"I'm missing part of this list, but this is taken from a now deleted helpful thread that many posters contributed to.
One of the frequent questions on this board is what actors have been in at least three episodes of each of two movie series (i.e. 3+ episodes of series 1 and 3+ episodes of series 2). Then the question was made more difficult: what actors have been in at least three episodes of each of three movie series.
In this post you'll find the list of the three/three people. The next post down will have the three/two people. And the third post will have those still active actors who are approaching qualification in one of the first two posts.
These lists have been compiled from answers given by the many people who have replied to this question in the past. If I'm missing a qualifying actor, or have made a mistake in these listings, feel free to PM me.
For the sake of these lists, the LotR trilogy is three movies - not one big movie cut into three parts. The two Star Wars series are counted in whichever way most benefits the actors (either as two separate trilogies or as one connected series).
And so, the actors who have been been in three movies of each of three series:

"I'm missing part of this list, but this is taken from a now deleted helpful thread that many posters contributed to.
One of the frequent questions on this board is what actors have been in at least three episodes of each of two movie series (i.e. 3+ episodes of series 1 and 3+ episodes of series 2). Then the question was made more difficult: what actors have been in at least three episodes of each of three movie series.
In this post you'll find the list of the three/three people. The next post down will have the three/two people. And the third post will have those still active actors who are approaching qualification in one of the first two posts.
These lists have been compiled from answers given by the many people who have replied to this question in the past. If I'm missing a qualifying actor, or have made a mistake in these listings, feel free to PM me.
For the sake of these lists, the LotR trilogy is three movies - not one big movie cut into three parts. The two Star Wars series are counted in whichever way most benefits the actors (either as two separate trilogies or as one connected series).
And so, the actors who have been been in three movies of each of three series:
