so guest appearances and duds don't count
|
Kelsey Grammer - Cheers and Frasier
Hank Azaria - Simpsons and Mad About You (also guest on Friends) Courtney Cox - Family Ties & Friends Jennifer Aniston - Ferris Bueller & Friends [Edited by huzefa on 05-13-01 at 09:30 AM] |
Not counting folks who've had spinoffs with the same character, the ones I can think of are:
Heather Locklear has had 4 hits. Tony Danza, Tim Busfield, Mark Harmon, Richard Masur, have been on 3 hit series. These folks have been on at least 2: Bob Newhart, Micahel J. Fox, Jimmy Smits, Tyne Daly, Janine Turner, Ted Danson, Kirstie Alley, Ken Olin, plus tons of others I'd bet. |
Kristin Davis - Melrose Place and Sex and the City
Shannon Doherty - Charmed and 90210 Alyssa Milano - Whose the Boss and Charmed not many have more than 2 ! |
Kelsey Grammer also plays in The Simpsons.
|
Here's a few:
<small>David Hasselhoff-Knight Rider, Baywatch, & Young and the Restless (on there from 1975-1982)
Pamela Anderson-Baywatch, Home Improvement, & V.I.P. Don Johnson-Nash Bridges & Miami Vice Christopher McDonald-Family Law & Veronica's Closet Dixie Carter-Family Law, Designing Woman, & Diff'rent Strokes Andy Griffith-Andy Griffith Show & Matlock Don Knotts-Andy Griffith Show & Three's Company Michael Landon-Little House on the Praire, Highway To Heaven, & Bonanza Victor French-Little House on the Praire & Highway To Heaven Carroll O'Connor-In The Heat of the Night, All In The Family, & Archie Bunker's Place (NYPD Blue) Stars Also On: Dennis Franz-Hill Street Blues Rick Schroder-Silver Spoons + Lonesome Dove (mini series) Charlotte Ross-Days of our Lives, Beggars and Choosers, Pauly, Five Mrs. Buchanans, & The Heights Garcelle Beauvais-Jamie Foxx & Models Inc.<font color=white> [Edited by bigjim25 on 05-13-01 at 11:19 PM] |

He was on "Bonanza" from 1959-1973, "Little House on the Prairie" from 1974-1982, and "Highway to Heaven" from 1984-1989. |

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 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 ?
Charlie Sheen (while he's still alive- might not be on the next 10 year thread bump).
|
Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
A "hit" - Nielsen-ratings hit? hit with the critics? a show with two or more seasons under its belt?
Definitely Landon, Cosby and the two Teds - Ted McGinley and Ted Danson (Cheers, Becker, Damages, Bored to Death, CSI ) just to add to all the honorable mentions: Katey Sagal - MwC, Futurama, Sons of Anarchy Swoosie Kurtz - Sisters, Pushing Daisies, Mike & Molly Sela Ward - Sisters, Once & Again, CSI:NY Drew Carey - The Drew Carey Show, Whose Line?, The Price is Right

-ohbfrank- You obviously don't get HBO. He's also a regular on Bored To Death and a recurring character (as himself) on Curb Your Enthusiasm. So that's an even five show, not counting the dud he did with his wife for CBS (called Ink) and his recurring role on Damages.

Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
Some newer additions:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (SNL, Seinfeld, Old Christine, Veep) Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show) William Shatner (Star Trek, TJ Hooker, Boston Legal) Rene Auberjonois (Benson, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Boston Legal) Enrico Colantoni (Just Shoot Me, Veronica Mars, Flashpoint) Betty White (Mary Tyler Moore, Golden Girls, Hot In Cleveland, many others) Rob Lowe (The West Wing, Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Recreation) And one honorable mention, for being the exact opposite of these people. This guy has possibly been in the most shows that have made it to air, but canceled after one season without having a hit: Kyle Bornheimer (Worst Week, Romantically Challenged, Perfect Couples, Family Tools) |
Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
I think Jason O'Mara puts Kyle Bornheimer to shame.
|
Re: Which Actor has Starred in the Most HIT TV SHOWS ?
A few more:
Kyle Chandler - Early Edition, Friday Night Lights Connie Britton - Spin City, FNL, American Horror Story Dylan McDermott - the Practice, AHS |

Forgot about Damages. Is Bored to Death a 'hit?' Never heard of it. And Curb? A bit part that averages out to roughly 2 episodes a year? Seems like a stretch when put up against his other roles.
