10 Actors Who Made An Insane Amount Of Movies In One Year
5. Samuel L. Jackson Featured In 7 Movies In 2008
The Movies: Jumper, Iron Man, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Lakeview Terrace, Soul Men, The Spirit, Gospel Hill Everybody remembers that old Family Guy joke, right? "I bet Samuel L. Jackson's in it. He's in everything!" Back when Family Guy was actually funny, we all laughed at this candid comment because it said what everyone was thinking. He is in everything. And so Sam Jackson is - and presumably always will be - one of Hollywood's most prolific actors, because this guy can't seem to get enough of being in movies, taking roles in all kinds of motion picture exploits; the good, the bad and ugly. Jackson typically stars in 5 or 6 movies every year, a combination of lead roles and secondary characters, but in '08 he set an all-time record (for himself) when he appeared in a whopping 8 films. The good ones? Well, there's Iron Man, and... uh, okay, the only good film that year was Iron Man, whilst Jumper, Lakeview Terrace, Soul Men and The Spirit (oh God: The Spirit was so terrible!) were so bad that they seemed to physically hurt you.
Sam Hill is an ardent cinephile and has been writing about film professionally since 2008. He harbours a particular fondness for western and sci-fi movies.
