10 Actors With The Most Movie Deaths

7. Charlize Theron - 25 Fatalities

The only woman to rack up the deaths high enough for this list, Charlize Theron isn't the first name you think of when considering people passing away on screen - but with 25 deaths to 52 films, her chances of biting it during a feature are higher than most.

Playing everything from death row inmate Aileen Wuornos to super powered immortal in Hancock, Theron has worked hard at establishing her brand of authenticity across every genre in the book - and then been impaled by a murderous plant-demon as thanks for it.

The only death that matters, incidentally, is the one in Prometheus, in which her character Meredith Vickers forgets how physics works entirely and runs in a straight line away from a crashing spaceship. Whilst her death in Monster by lethal injection was Oscar-winning and ageing to the point of decrepitness in Snow White and The Hunstman was fun and all, forgetting to zig zag is still the only one that serves as a lasting memory. She's better than what that film did to her.
