[OT]: Most Credits IMDB

Sometimes I get bored and look up dumb stuff

I was thinking about which actor has the most credits on the Internet Movie Data Base

My game, my rules so I filtered out certain categories

(Porn: Tom Byron, almost 2000 credits, Nina Hartley)
(Gameshows: Alex Trebek, Vanna White, Johnny Gilbert over 7000)
(Voice work: Mel Blanc)
(Primarily International Actors - some Indian actors with over 1000 credits)
(Bess Flowers: Queen of Extras, no not that kind, old films, often uncredited, in the early days of Hollywood shorts)

Among main stream actors you’ve likely heard of
Eric Roberts is surprisingly near the top - over 500 credits
Ed Asner has over 400 credits
Richard Riehle - near the top over 400. A name you probably never heard of but you’ve seen him. Credits range from Two and Half Men and Mom to Casino
