ACTORS/ACTRESSES WITH 10+ APPEARANCES IN FILMS MADE BY HAL ROACH/HAL ROACH STUDIOS |
This is an exclusive list of the elite few actors and actresses who gave 10 or more performances to the films produced by Hal Roach or the Hal Roach Studios between 1916-1948. Numbers on the left in the grey boxes are the position; numbers in yellow under each actor's name is number of films they appeared in for Hal Roach. Each actor has its link to their own page on the site (click the underlined name). Some of the actors on this list (in particular Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy and Charley Chase) appeared in foreign-language versions of films they had already made with the studio. As these films were released separately, with different titles, and often with exclusive footage which was shot for the foreign version it is fair that these films are counted as EXTRA credits. There are a few occasions where an actor or actress was borderline child/young adult (Sue O'Neil, Martha Sleeper are points in question); with these entries I have exercised personal discretion in categorising them accordingly with their color chart for the list. Where two or more actors share the same number of credits they are listed in alphabetical order according to surname. It should be noted that these figures are subject to change due to me constantly finding actors in films along the way (especially with the likes of Jack Hill, Clara Guiol, the Brandenburg brothers, Ham Kinsey, Jack O'Brien to name but a few who often pop up in the background in films). |
