He seems to have the most actors that are honorable mention than anyone else I’ve seen. Wouldn’t it be cool or maybe numbing if there was an actor who appeared with all the actors on the list.
I saw him in Prospero’s Books in a cinema in London.
Johnny boy appeared with 60 other Oscar winners.

Hey Dan
1. Thanks for this information…good stuff as always.
2. So Sir John is one of the big ones? Coming in at an impressive 18th place.
3. Of course these lists are massive….how could they not be if a person is that highly rated on the Oracle list.
4. First list…most frequent co-stars….5 with Trevor Howard….with many at 4 movies.
5. The first list is massive…but not complete since Bruce Willis is not listed there….that he had to be his big regret….not working with Willis…lol.
6. Second list….60? Wow….that is one of the highest totals ever….but not enough to pass Sir Caine. When I was researching our Jim Broadbent page I thought his total of co-stars would be high…for some reason I did not think that when we were researching Sir Gielgud movies.
Good stuff as always.
