13 Great Actors Who Star In Multiple Film Franchises

8. Liam Neeson

What You Get: The Batman Franchise, The Star Wars Franchise, The Narnia Franchise Before he started becoming the new Chuck Norris of references (before he came out with Taken), Neeson was respected for his work in films like Schindler's List and Kinsey. Now, Neeson, with age, has become this new force of nature, able to take down the entire cast of The Expendables with nothing but a MacGyver'd knife made of matchsticks. So, with him, you'll get some off-the-wall options like Darkman and Breakfast on Pluto, and some more serious work like Gangs of New York. Whether or not you want to claim the Narnia films is completely on you.

7. Ralph Fiennes

What You Get: The Harry Potter Franchise, The Hannibal Lector Franchise, The James Bond Franchise A little bit of Shakespeare, a little bit of romance, a lotta bit of villainy. Just by his franchise grab alone (with a little bit of "cheating") you get 35 films right off the bat. That's impressive enough, but getting to add Coriolanus, In Bruges, Schindler's List, The Hurt Locker, The Constant Gardner, The English Patient, The Reader, The Prince of Egypt, and Quiz Show is definitely going to be pretty appealing. I would say that Fiennes has my personal vote.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
