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

7. Jude Law Featured In 6 Movies In 2004

The Movies: Alfie, I Heart Huckabees, Closer, The Aviator, Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events At the end of 2004, Jude Law actually came to the realisation that he was "in everything." Genuinely: the actor concluded that he had been appearing in too many movies and - as a result - the public were beginning to get a tad sick of him. What did Jude Law do to counteract this, then? The only thing he knew how: he took a year out. So whilst there were a whopping 6 Jude Law movies in 2004, there were none in 2005 (and just three in 2006). Still, 2004 was very much Jude Law's year - the actor (then considered one of the biggest movie stars in the world; how things change) could be glimpsed within the frames of six motion picture ventures. No wonder he got sick of himself. From a failed attempt to remake Alfie to a failed sci-fi blockbuster in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, it wasn't the most successful year - at least critically - for ol' Jude. Still, Closer was good and The Aviator was almost great (even if Jude only had a brief role).
