We all have our favorite actors. Some we remember because of their great performances. But others who’ve appeared in many films are sometimes forgotten or unknown.

Yes those are 2 separate lists. If the title for Deceased actor is not appropriate, I can think of something better.

Well the list isn't about just movies. It is about acting credits and he is too good to not include.

 

I have included the mainstream actors not limited to feature length movies as Karen suggested in the other thread. I could do a different list if there are just too many voice over artists.

I upvoted that idea and I get the point. But, I am afraid it would get difficult to curate that kind of data for this list. Even there is not direct way of getting this information.

Thank you for suggestions. I have redefined the criteria by the year of birth with few new entrants from that list and some existing ones removed.
