Actor in 3 trilogy's

MiCr0

any one know has there been an actor in 3 trilogy's?

Gillie

The closest i can think of is:

Hugo Weaving - Lotr & The Matrix

or

Mel Gibson - Lethal Weapon Series and Mad Max Series

That's all I can think of!
Don't know of any actor in 3 Trilogies.

vibe666

got it.

you wanna know?

Harrison Ford.

Star Wars

Indiana Jones

An as JAck Ryan in Patriot Games, CLear & Present Danger, and the other one (can't remember). might have been red october, but I think it was Alec Baldwin as the character back then. maybe though. he's definately the closest so far though.

Bacchus

Sly Stallone perhaps - Rambo and Rocky. Although does it count as a trilogy if more sequels are made afterwards or does it have to be 3 movies, Alien was a trilogy but then the 4th got made so is it still a trilogy but with another sequel made. Can't think of a third "series" of movies Sly has been in.

Ian Mckellen has been in LOTR and soon will be in X-Men3. Has he been in another trilogy.

Harrison Ford - Star Wars (Original Trilogy) and Indiana Jones. Once again, can't think of a third.

vibe666

ian mckellan did a bunch of different shakesphere stuff if that counts. probably not. same writer (obviously) but different characters.

the third in that series was sum of all fears, tho jack ryan was played by ben affleck, i didnt know the hunt for red october was part of that series, was there any other jack ryan movies?

TUTS

Bruce Willis in Die Hard, Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance. Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, ..............and most of the characters in the 3 films.:p

Bacchus

Harrison Ford was only in 2 out of 3 of the Jack Ryan movies.

flangeman

Sig Weaver in the Alien Trilogy

M j Fox in Back to the Future

Gillie

OK so Harrison is the closest so far.

Youv'e also got Micheal J fox as a close second:
Back to the future Trilogy
Stuart Little 1 & 2 (voice)
Homeward Bound 1 & 2 (voice)

superfly

Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierse Brosnan have all been in at least 3 Bond Movies
Doug Bradley in the first 3 Hellraiser films
i'm sure other horror icons have been played by the same actor, such as Jason, Michael Myers
any of the new star wars films would have the same actors such as Ewen McGregor and Natalie Portman

Gillie

Eddie Murphy is close aswell:

Beverly Hills cop 1,2 & 3
48 hours/Another 48 hours
Dr. Dolittle 1 & 2
Shrek 1 & 2

As is Emilio Estevez:
Mighty Ducks Trilogy
Young Guns I & II
Stakeout/Another Stakeout

MiCr0

yea,
been through all of them and plenty more....

thanks for trying though

2 of the 4 movies.

HUnt For Red October was the first. Jack was played by Alec Baldwin.

Harrison did Patriot Games and Clear & Present Danger,.

Benny Boy did the newest one.

soneone at work here mentioned Lassie. not sure if Lassie counts as an actor though (or actress).

The Beer Baron

My money is on James earl jones. Is there a lion king 3?

must be- they've been playing lion king movies non-stop in our local xtra vision for some 4 months now.

SIMM-BAAAHHH- I am your father!

ARRGGHHHH! Get away from me evil disney pap I feel unclean!

yellum

Its probably some bit actor and not a leading star if there is such an actor.

Bannor

It's only a matter of time before Bruce Campbell will...

The Evil Dead
Evil Dead II
Army of Darkness

Spiderman
Spiderman II
Spiderman III??
Sam Raimi has said he will always find cameo roles for Campbell so if he completes the trilogy then so will Bruce.

And finally a dodgy trilogy...
The Hudsucker Proxy
Fargo
Intolerable Cruelty

A trilogy of Cohen brothers movies!

tman

bruce was in spiderman?

Bannor

He was the announcer in the wrestling ring. Peter Parker wanted to be announced as "The Human Spider" and the announcer decided the name sucked so he announced him as "Spiderman".

Bruce Campbell named Spiderman :cool:

beardedchicken

What about Christopher Lee in the LOTR trilogy and also in the Star Wars series

Bacchus

Christopher Lee is only in Episode 2 and 3. He wasn't in the first one.

ObeyGiant

I have one, but you're not going to like it...
Christopher Lee.
He was in:
* Three Lord of the rings Movies
* Three Musketeers / Four Musketeers / Return of the Musketeers
* (Face of / Blood of / Brides of) Fu Manchu

What's my prize?

Devious

Some sad news there on Chris Lee im afraid. From what iv been reading it looks like ALL his scenes have been axed from the theatrical version of ROTK. They will be there for the DVD of course but still..... a damn shame.

echomadman

Yeah I said Christopher Lee in IRC earlier, but I couldn't think of the names of the older films.

how could they do that? for anyone too lazy to have read the book

he's an integral part of the end of the story! missing tom bombadil out of the first one is one thing, but they can't tell the story with saruman missing from the end.

Don't forget the Dracula movies too... :eek:
There were more than three of those though..... I think.

callmescratch

assuming we get a third x-men, patrick stewart will have been in three of those and a load of star trek films too.
also cheech marin, three cheech + chong movies and three spy-kids movies (lame).
harrison was also in american graffiti and more american graffiti (uncredited according to imdb).
can't find any that fulfill all the criteria though

He's in the full Jack Ryan Trilogy (Red October, Patriot Games & Clear and Present Danger) as Admiral Greer and of course star wars as everyones favourite bucket head.

Only 2 Lion Kings though

BlitzKrieg

Arnie is in 2 trilogy's but i'm missing a 3rd

Terminator 1+2+3
Conan the barbarian/destroyer + Red Sonja.

But does terminator count seeing he was a different terminator each time...

BlitzKrieg

Jackie chan is the closest:

Police story 1+2+3+4
rush hour 1+2 +3 which is in production
Armour of god 1+2


we are short 1 movie DAMN!

GuanYin

Micheal York has 2 aswell

Well, if you're getting picky about him playing a different Terminator in each one, then you should probably discount Red Sonja too, since he wasn't playing Conan then. Just a random barbarian.

How about...
Police story 1+2+3+4
rush hour 1+2 +3 which is in production
"Winners & Sinners" and its sequels: "My Lucky Stars" + "Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars"

So far I see only one actor who is in three definite 'trilogies' as opposed to someone who's in a chain of flics like police academy or something.

Therefore, only actor to who qualifies as being in three trilogies so far (as stated earlier):

Christopher Lee

(LOTR, Star Wars 4,5,6 & Three Musketeers Tril)

He wasn't in three of the Star Wars films. If he makes a return in Episode III, he'll have been in 2.

The other 'trilogy' for Christopher Lee was the Fu Manchu films.

Eh no, not remotely as:
1) Not in Return of the King
and
2) Not in Star Wars 4 (which I assume you meant as Episode I - "The Phantom Meance"). He's only in Episodes II & III.

ObeyGiant

He is in return of the King. Just not the version that'll be played in the cinema.

Hunt for the Red October starred Alex Baldwin as Jack Ryan.

Jack Ryan is more like James Bond, as there are more in the series then 3. Only 3 movies have been made.

Mark Hamill Star Wars most actors from Star Wars.

Micheal J Fox Back to the Future
Christopher Lloyd Back to the Future

Aronld Swekjfaskldj T1,2,3

Was Norman Bates (Forgotten actors name) in the Thrid Pshyco?

Pmc

How about James Earl Jones. He's close:

The Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
Clear and Present Danger
He plays Adm James Greer in these three.

He does the voice for Darth Vader in the first three Star Wars.

He does the voice for Musfasa in the two Lion King movies.

That's if voice credits count.....

Pmc

Someone has already posted this.....
Doh.

Doh! Sry bout that, was sure he was in Episode I for some reason.

As far as I'm concerned he can however be considered to be in ROTK as he will be appear on the full version of the film (DVD release).

Evil_Bilbo

Mike Myers - nearly.
Austin Powers 1-3
Shrek 1&2
Waynes World 1&2

Also - the only director to do 2 completely seperate trilogies (correct me if I'm wrong here dudes) Roberto Rodruigez:

El Mariachi
Desperado
Once upon a time in mexico

And (believe it or not)
Spy kids 1, 2 and 3D

Also - antonio banderas starred in all of these (except el mariachi)

Another - Bruce willis
Die hard 1-3
Look who's talking (voice 1-3?? - definitely in 1 anyway)

And - John Travolta (nearly)
Saturday night fever and staying alive
Look who's talking trilogy

Heh?

Dewey

Will Smith nearly aswell:

Bad Boys 1 & 2. (with a reported third 1 on the way)
Men In Black 1 & 2 (with a reported third 1 on the way)


AHH..this is bugging me now!:mad:
