Actors that have been in more than one movie trilogy.....
I was thinking about this the other day, and I was trying to come up with a few.
So far I've got:
Harrison Ford (3 Star Wars flicks and 3 Indiana Jones flicks*)
Close, but no cigar:
Patrick Stewart (4 Star Trek:TNG flicks and 2 X-men flicks)
Ian McKellen (3 LOTR flicks and 2 X-men flicks
John Rhys-Davies (3 LOTR flicks and 2 Indiana Jones flicks)
Christopher Lee (3 LOTR flicks and 2 Star Wars flicks)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (3 Terminator flicks and 2 Conan flicks)
Leslie Nielsen (3 Naked Gun flicks and 2 Airplane flicks**)
Michael J. Fox (3 BTTF flicks and 2 Stuart Little flicks)
Keanu Reeves (3 Matrix flicks and 2 Bill & Ted flicks)
Bruce Campbell (3 Evil Dead flicks and 2 Spiderman flicks)
Bruce Willis (3 Die Hard flicks and 2 Whole Nine Yards flicks)
Sigourney Weaver (4 Alien flicks and 2 GhostBuster flicks)
Mike Myers (3 Austin Powers flicks, 2 Wayne's World flicks and 2 Shrek flicks)
*Almost gets a triple award for the Clancy Jack Ryan flicks.
**I know in Airplane II, it was archive footage of him, and it was uncredited, but he was still in the movie.
I know there have to be more actors that have been in more than one movie trilogy than just Harrison Ford. Probably a bunch of actors before my time.

Chris Lee was in 7 Dracula flicks.
Shouldn't it count if the actor was in a trilogy even if he wasn't in all 3 films? He still has appeared in a trilogy.

The following five were close:
Emilio Estevez - 3 Might Ducks Movies and 2 Young Guns
Eugene Levy - American Pie Trilogy, Father of the Bride I and II
Joe Pesci - Lethal Weapon 2-4, Home Alone 1 and 2
Pat Morita - Karate Kid Quadrilogy, Bloodsport II and III
Christopher Lloyd - Back to the Future Trilogy, Addams Family I and II
But I think the next best shot at getting to two trilogies is Eddie Murphy
Beverly Hill Cop I, II, and III
48 Hours and Another 48 Hours
The Nutty Professor I and II
Dr. Dolittle I and II
Shrek I and (II coming out in 2004)
The following made two trilogies:
Marc McClure - Back the the Future Trilogy, Superman I-IV
Emilio Estevez - 3 Might Ducks Movies and 2 Young Guns
Eugene Levy - American Pie Trilogy, Father of the Bride I and II
Joe Pesci - Lethal Weapon 2-4, Home Alone 1 and 2

James Earl Jones
Star Wars Trilogy (Darth Vader)
Jack Ryan Trilogy (Admiral Greer)
Star Wars is pushing it because he was a voice actor... but the presence from his booming voice was definitely felt. Seriously, does anyone even care who was in the Vader suit?

Right. I think this is what makes this thread a pain in the ass. Def, you need to forget about limiting this to trilogies.

Maybe the AZ sun confused Def and he didn't know what he really wanted to ask?

For all those examples, then by his reasoning Harrison Ford should definitely get his "triple star" award since he appeared in 2 Clancy movies.
