Topical series of films on JoRafCinema - Actors - Part 1

More than two years after releasing an Article about Directors followed on JoRafCinema (which we recently updated with all the new movies from those directors that we reviewed), we finally got to do something similar about Actors. We followed a slightly different approach as we quickly noticed that the Actors we follow are seen in many more movies that the Directors do. Indeed an actor can be in 2-3 movies per year while a director may take 2-3 years to complete a movie. Also Actors seem to be able to remain popular for longer periods of time while directors are at their top for 5-10 movies maximum.
So here below you will find a list of the Actors followed by JoRafCinema classified in decreasing order from the most present to the ones seen nine times on our blog. Note that although we tried to be thorough (and took our sweet time to do so), we may have forgotten some participants on that list especially in the bottom part. You will also note that the title of this Article includes "Part 1" because we have the beginning of a list of Actors with less that nine films on JoRafCinema, or for which we have to do the research, so a Part 2 may be completed some day. Similarly as for the Director's one, we will keep those lists updated with new reviews as they get published.
In the list below for each actor you will find a picture (most extracted from IMDb), his name followed by a small story (not in the short style like we did for the Directors), the list of JoRafCinema posts for movies or series in which he/she played and a list of the most known movies we haven't reviewed yet.

Here are some observations we can make:

• All actors on the list (at least this first Part) are American or from English-speaking countries, because we still watch more than 50% or American movies, and this country does have a cult of Actors more than the others (it is said that in France we have more a cult of Directors).
• Out of 41 Actors listed here 5 are Actresses which shows that women can get to the level of popularity of men, but it is still much less common.
• Our list is pretty biased towards Hollywood big movies so that our general conclusions are to be taken with a grain of salt.
• The most popular Actor on JoRafCinema is by far Samuel L. Jackson. He seems to be everywhere in the movies we like to watch!
• He is followed by Action / Thriller stars which come from our preference for this kind of movies: Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford with respectively 24, 23, and 19 posts. More diversified Actors follow with 18 to 12 posts, then a bulk at 11, 10 and 9.
• The most popular Actress on JoRafCinema is Scarlett Johansson (#6 with 17 movies) partly helped by her presence in the MCU, as for Sam Jackson.
• We have tried not to list Actors that we know almost ONLY for big franchises like the MCU, The Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit, Star Wars, X-men ... but this boosts the presence of Actors we know for other movies as well.
• Some Actors may seem to be missing from that list and some underrepresented simply because we may have seen many of their movies but before the start of this blog in 2012.
• Another way to classify those actors is by the percentage of their movies we have seen, i.e. the ratio between their posts on JoRafCinema and what is announced on IMDb as their acting jobs, although this is not exact because we often review one TV-series season as one post for example. With that classification Arnold Schwarzenegger comes largely first with 35% of his movies reviewed. He is followed by Scarlett Johansson (28%), Tom Cruise (27%), Hugh Jackman (26%), Harrison Ford (24%) and Ryan Goslin (23%). This is usually because those Actors haven't played in stoo many movies, while Sam Jackson comes next (22%) because of a whopping 174 Acting jobs to date in his bucket. This is still far from Sir Christopher Lee's 280 but he is #11 on IMDb's list close to Michael Caine. For the rest we have seen only between 10 and 20% of their movies.

But enough chit-chat, here goes the list.
