\"\"<\/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 twelve actors that have starred in exactly 15 movies that I have seen, an increase of three from 3 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amy Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amy Adams made her first appearance on my screen in 2001, when I watched the repurposed television pilot that became Cruel Intentions 2<\/em>.\u00a0 She returned in 2008, starting a run of eight films in four years.\u00a0 After a five-year absence, she returned in 2022 with the previous year’s The Woman In The Window<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first experience with the former teenage scream queen was likely one of the first two Halloween <\/em>films, the franchise that is responsible for nearly 47% of the films on this list.\u00a0 After a seven-year lull, she returned with the latest reboot\/continuation of the Halloween <\/em>franchise, culminating in 2022’s Halloween Ends<\/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 last year.<\/p>\n

Anne Hathaway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like most of America, I first saw Anne Hathaway on the silver screen back in 2003 in\u00a0The Princess Diaries<\/em>. \u00a0In the intervening years, she had been a steadfast presence on my movie (or television) screen, including three films in 2005 and four in 2009.\u00a0 Things have slowed a bit this decade, with her latest appearance being 2019\u2019s The Hustle<\/em>, which I saw in 2020.<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her last appearance on my screen is still in 2012, when I saw her in\u00a0Changeling<\/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

Julia Stiles<\/strong><\/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 earlier this year.<\/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’s 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’s 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\u00a0Fear<\/em>, in which he costarred with another star at this level, in 1996. \u00a0There have been 4 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

Reese Witherspoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reese Witherspoon crashed into my movie going consciousness in 1996 with two entries, the aforementioned Fear<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Freeway<\/em>. \u00a0A six-year streak started in 1999 and finished in 2004 with the sequel to Legally Blonde<\/em>.\u00a0 She last crossed my path, at least on the silver screen, in 2020, when I watched 2017\u2019s Home Again<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
