In feature films, John Wayne has played twelve different characters whose names appear in the title of the movie. We have Randy Rides Alone, Big Jim McLain, Hondo, Donovan's Reef, McLintock!, The Sons of Katie Elder, Chisum, Big Jake, Cahill U.S. Marshall, McQ, Brannigan, Rooster Cogburn.
Does any film performer surpass or even equal that? Or does The Duke hold the record?

It might be cheating but if you take the Jungle Jim films with the name in the title and add them to the Tarzan films, Johnny Weissmuller edges into the lead with 15.
Ah, my mind managed to miss "different".

Does it count if they have different names, but most are essentially the same character?

Ah, my mind managed to miss "different". And Johnny Weissmuller is exactly who I thought of when I took care to include that critical word "different". |

Meryl Streep has seven, including a telemovie. Well, we are NOT including telemovies. It's theatrical feature films or fuggetaboutit buster! (Oh, and Vanessa Redgrave has an impressive tally. But still not up to Wayne's) |

Meryl Streep has seven, including a telemovie. Tom Hanks and Cate Blanchett have a lot as well. Not 12 though. |
