\"Movie_Reel_22\"<\/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’ve carried on in my database ever since. \u00a0So, given those guidelines, it is time to look at all of the actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of May 30th.<\/p>\n

Today, we continue\u00a0with the 5 actors that have starred in 13 movies that I have seen.<\/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 The Last Supper<\/em>. \u00a0She managed to get 2 films on my list in 4 different years, most recently in 2010. \u00a0I’ve drifted away from her output in recent years, as the last one I’ve seen was 2011’s Bad Teacher<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

In 1994, I saw a little film called Kalifornia<\/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 A 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 3 films in 2000. \u00a0Pitt currently has a 4 year streak on the line, starting in 2010 and continuing through last year, when I saw World War Z<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

The first starring roles of Natalie Portman’s that I saw were in 2001, when I watched a double feature of Where The Heart Is<\/em> and Anywhere But Here<\/em>. \u00a0Her appearances in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and the Thor franchise have accounted for 31% of her overall total. \u00a02011 was a big Portman year for me, as I saw a whopping 4 of her films. \u00a0My last experience with her work was last year’s Thor: The Dark World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Keanu Reeves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keanu Reeves slinked on to my movie screens in 1988 in a small film called Permanent Record<\/em>. \u00a0The following year, he became huge thanks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure<\/em>. \u00a02005 was my best Reeves year, when I managed to see 2 of his films. \u00a0For my last film of his, you have to go back to 2009, when I saw his remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Will Smith’s transition from rapper to TV star to movie star began with 1995’s Bad Boys<\/em>.\u00a0 The following two year, he cemented himself as a huge star with the double feature of Independence Day<\/em> and Men In Black<\/em>. \u00a0The Bad Boys<\/em> and Men In Black<\/em> franchises have made up over 38% of his total movies that I’ve seen, with the third film in the latter, which I saw last year, being my most recent exposure to his work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
