Actors and trilogys question

clusk007

A mate asked me in the pub the other night to name as many actors as you can that have been in two trilogys. Said they were doing it in work and are up to 12. So far I have

Sylvester Stallone -- Rambo, Rocky (not technically a trilogy but you get the idea)
Thalia Shire -- Rocky, Godfather
Orlando Bloom -- Pirates, Lord of the rings
Mike Myers -- Shrek, Austin Powers
Eddie Murphy --Shrek, Beverly Hills Cop
Bruce Campbell -- evil dead, Spiderman

anyone suggest any more? don't use the Internet otherwise what's the point!

Basq

Hugo Weaving - Lord of The Rings / The Matrix

?

Penn

Sir Ian McKellen - Lord of the Rings / X-Men

Why are we using spoilers though?

No clue.. probably in case anyone else wants to give the game a go and not have the answers spoiled.

Thought of another one -

Michael J Fox - Back To The Future / Stuart Little

Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones, Star Wars

Does the actor have to appear in all three films to qualify, if not then Bruce Spence has been in three trilogies, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Matrix,

clusk007

they would have to be in all three I think. reason for the spoiler was exactly that, not to spoil the game for anyone else! It's easy when you know the answers!!

Fair enough. Also thought of another one

Orlando Bloom - Lord of the Rings / Pirates of the Carribean

Does it have to be an actual trilogy or does an actor playing the same character in a number of movies which are connected but aren't a trilogy count?

If the latter

Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels (a trilogy) and a Nick Fury in Iron Man 1&2, and in pre-production for Captain America; First Avenger and possibly The Avengers and Nick Fury in 2012. (connected but not trilogies)

iguana

Another one.

James Earl Jones in Star Wars and as James Greer in The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger.

iguana

Patrick Stewart, Start Trek and X-men and Mel Gibson, Mad Max and Lethal Weapon.

I can't believe how many actors I think I've gotten, but they've done one trilogy and two parts of a longer series, like Joe Pesci in the latter 3 Lethal Weapon movies and the first two Home Alones.:(
