\"\"<\/a>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 111 actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of August 1.<\/p>\n

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

Kevin Bacon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first newcomer of the week, Bacon first showed up on my screen prior to the start of my database, either with 1988\u2019s\u00a0She\u2019s Having a Baby<\/em>\u00a0or 1991\u2019s\u00a0He Said, She Said<\/em>.\u00a0 After that, he showed up in spurts, with two films each in 1996, 1998, and 2001.\u00a0 He laid fallow for 17 years before returning in 2018 with 2017\u2019s\u00a0Patriots Day<\/em>.\u00a0 His most recent appearance came in 2023 thanks to the prior year’s They\/Them<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Daniel Craig<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Craig first appeared on my radar in a starring role in 2007, when I watched his initial outing as James Bond in\u00a0Casino Royale<\/em>.\u00a0 I had two three-year mini-streaks, with films in 2007 through 2009 and 2011 through 2013.\u00a0 His most recent appearance came earlier this year in 2025\u2019s Wake Up Dead Man<\/em>, his third go-around as Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio<\/strong><\/p>\n

DiCaprio first appeared on my movie screen in 1996, with The Basketball Diaries<\/em>.\u00a0 After a three-year run to start, I had a gap of eight years between his films, from 2002-2009.\u00a0 2011 was his most prolific year, with three different films.\u00a0 The most recent film of his that I\u2019ve seen was 2021’s Don’t Look Up<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Michael Douglas<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have not seen a Michael Douglas starring project since 2015\u2019s\u00a0Ant-Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Aaron Eckhart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aaron Eckhart first\u00a0showed up on the list\u00a0of film actors I\u2019ve seen way back in 1999 with\u00a0Your Friends & Neighbors<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, his appearances have been a little haphazard, with nothing more than three two-year streaks over the past 21 years.\u00a0 The most recent film of his I\u2019ve seen was 2014\u2019s atrocious I, Frankenstein<\/em>, which I unfortunately saw in 2020.<\/p>\n

Chris Evans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris Evans first appeared on my screen in 2002 thanks to the previous year\u2019s\u00a0Not Another Teen Movie<\/em>\u00a0and has been a pretty steady presence ever since.\u00a0 In 2011, he debuted as Captain America in\u00a0Captain America: The First Avenger<\/em>\u00a0and picked up an additional five films for the remainder of the decade, ending with his final appearance in\u00a0Avengers: End Game<\/em> in 2019.\u00a0 His most recent appearance came in 2024 with Red One<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hugh Grant<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There haven\u2019t been many years that I\u2019ve seen a Hugh Grant film, but, when I do, they tend to come in spurts.\u00a0 My first experience with him was likely 1994\u2019s\u00a0Sirens<\/em>, which I am unsure of when I actually saw it.\u00a0 He notched three films in 2000, and two apiece in 2005 and 2008.\u00a0 After a twelve-year absence, he returned to my screen in 2020, thanks to 2004\u2019s\u00a0Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason<\/em>.\u00a0 His most recent appearance came in 2024’s Heretic<\/em>, which I saw in a theater in Boston with Angelina<\/p>\n

Corey Haim<\/strong><\/p>\n

My final Haim film was 1993\u2019s\u00a0Just One of the Girls<\/em>, which I saw in 2004. \u00a0Haim passed away in 2010, so he is not likely to be moving up this list anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Helen Hunt<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I first came across Helen Hunt back in 1987\u2019s\u00a0Project X<\/em>. \u00a0She racked up nine of her twelve films between 1994 and 2006, with a double shot in 1996 thanks to Trancers<\/em> and Twister<\/em>.\u00a0 After a fifteen-year hiatus, she returned to my screen in 2021, thanks to 2019’s I See You<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hugh Jackman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since he replaced Dougray Scott as Wolverine in 2000\u2019s\u00a0X-Men<\/em>, Hugh Jackman has been a steady presence on my movie screen.\u00a0 Eight of those appearances have been in the X-Men universe, including his last appearance, in 2024\u2019s Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Liam Neeson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liam Neeson\u2019s first starring role that I saw came in 1999\u2019s\u00a0Star Wars: Episode I \u2013 The Phantom Menace<\/em>.\u00a0 That was followed by another film in 2000, and then nothing until 2009, when he returned in\u00a0Taken<\/em>.\u00a0 I saw three of his films in both 2014 and 2019, when I last saw him in\u00a0The Commuter<\/em>,\u00a0Cold Pursuit<\/em>, and\u00a0Widows<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gwyneth Paltrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most recent film of hers that I\u2019ve seen was 2013\u2019s\u00a0Iron Man 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
