I haven’t spent much time playing it, but whenever I look up a movie on IMDB, I will inevitably see a character actor who you see all the time, but never know his name.

The idea of this game is to find the ‘other guy/gal’ who has the greatest number of acting credits. My first submission is actor Geoffrey Lewis [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507212/](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507212/) , who at the age of 72, has 204 acting credits listed. Can anyone do better?
