Most portrayed fictional character.

[marwel7]

Who is the fictional character who has been portrayed by the greatest number of actors on film and TV.I think it may be Sherlock Holmes.Wikipedia lists about 50 actors.Does anyone know of any other characters who might qualify.

Hamlet?

[joggerjayne]

(is that just risking an argument about whether Hamlet is a fictional character?)

[B00]

Dracula?

[rowanwitch]

Maybe Jesus? with all the obscure christian movies as well as mainstream,,,and as parts of comedy shows too

[sandyRoe]

I don't know if he was fictional or not but he made a very poor quality cigar.

[sandyRoe]

I meant Hamlet, not Jesus, there ^^^

[bibblebub]

Napoleon

David Copperfield ?

[joggerjayne]

I like the smell of cigars.

rowan dives straight in there, and whaps Jesus into the category of fictional characters.

Hope the Religion and Spirituality crowd don't stumble across this thread !!!

[rowanwitch]

'Holy Smoke ' Batman whats that
Jesus Cigar Robin...

[sandyRoe]

Hitler has featured in a few films too.

[rowanwitch]

[sandyRoe]

But he wasn't fictional. Mores the pity.
