Check out Kevin James‘ career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
1/I have seen just 2 Kevin James movies: Hotel Transylvania and Monster House in both of which he has voice-only roles.
2/He has to his credit 14 acting nominations and one award; and he has amassed a net fortune of $100 million.
3/In the pipeline for him is a further TV series The Crew which is “in development”.
Thanks for the thoughts on Kevin James….he was a late addition to the book…..I recently saw him in Hubie Halloween (better than I thought it was going to be) and Becky (not too good…a rated version of Home Alone). Thanks for the information on this net worth and acting nominations. Not surprised he is trying his luck in television again…I think his days as a leading man in movies is over…..that being said…I do like him. Good stuff as always.
I’ve seen 13 of the 24 films on the chart. Favorites are – Hotel Transylvania 1-2-3, Monster House, Zohan and Pixels. I remember Paul Blart Mall Cop making me laugh but it must be a decade since I last saw it. I haven’t seen the sequel. Zookeeper might be worth a look.
Nice work Vote Up!
Hey Steve….I am at 22 of his movies seen….I had no idea I was so close to being a Kevin James completist. Looks like many of his Sandler projects made your favorites list. The Hotel Transylvania are silly but fun movies. I liked the first Paul Blart movie as well. The sequel is not very good. Good stuff as always.
What no Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation?
Kevin James has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. This might be because he appears with the same people over and over. Among them Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Jonathan Loughran, all former members of the top 1000.
These are the people on the 2020 list he has appeared with.

Hey Dan. Good point….messed that up. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation should have been on the page…and in the book. Sadly the version of the book you bought has more errors in it than I would have liked…..when I get them all fixed….I will be more than glad to replace the book you bought. Just let me know where to send the book. His entire movie career is almost directly attached to Adam Sandler. Especially over the last 10 years. Steve Buscemi leading the way in the first list….and only 2 Oscar winners. Are you sure Sandler did not win at least one Oscar?….lol. Good information as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
