As we here at Franchise Me continue on our never ending journey to find the ultimate movie franchise, we have done our best to collect a list of every actor that has appeared in two or more of the series that we have covered so far. While some of the names on this list may be big stars and recognizable faces, we thought it was also important to highlight some of the lesser known actors who have popped up throughout as well.
