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. Given those guidelines, it is time once again to look at the now 107 actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of July 1.
We start today with the 27 actors that have starred in exactly 10 movies that I have seen, even from 3 years ago.
Jessica Alba
After a string of eight films in six years in the mid 2000s, there has been nothing new for Jessica Alba since I saw her in 2010’s Valentine’s Day in 2011.
Dan Aykroyd
No change in Aykroyd’s total, with it going on 21 years since I last saw one of his starring roles.
Elizabeth Banks
Banks first graced my screen in a starring role in 2006 thanks to The Baxter. After a dry spell in the early 2010s, she bounced back with seven films in five years, finishing up with 2018’s The Happytime Murders, which I saw in 2019.
Kate Beckinsale
It’s been a quiet six years for Beckinsale, who I last saw in Underworld: Blood Wars in early 2017.
Emily Blunt
Our first new entry, Emly Blunt’s first starring role was in 2007’s Wind Chill. Thanks to three films in 2014 and another two in 2018, her latest, 2021’s A Quite Place Part II, gave her ten appearances.
Gerard Butler
The Scottish actor first appeared on my screen thanks to 2003’s Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, which I saw in 2005. The Has Fallen franchise gave him three additional appearances, in 2013, 2016, and 2020. He last made a mark in 2022 with two films, 2016’s A Family Man and 2022’s Last Seen Alive.
