Quote:
I know, most of these are TV actors. But the filtering didn't work, since the TV shows have more than TV as a genre.

To filer out the Television Genre you have to click the check box twice to make it blank, that will equal a NOT filter.

Thanks

Last I checked mine was Christopher Lee with 80-some appearances.  Boris Karloff was not far behind, with I think 72.

That's not counting TV, though.  Once all the Dark Shadows discs get profiled, I fully expect Joan Bennett to be the winner.
