Not that the movies are obscure but the trivia is. What actor/actress has starred in the most sequels? ---

Do the sequels have to be connected? IOW, can he / she have starred in **The Godfather II** and **Rocky II** , or does he/ she have to have starred in all the Godfather / Rocky movies? If the latter, I vote forDesmond Lewellyn - “Q” from the Bond films. ---

How’s about Christopher Lee? A check of his imdb entry shows these sequels, or probable sequels: Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Police Academy: Mission to Moscow Curse III: Blood Sacrifice Gremlins 2: The New Batch The Return of the Musketeers Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch The Return of Captain Invincible Captain America II: Death Too Soon Return from Witch Mountain Airport '77 The Four Musketeers The Man with the Golden Gun This doesn’t even count his numerous Sherlock Holmes and Dracula movies, though whether those count as sequels is a matter of definition. At the very least, Lee deserves mention for the sheer range of his appearances. He didn’t “star” in most of them, though. Is that an important qualification, that the actor in question has to have played a leading role? ---

Well, Reeder ol’ soul, are you going to lay the answer on us? Or is this just a ciliffhanger? ---

> [@Reeder](#): > > Eddie Murphy. Hmm, consulting the IMDB, I only count 7 sequels. Even if I’m missing some (let’s round up to, say, 10), it still doesn’t come close to several others already listed—unless you define “starred” as “lead billing”, which, even then, makes him a very debatable answer. ---

Since it’s the season, here’s some more obscure Oscar trivia: Who has had more of his films nominated for an Oscar (_any_ Oscar, any category) than any other director? Whose films have accumulated the most Oscar nominations than any other director? Which director has had films win the most Oscars in the following categories: Best Supporting Actress? Best Cinematography? Best Sound? Best Musical Score? Best Documentary? Which director has had the most films nominated (but not necessarily win) in the following categories: Best Actor? Best Cinematography? Best Song? Note that the answers for the 10 questions above will all be different. 10 different directors (some living, some not). How’s _that_ for obscure!
