He also served in USAAF during WWII, making Colonel. He served in the Air Force Reserves, retiring at Brigadier General; and was promoted by Reagan to Major General after retirement. So he played characters in the Army, Navy and Air Force; and served in the Army and Air Force.
And Glenn Ford played roles as Army, Navy and Air Force. He served as enlisted Marine Corps during WWII and post war as Navy Reserve, retiring as Captain.
Kevin Costner did a (horrible) film as a Coast Guard swimmer (and please note I am not admitting I watched it), so maybe someone (certainly not me) can dredge up some other films he did that might make him “win the thread”.
I’d rather pluck my eyes out with a latch-hook tool.
Charlie Sheen almost makes it: **Platoon **(Army), **Navy SEALS **(Navy) and Hot Shots! (Air Farce). I don’t see much of a chance he’ll ever play a marine, though.
Coast Guard: Yours, Mine and Ours
Army: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (At least I think his character was an Army general. If not, he was an uncredited extra in Stripes.)
Air Force: The Right Stuff
Navy: Innerspace
So all we need is a movie where he played a Marine.
Gordon Cooper served as an enlisted Marine, then was commissioned in the Army, then transferred to the Air Force. So Dennis Quaid might win on a technicality.
Don Terry:
Navy–Don Winslow of the Navy
Coast Guard–Don Winslow of the Coast Guard
Army–Top Sergeant
Canadian Army–Unseen Enemy
In Drums of the Congo, his character is a captain, but imdb doesn’t say what service.
There was no U.S. Air Force when Bud and Lou were at the height of their popularity. But the Air Force was originally the Army Air Corps, and there WAS an Abbott & Costello movie called*** Keep 'Em Flying***, in which they were in the Army Air Corps.
And let us not forget another famous Air Force role, Tarantula.

He used to stack guys like you five feet high in Korea, use you for sandbags.
For the sake of filling out what Bryan Ekers was shooting for, IMDB lists Eastwood as one of the sailors in The Enemy Below, which brings us to Robert Mitchum:
USN: see above. Also, Midway.
Army: The Longest Day.
USMC: Heaven Knows, Mister Allison.
Air Force: The Hunters.
