If one actor on this list has made it by the sheer volume of roles he's played, it's Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson has starred in over one-hundred-fifty films, which have earned an estimated twenty-seven billion dollars, making him the highest-grossing actor of all time. And he still has time to make those annoying Capital One commercials.
