Which actor has been in the most movies?

If you're looking for the actor who had the most leading roles in films, Guinness World Records lists John Wayne as tops. The Duke was the leading man in 142 movies.

However, film roles can take many forms, and a voice may be just as important as a face on the screen. The man behind Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig had more movie actor credits to his name than anyone. Mel Blanc performed in 709 films, not including over 100 TV movies and video productions. He also had 81 uncredited voice parts in films.

Right behind Mel Blanc on the IMDB's list of most prolific actors is Adoor Bhasi. Before his death in 1990, Bhasi was featured in 549 films. It's possible that other Indian film actors have been in upwards of 1,000 films, and with Bollywood production steaming along, Bhasi's ranking may be easily surpassed.
