Go to imdb.com, and try to find the actor you've seen in the most movies. For me, it appears to be Robin Williams (at least I haven't found anyone to beat his total yet). Here are my totals:
Robin Williams: 28/57 = 49.1% Steve Martin: 21/38 = 55.3% Harrison Ford: 18/44 = 40.1% Bill Murray: 17/43 = 39.5% Robert Redford: 16/36 = 44.4% Cary Grant: 16/73 = 21.9% Paul Newman: 13/58 = 22.4%
Steven Spielberg: 17/38 = 44.7% Alfred Hitchcock: 14/67 = 20.9%
The first number is the number of movies I've seen all or most of in which the actor/actress/director is featured. The second is total number of movies they're featured in (not including not-yet-released movies and television shows). The third is obviously the percentage.
So maybe this is only fun for me because I'm a datahead. But if anyone else wants to play, feel free (and I'm looking for more suggestions on actors/actresses/directors I can check).

Any time somebody talks about playing around on IMDB, I always recommend checking James Hong and Frank Welker. For this particular game, I doubt the percentages will turn out very high but it's interesting to look at what they've done. Especially Welker.
James Hong: 8/139 = 5.8% Frank Welker: 22/284 = 7.7%
Of course, with such large lists, my counts might be off a little. Still, though, neither beats my Robin Williams total. (note my Welker total would go up a lot if I included television shows).
