\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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. \u00a0The guide would list the two main stars for each movie, and that is a tradition that I\u2019ve carried on in my database ever since.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

We continue today with the five actors that have starred in exactly 16 movies that I have seen, an increase of three from 3 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Drew Barrymore<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most prolific actors on my radar in the 1990s and 2000s, she has disappeared since, with the most recent of her films that I\u2019ve seen, Music And Lyrics<\/em>, coming in 2008.<\/p>\n

Cameron Diaz<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first encountered Cameron Diaz back in 1996, when I saw her in a little indie film called\u00a0The Last Supper<\/em>. \u00a0She managed to get two films on my list in four different years, most recently in 2010. \u00a0She has mostly retired from acting, which explains why 2010\u2019s Knight and\u00a0Day<\/em>, which I saw in 2019, remains the last film of hers I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

Brad Pitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1994, I saw a little film called\u00a0Kalifornia<\/em>, which introduced me to Brad Pitt. \u00a0While he would become a mega-star over the next few years, I was a bit of a late comer to his films. \u00a0Other than watching\u00a0A River Runs Through It<\/em> in 1997 during the Sports in Literature class I took during my last semester of college, it was 2000 before I saw another Pitt film. \u00a0Making up for lost time, I plowed through three films in 2000.\u00a0 He had a four-year streak between in 2010 and 2013, then entered a dry spell that ended in 2020, when he reappeared with two films.\u00a0 His most recent appearance was in 2022, thanks to that year’s Bullet Train<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Natalie Portman<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first starring roles of Natalie Portman\u2019s that I saw were in 2001, when I watched a double feature of\u00a0Where The Heart Is<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Anywhere But Here<\/em>. \u00a0Her appearances in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and the Thor franchise have accounted for over 31% of her overall total. \u00a02011 was a big Portman year for me, as I saw a whopping four of her films. \u00a0My last experience with her work came in 2022, when she returned to the MCU with Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Will Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>Will Smith\u2019s transition from rapper to TV star to movie star began with 1995\u2019s\u00a0Bad Boys<\/em>.\u00a0 The following two year, he cemented himself as a huge star with the double feature of\u00a0Independence Day<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Men In Black<\/em>. \u00a0The Bad Boys<\/em> and Men In Black<\/em> franchises have made up over 37% of his total movies that I\u2019ve seen.\u00a0 My most recent exposure to his work came in 2020, when I saw both 2019\u2019s Gemini Man<\/em>\u00a0and 2020’s Bad Boys For Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
