Which actor has died the most on screen? (spoilers)

I was kind of morbidly curious if there is a specific actor in Hollywood that has died in roles (for whatever reason) more than others. I thought it might be an interesting thing to see what others can come up with.The only ones I could think of is Mads Mikkelsen has died 3 times in roles. Casino Royale, Rogue One and I know there was another.Al Pacino has died at least 3x. Scarface, Carlito’s Way, Godfather 3.

Who else dies a lot?

How many times has someone like Robert Davi, who plays a lot of villains, been killed?

Wasn't Basil Rathbone the most killed actor in Hollywood for a long while?

According to that list Christopher Lee died 70 times versus Sean Bean's 25 deaths.

Meagan Good has died in every Horror movie she's appeared in. Guess it's in her contract.
