\"\"<\/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 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 eleven actors that have starred in exactly fifteen movies that I have seen, a decrease of one from three years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jason Bateman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Bateman first appeared on my radar with 1987\u2019s Teen Wolf Too<\/em>.\u00a0 After another film in 1992, he took the rest of the century off and didn\u2019t reappear on my screen until 2010, when he started a streak of five films in three years, followed by another streak of seven films in five years ending in 2018.\u00a0 He returned to my screen again in 2024, thanks to Carry On<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

The\u00a0SNL<\/em>\u00a0alum first\u00a0streaked on to the list\u00a0of film actors I\u2019ve seen in 2003 with\u00a0Old School<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, his appearances have been pretty consistent, with 2012-2013 being the longest streak of him not appearing on my screen.\u00a0 The most recent film of his I\u2019ve seen was 2013\u2019s Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues<\/em>, which I finally saw in 2022.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The delightful Jennifer Lawrence first appeared on my screen in 2011, thanks to 2010\u2019s\u00a0Winter\u2019s Bone<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, I have seen her in at least one movie every year through 2023, tripling up in 2013, for an active streak of thirteen straight years that ended with 2023\u2019s No Hard Feelings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Steve Martin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last starring role of his that I saw remains 2005\u2019s\u00a0Shopgirl<\/em>, which I saw in 2009.<\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds first appeared on my movie radar in 2006, when I saw him in both\u00a0The Amityville Horror<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Just Friends<\/em>, which started a streak of five films in four years.\u00a0 He had double shots in 2006, 2011, 2017, and 2019.\u00a0 He returned as Deadpool in 2024\u2019s Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em>, which was the last I saw of him.<\/p>\n

Winona Ryder<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first became aware of Winona Ryder in the hit film Beetlejuice<\/em>, but her first starring role that I saw came in 1990, when I saw the dark comedy Heathers<\/em>. \u00a0My biggest Ryder year was 2000, when I saw two of her films.\u00a0 After a thirteen-year absence, she returned to my screen in 2024, thanks to the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Julia Stiles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1999\u2019s\u00a010 Things I Hate About You<\/em> was my first exposure to Julia Stiles. She had been a steady presence since, picking up ten films between 1999 and 2008.\u00a0 She managed to score multiple films in both 2001 and 2006. Things have been spotty since, with only five films over the past fifteen years, with the latest being 2022\u2019s Orphan: First Kill<\/em>, which I saw in 2023.<\/p>\n

Charlize Theron<\/strong><\/p>\n

2000 brought Charlize Theron\u2019s starring roles into my life in a big way, when she debuted with three films in one year.\u00a0 She has been pretty consistent since, with mini-streaks in 2004-2005, 2007-2008, 2012-2013, and 2015-2016.\u00a0 Her last appearances were a double shot in 2020, with 2019\u2019s Long Shot<\/em>\u00a0followed by 2003\u2019s Monster<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Vince Vaughn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vince Vaughn splashed on to the scene in 1996\u2019s\u00a0Swingers<\/em>, which I saw in 1998. \u00a0Since then, he has been fairly consistent, with me seeing a film of his either every year or every other year through the early 2010s.\u00a0 Things slowed down after 2011, when I saw both Psycho<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Dilemma<\/em>.\u00a0 After a five-year absence, he returned to my screen in 2021, when I saw the previous year\u2019s breakout horror hit Freaky<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mark Wahlberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former leader of the Funky Bunch first moved over to movies with 1996’s Fear<\/em>. \u00a0There have been four years since where I have seen multiple Wahlberg flicks, most recently in 2018.\u00a0 The last film of his that I saw was the second of those 2018 flicks, 2017\u2019s Transformers: The Last Knight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Robin Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing as he is no longer walking the Earth, 2008 is still both my\u00a0biggest Williams year and my last time seeing his films, thanks to\u00a0Jack<\/em>,\u00a0License To Wed<\/em>, and\u00a0The Night Listener<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
