Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
Personally I loved Bored To Death, but I don't consider it a hit. It lasted three seasons though so it's not like a bomb or anything. And Curb is certainly a classic TV show and had Dansen in almost every episode on the season where they opened a restaurant together. I think that counts as more than a cameo certainly.

I think Jason O'Mara puts Kyle Bornheimer to shame.

McDermott is the lead of the new CBS show Hostages, which I'm pretty certain will do well. It's taking H50's old timeslot.

Eleven years and no mention of Larry Hagman?!
If not in terms of numbers, then years. Plus he was still in the new Dallas.

Looking at my response from 12 years ago is kinda freaky. Pretty sure I was still a virgin.
Thanks Will!

You forgot Raising the Bar for Mark Paul. Although lasting 2 seasons doesn't really mean its a "hit"

Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
Good thread to bump.
Also since this thread is a decade old, Ted Danson can add CSI to Cheers and Becker for a triple.
A few more actors have been added to the doubles club in the last decade:
David Caruso - CSI: Miami, NYPD: Blue
Bryan Cranston - Malcom in the Middle, Breaking Bad
Terri Hatcher - Lois & Clark, Desperate Housewives
On a smaller scale:
Joshua Jackson - Dawson's Creek & Fringe
Adam Baldwin - Firefly (cult hit) & Chuck
Sarah Chalke - Rosanne, Scrubs
Mayim Bialik - Blossom, Big Bang Theory
IT WILL HAVE TO BE WILL
THE GUY STARRED IN A BUNCH OF HITS
LW show
The Barr's
Teddy World
Toys world
Rolles
Boy who have his apartment
Shocker
Super Teens
Shantel
Willy World
Will gadget boy
ALLL WERE FUNNY AND FILED WITH ACTION, IF ONLY HE COULD GET MORE RESPECT AND CREDIT.....THE GUY'S A LIVING LEGEND WITH 11 SHOWSSSSS 11
Then you have pretty much the entire cast of Lost:
Matthew Fox - Party of Five
Daniel Dae Kim - Hawaii Five-0
Harold Perrineau - Oz
Terry O Quinn - Millenium, Hawaii Five-0, Alias
Micahel Emmerson - Person of Interest

Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
Don't think Tony Shaloub has been mentioned for Wings and Monk
Lucille Ball had 2 additional fairly long running shows in addition to I Love Lucy (Here's Lucy, The Lucy Show)
Lee Majors Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy
Pernell Roberts (Bonanza, Trapper John)
Harry Roberts (MASH Dragnet)
Jack Klugman (odd Couple, Quincy)
David Boreanaz (Buffy, Angel, Bones)
