If you want to try doing this in reverse, this one is a bit more challenging:

Recurring Roles by Actor

Or try the original, which is more comprehensive and even more of a challenge:

Actors Who Have Played the Same Role More than 7 Times

Or try this one. Just because:

Got to Wolverine and drew a blank. It was Hugh.... something. Laurie? Grant? What was his last name...

Hugh Laurie and Hugh Grant would both make interesting Wolverines.

and for a while I always remembered his name from some crass Internet review of the movie Swordfish that included a screen cap of Halle Berry topless along with the caption, "Hugh Jack, man?"

and more recently following his massive bulking up for The Wolverine and Days of Future Past the Internet has taken to calling him "Huge Jacked Man"

These are also in a similar vein and might be fun for some:

Sorry. QM redid the answers with regex editing that allows a lot of different spelling combinations when he elected to put this on the front page, but it can be hard to anticipate every possible spelling mistake that people will make.

Dearest Quizmaster, might I request the misspelling of Dench that includes an "s", i.e. Densch? It looked normal to me, although on further reflection, that may not have been the best argument to lead with.

I know it specifies the years, but, Tom Holland is now tied with Tobey Maguire for Spider Man portrayals; if he is Spider Man in another movie, he will have surpassed Tobey Maguire.

Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man Homecoming, Avengers Infinity War... and they already have a Homecoming sequel in the works and unless they leave him as mulch I'm guessing Holland will return for Avengers 4, so, yes, he will surpass Maguire.

But also, yes, the quiz does specify the years.

Another key part of the description is "overexposed", which I am guessing is Kal's curmudgeonly way of saying "iconic". As of the date of this writing, I'd say Maguire still has the upper hand as the more iconic Spider-Man, but just baaaarrrely. After Avengers 4 and Spider-Man: Far a From Home, I'm guessing Tom Holland will inherit that mantle, at which point it would make sense for Kal to change the question. Just my $.02.

Great quiz! but some numbers need to be updated on this one:

- C3PO has been played by the same actor in 9 movies, ending in 2019

- M has been played by the same actress in 8 movies, ending in 2015 (uncredited video cameo in SPECTRE)

- Nick Fury has been played by the same actor in 11 movies, ending in 2019

- Iron Man has been played by the same actor 10 times, ending in 2019

- Rambo's number of appearances is right, but his last one was in 2019, not 2015

Again, thanks for another great quiz!
