Is he the actor who has died the most in movies?


It is like he dies in every single movie he is in. Must have the record, no?

Yes

Apparently not. According to an article in The Independent from Feb 2020

1. Danny Trejo 65 on-screen deaths.
2. Christopher Lee 60 on-screen deaths.
3. Lance Henriksen 51 on-screen deaths.
4. Vincent Price 41 deaths on-screen.
5. Dennis Hopper 41 times.
6. Boris Karloff 41 on-screen deaths.
7. John Hurt 39 on-screen deaths.
8. Bela Lugosi 36 on-screen deaths.
9. Tom Sizemore 36 on-screen deaths.
10. Eric Roberts 35 on-screen deaths.

Sean Bean 23 on-screen deaths.

Bean did not even make the top five of the list naming the most likely person to perish in their next film. After all of the living actors’ deaths were cross-referenced with their complete filmography to date, the actor who finished top was Kit Harington.

I thought Christopher Lee would be a good candidate for the top spot.

I think we need to start looking at percentages - like out of all his films, what percentage does he die in? compare that to others

reply

I find it unusual because I've only ever seen two movies where his character has died

reply

I was surprised he managed to survive in a great 2020 sci-fi horror movie I saw recently.

What movie was it?

reply

I like his movie series Sharpe. He's almost murdered in every movie but then he always walks it off.
