Ha. Just thought Tim’s posts early in the thread were quite neat and informational.
I knew Chris Pratt’s characters, and that you were counting KK’s appearance in The Movie Which Must Not Be Named as Amidala’s stunt double [incidentally, pretty sure it’s Keira – e before i except when one is following silly rhymes.] Didn’t know HBC was Red Harrington (know the name of the character only because I have oh so many of them in my BL inventory… keep meaning to go back and switch the minifigs to parts instead of whole, because nobody’s buying those characters.)
Rufus Scrimgeour does not come up on Bricklink, so I think Nighy’s out.
Interesting thought: has to be an actual, made of ABS minifig, right? Video games don’t count? Because if we’re counting the comic book style Magneto as McKellen, I feel like there are a few others who’d get on the list, like Chris Evans (Cap’n ‘Murica, Human Torch)
Standings:
Alfred Molina – Doctor Octopus; Satipo (Indiana Jones); Sheik Amar (Prince of Persia)
Johnny Depp – Captain Jack Sparrow; Tonto
Harrison Ford – Han Solo; Indiana Jones
Orlando Bloom – Legolas; Will Turner (PoTC)
Christopher Lee – Count Dooku; Saruman
Chris Pratt – Emmet; Starlord
Helena Bonham Carter – Bellatrix Lestrange; Red Harrington
Hugo Weaving – Elrond; Red Skull**
Ian McKellen – Gandalf; Magneto*
Keira Knightley – Elizabeth Swann; Amidala Double*
Any others?
Man, I gotta remember to use this as a trivia question (with folks outside these forums, anyway). Can’t imagine anyone would get Alfred Molina as the real life human with the most minifigs (of unique characters, anyway… not counting the eleventeen Bilbos and thirty-twelve Harry Potter variations…)
* – Somewhat questionable
** – (That counts, right? I honestly wasn’t sure if that set was a movie tie-in with Captain America, or based off the comics. Also, OH MAN V FOR VENDETTA MOC! Which would get Natalie Portman on this list, too)
