10 Actors Who Made An Insane Amount Of Movies In One Year

2. John Wayne Featured In 9 Movies In 1934

The Movies: Gold Strike River, West Of The Divide, Stolen Goods, The Man From Utah, Randy Rides Alone, The Star Packer, The Trail Beyond, The Lawless Frontier, 'Neath The Arizona Skies "Howdy, pilgrim." Ah, John Wayne - arguably the most famous cowboy in Hollywood history... and what a life! Wayne featured in an insane number of films over the course of his long and wonderful career (162 full-length movies if you're counting), which makes sense when you learn that he was putting out as many as 9 films in a single annum. When you're that prolific, it's not too surprising that the man managed to make 162 pictures. Still, Wayne was never as busy as he was back in 1934, a long time before he entered what many people would deem to be his "Golden Period" (that being the '40's and '50s). In 1934, though, Wayne went from bit part actor to leading man, and - indeed - he featured as either the main character or as a co-lead in all 9 films unveiled during that year. Granted, none of the movies are regarded as classics, but you can't deny his crazy work ethic.
