[Jimmy the Crow/Raven](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1827306/?ref_=nv_sr_1)(he was billed as both) has 26 IMDB credits (best known as Uncle Billy’s pet in _It’s a Wonderful Life_).

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_the_raven), he had over 1000 roles, which doesn’t seem likely.

[Spivak pronouns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spivak_pronoun), which I consider to be the most elegant set of gender-neutral personal pronouns, though the consensus seems to disagree (I seem to see “ze” and “hir” more often, for some reason).

I don’t know how credits are counted, but My Three Sons had 380 episodes and Tramp was in just about all of them. I know that towards the end of the show’s run a “new Tramp” appeared which as far as I know, was the only other Tramp and I think it was only the last season.

I checked the imdb pages for half a dozen of the Weissmuller Tarzan films, and most of them listed no chimpanzee at all. (Including _Tarzan Triumphs_, which most certainly did have a chimp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldyDb-fWSps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldyDb-fWSps) )

There are apparently two Bart the Bears. The original had 20 acting credits. He passed away in 2000. His cousin Little Bart has 12 acting credits, most recently in 2016.
