Quoted from erak:
Harrison Ford
Star wars sonic
Star Wars Data East
Star Wars Trilogy Sega
The Empire Strikes Back Hankin
Indiana Jones. William's
Indiana Jones Stern
But if you go by what movie character appears on the playfield the most times in pins its R2D2. Gotta add SWE1 to the list for him.

So that would make Kenny Baker the winner.

If all the boutique pins / re-themes count we have to add Keanu Reeves to the list:
BSD
JM
Matrix.

Too bad that article is wrong. It says Pamela Anderson is on one pin. Baywatch, and Barb wire. =2.

I thought the WMS Indiana Jones isn't actually Harrison Ford but another actor?

I thought it was Arnold with T2,T3, Predator, Total Recall(proto), LAH...

Harrison Ford looks like he has had a ton as well. You are telling me WMS is not Ford but a look alike? I find the likeness hard to believe scars considered.

To me, there's a few interesting questions that can be asked:

1. Who's likeness has been used interactively the most?
2. Who's recorded custom speech the most often?

The question of "who's been in a movie that a game was made off of" isn't nearly as interesting.

For Q1, everyone's mostly figured out the clear winner, which is Harrison Ford and his 4 appearances where his voice was used (SW, IJ, SWT, IJ4). Did you know there's another actor who's been used 4 times? His name has not even come up in this thread yet. I'll give you some time to think about it.

For Q2, I'm pretty sure there are several 2-timers that I know of for sure: John Rhys-Davies (IJ, LOTR), Arnold (T2, T3... I seriously don't know if he recorded anything for LAH, though obviously movie speech is used in-game), Tim Curry (Shadow and I *believe* Congo). This list gets small quick.

OK, back to Q1. One hint: 2 of his movies are the same as Harrison Ford's. It's tough. You probably don't even remember one of the movies.

It's Alfred Molina. IJ, Maverick(!), SM, IJ4.

X-Men is based on the comics, not the movies though, right? That still leaves him with four, although I don't think he's pictured as Death in LAH, is he?

Edit: He is pictured on the top right of the LAH translite.

Looks like Harrison Ford takes the lead with 5 now that Stern Star Wars is out.

Also no one mentioned Burgess Meredith with
Batman 66 (Penguin)
Twilight Zone (broken glasses guy - Henry Bemis "Time Enough at Last")
Too bad his likeness isn't on Rocky too

Quoted from rai:
Orlando Bloom is in PotC, LOTR and The Hobbit not sure how much he's in The Hobbit pin if any.

We need to add another one for Orlando Bloom with new Potc (would make 4 if he’s in TH don’t know) plus all the duplicates for each Potc Jonny Depp etc..

Isn't Stern currently at work on a "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot" to give Sly the edge?
