Actors who have starred in more than one major trilogy

[nytemare]

Harrison Ford-Star Wars/Indiana Jones
John Rhys-Davies-Indiana Jones/Lord of the Rings
Hugo Weaving-Lord of the Rings/Matrix
Christopher Lee-Lord of the Rings/Star Wars

Any more anyone can think of?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Ian McDiarmid, Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels - Star Wars IV-VI and I-III

(though Ian wasn't actually in Star Wars IV, of course)

[nytemare]

6. I was sort of considering Star Wars together

I was glad they put Ian in 1-3 as well, though. When I first saw Phantom Menace, I was sort of freaked out by it. Seeing Return of the Jedi as a kiddo, I thought the guy had to be 80. Then I saw Phantom, and he was in the movie, and I was thinking, wow, he looks just like the one in Return of the Jedi, but 40 years younger. Then I saw the credits and realized it was the same actor. I suppose as a child I had no concept that make up could make that much of a difference, that everything was as met the eye. I didn't have much of a computer before Phantom Menace, so I wasn't able to do any "research" on the movie.

The stuff kids think!

21. Or V, orginally. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Aye, that's why I said he didn't appear in Episode IV

[caty]

28. John Travolta

in the "Look Who's Talking" trilogy. :shrug: :rofl:

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. Don't forget Yoda!

He was in 5 out of the 6 movies. Originally a hand puppet operated by Frank Oz, and later a CGI creature, but Frank still did the voice.

And Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca was in the first 3 movies and the last one as well. Though one of the plot holes that Return of the Sith did NOT fix is how Chewie went from being a leader of the Wookie planet to the co-pilot of the Millenium Falcon.

2. Was't Hugo Weaving in the Matrix Trilogy as well ?

[sundog]

4. yup

there should be another thread: actors who have been in three major trilogies

[nytemare]

7. I did a boo boo

I don't remember him being in Indiana Jones, I made an error and replaced that for the Matrix.

Doh!!

[sundog]

10. damn... you could have fooled me

not a big indiana jones fan... i wouldn't know the diff :P

[nytemare]

12. Hugo Weaving is a pretty neat dude

I loved the Agent Smith voice. Miiiiiiisttttttter Annnnndersonnnn!

[Tallison]

3. Self-delete

Was way off on that...

[PittPoliSci]

5. add Matrix to Hugo Weaving.

[nytemare]

8. I screwed up in my original post

What was I thinking???

:shrug:

[Floogeldy]

9. Clint Eastwood

B-)

[nytemare]

11. Help me out here

I just watched Million Dollar Baby, which he did a superb job directing. I am not too familiar with his early, early stuff.

2 trilogys?

[Floogeldy]

14. Um . . .

The spaghetti westerns and Harry Callahan and the one with the orangutang? Rawhide?

:scared:

[nytemare]

16. Ok, I remember the Callahan ones

LOL, don't be scared. I have watched a lot of old movies, just not all of them!

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. "The man with no name" western series, "Dirty Harry" and "Every Which

Way but Loose", though the latter might only have been two movies.

[Ladyhawk]

13. Love your GIF. I stole it. :D n/t

[nytemare]

18. Thank you!

I don't see it on your post, though!

[Ladyhawk]

20. I stole the new one, too. :D

I'm just stealing them, not putting them in my sig. I have an "Animated GIF" folder in "My Pictures." It went there. :D

My Force storm beats your blue lightning. :P

[nytemare]

31. I just used the blue lightning/red saber as a blue state/red state

analogy.

:)

I like your floaty lightsaber avatar.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

15. Gandalf is magneto

not looking up his name now, Xmen not a trilogy yet but will be, and im sure magneto will be in it.

[nytemare]

17. Ahhhhhh Ian McKellen!

Great actor, I loved him in LOTR.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

27. yes, amazing actor

Gandalf rocked.

[nytemare]

32. Yes, and Christopher Lee was his perfect nemesis!

I enjoyed that trilogy quite a lot.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

39. both of them were born to play wizards

that wizard fight was so sweet. I really hope they start making more of these fantasy type movies with shit like wizard fights in them. I could use a lot more wizards and dragons in movies.

Slight tangent but I had really high hopes for D&D the movie. I was sooo pissed that it was such shit. I mean how can you, in this day and age, completely botch a D&D movie?

[nytemare]

41. That and the Palpatine/Yoda duel were the best ever!

They were essentially the wizards of Star Wars.

I never saw the D&D movie, but I think there are so many comic book type concepts for movies, that with the awesome special effects, the stories fall by the wayside.

[Mojambo]

23. Don't forget Mel Gibson

Lethal Weapon and Mad Max

[nytemare]

33. Ahhhhh thank you!

:)

[DerekG]

24. Bruce Spence, who appears in *three* trilogies....I WIN!!!

Star Wars (Revenge of the Sith): He was the alien who warned Obi-Wan about the Separatists on Utupua (sp?).

The Lord of the Rings (Return of the King): He was the Mouth of Sauron.

Mad Max (The Road Warrior): He was the Gyro Captain.

[nytemare]

35. I didn't get the extended edition on that

I had the extended FOTR, but that got stolen. Is the last one worth it?

[KitchenWitch]

25. ...

Mike Myers - Austin Powers and Wayne's World :rofl:

[recoveringdittohed]

29. Myers (Shrek)

If they make another Shrek movie Myers wlll have another trilogy (do animated voices count?)

[nytemare]

36. Was Wayne's World a trilogy?

I think I did hear that there will be another Shreck.

Mike Myers is THE most talented comic actor in my book. I like some roles of Jim Carrey, but he comes across as being to forced in his mainly comic roles, where with Myers, it just seems natural.

I absolutely loved Austin Powers, especilly "The Spy who Shagged Me".

[3lefts]

26. Stallone...

Rocky and Rambo

[nytemare]

34. Another one!

Thank you for your addition!

[cheeseit]

37. Samuel L. Jackson- Die Hard and Jurassic Park

Although he was only in one of each...

[nytemare]

42. He was in 1-3 of Star Wars as well.

Good one!

[cheeseit]

44. D'oh! Can't believe I forgot that...

So it's a trilogy of trilogies for the great man.

[leftofthedial]

38. Nikki Knockers

"Big and Busty" I through IX

and

"Clams and Canyons" I through IV

[norml]

40. Leslie Nielsen has been in at least five trilogies.

[nytemare]

43. I love the spoof movies he is in.

Scary Movie 3 as the President, he was funny as hell!
