Check out Jesse Eisenberg‘s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
i saw 2 of top 3. no 10s, no 9s, no hidden gems. social network a 7, justice league a 7.
Jesse Icenburger, annoying as heck as Lex Luthor (with Joker overtones?) but good in other films I’ve seen him in.
I’ve seen 12 of the 31 films on the chart.
Favorites are – Zombieland 1 & 2, Now You See Me 1 & 2, Rio 1 & 2, Justice League, Batman v Superman and Cursed (a silly werewolf film).
I have The Social Network on blu-ray, it’s a good film, well acted but not as enjoyable as all the guilty pleasures I’ve listed above.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
I know he got bashed as Lex Luther, but I liked him in those movies. So far he has had a nice career.
Hey Taylor….good breakdown on Jesse Eisenberg. I liked him as Luther as well. Good stuff.
Another one from your new book. Jesse Eisenberg has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. These are the actors on the 2020 list he has appeared with.

Hey Dan. Good catch…Jesse is indeed another subject that first made an appearance in the book versus the website. My co-worker and UMR Hall of Famer George V. has been highlighting the movies he has seen for each actor or actress in the book. He has been looking at the website as he goes through the book. He started noticing that some of the book subjects were not on the website…and started giving me grief about it for being a slacker. So I tried to write some pages on some of the early alphabetical stars. Of course he did not get to the Es….but did give me grief for not having a Ted Danson page. I just can not win….lol.
Changing subjects….can you e-mail me at cogersonmoviescore@gmail.com? I would like to do your UMR interview in the near future…..that is if you are willing to do the interview.
Hey Dan. Thanks for the trivia lists on Jesse Eisenberg. He has been a very busy actor the last two decades. I first remember seeing him in Roger Dodger. I have actually seen 25 of his movies…way more than I would have guessed. I suspect he will eventually crack the Oracle Top 1000. Looking at the first list, Woody Harrelson has the honors as most frequent Oracle co-star. I had not connected them together in the Now You See Me movies….I must be getting old…as I usually jump all over trivia like that. 20 Oscar winning co-stars is darn impressive for a young actor. Lots of great information on your lists…thanks for sharing it with us.
Excellent UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
