A friend and I were trying to figure out who has acted in the most movies, and we tested several names on www.imdb.com, and found the following apparent leaders in terms of their listed filmography:John Wayne: 177
Toshiro Mifune: 169
Earnest Borgnine: 144
Gerard Depardieu: 143
Buster Keaton: 130There must be others that we are missing. Any suggestions?
Especially lacking here in terms of quantity of films are females, because, I suppose, their careers are usually considerably shorter than for men.

Follow Ups:
film career lasted from 1912-1987, she appeared in over 100 films
including Birth of a Nation and Intolerance
Grins
Followed closely by Ron Jeremy at 821. Take that, Kate Hepburn!
Guinness Book of World Records credits Ron Jeremy with over 1750 appearances in adult films. He was also in "Jesus Christ Superstar". Didn't know he was cast in Frankenheimer's "Ronin", but his part was cut out, tee hee.
His career came in spurts.

but hey...whatever floats your boat :-)

You mean he gets paid to do this?
I donīt know if any of them is good..., but 549 he did.And rumor says that there are some (indian actors) who have played in even more films...

I tought of Indians actors but was to lasy for a name search..Have you read Bunuelīs book?
Wonderful.
Especially the two last episodes in "Dreams and daydreams", when he fantasizes about kidding Alcoriza with that stuffed eagle he makes him to shoot, and that whore with "with compliments from Luis Bunuel" tattooed in her belly...As I once said here, this man was a first-class, genial cheater...

P.S. How is Nelly? Is she any better? She comes to my mind a few times every day, and I feel your suffering...
Wonderful book, the first chapter, the one with the loss of memory is chilling,it was the same as with my mother....
No only me but my dear wife too. We do our best. I let you know.
Merci for your thoughts, that helps.
And Victor and his wife who are so sweet......
I have subtracted TV and Archive appearancesThe only one of these who could be considered a star was Johnny Mack Brown, who once so-stared with Harlow. Character actors and bit players got a lot more offers and they took it because they made so little money. There are certainly more, but I have other things to do.
Walter Brennan 210
"Gabby Hayes" 191
Boris Karloff 175
Johnny Mack Brown 167
"Smiley" Burnett 137
Peter Cushing 136
Moe Howard of the Three Stooges...is listed with 236 film credits at IMDB!!You didn't say they had to be QUALITY films.
Nyuck-Nyuck-Nyuck!
The early ones were quality short films.
Analog Scott,I had no intention of denegrating the quality of the work of Moe and Company. I love the Stooges, and think that Jerome (Curly) Hward was a comic genius.
woo-woo-woooo
I didn't think you did. I just wanted to offer my basic opinion of the stooges.
That was active!
Mac Sennett (is that who you meant?) had 537; active indeed! but all producing rather than acting credits.

Sorry, patrickU, my bad--I didn't look down the page far enough. Yep, 335 as an actor! Wow!
Cetaele (aka Bob)
Sorry for the typo: But I count 335. As an actor.
Where does Michael Caine come in in this rating? He is most prolific.

Bob,
Interesting question...and interesting (but not surprising) about Chris Lee...I was trying to think of an actor who had made a great amount of "low budget" stuff, but Lee didn't come to mind. I'll have to check on guys like Tim Thomerson...
So far, Joan Crawford leads my search for the femme with the most films: 97 in all.
I thought someone like Ruth Gordon who began her film career in 1915 (!) and was still acting on cellloid in the late 80's would have a long list of credits...but she took 20 years out of her film career to work on the stage.
The search continues...
Thanks,
I think Christopher Lee has everyone you listed beat.
