How do you find this information easily without clicking on every actor?



There's a plug-in called "Simple Statistics"  that will give this info to you.

Check the plug-in thread here.


THX this is a great plug-in

Oh yes! The regular DVD box plus all the HD DVDs that have been released so far, and even a third "Collector's Edition" of 2001 with a bonus CD.

I have the cast only one time per movie. When I have the same movie two times, the older release has no cast/crew.
When I have same movie in different versions and the cast is not the same, like lord of the rings, then the shorter cut have the normal cast and the longer version only the actors, who played only in the longer version. (I.e. Saruman in LotR: Return of the King SEE).
For me, the statistic makes no sense when every version gets cast. For example I have two Alien box sets (The old Legacy and the Quadrologie). If all profiles have cast, S. Weaver will have 4 movies more.
I summarize the TV-show cast of one season, no matter if I have a season box, half box etc. If I do not do that, Sarah Michelle Gellar will have a count of 13 and David Duchovny of 9, but Duchovny acts in more seasons.
Statistics only make sense when there are uniform rules. The important information for me is the count of movies an actor played in, and not the count of profiles I have with the actor.

Armand: You're correct of course, but I'm not going to delete the cast and crew data from my dupes. I'd rather use a tag to filter them out, but that would take some time to set up...

Meanwhile, I redid my top cast with television genre filtered out:

Johnny Depp 30
Alfred Hitchcock 26
Tom Cruise 23
Willem Dafoe 23
Kirsten Dunst 23
Uma Thurman 22
Sean Connery 21
Claire Danes 21
Ian Holm 21

Christina Ricci 20
Cate Blanchett 19
