Melissa McCarthy | 2 |
| Ryan Reynolds | 2 |
| Kiernan Shipka | 2 |
| Bruce Willis | 2 |
