If you were to get a box set that contained every media that an actor has ever been in, what would it be?
This box set includes:
- Music
- Movies
- TV shows
- Voice acting
- TV interviews
- Anything else I can't think of

So, for the sake of example, I will use Samuel L. Jackson.
My Samuel L. Jackson box set would include: Afro Samurai, Pulp Fiction, The Incredibles, and many more movies and other media.

So fellow Escapists, think long and hard about what your box set you want!

Johnny Yong Bosch.

I don't have an exact list of everything he's in, but I don't care. It's Johnny Yong Bosch, anything he's in is gold.

I think my box set would be Will Smith.
I love just about everything he is in, and his stuff would be so diverse: I Am Legend, Hancock, Men In Black, Fresh Prince, etc.

An Ian McKellen box set would also be super badass, since everything he is in is just very good.
I'd get all of LotR, the LotR games, Stardust, X-Men movies, etc.

He's the voice of Kaneda?
Wow /respect :eek:

I thought about voice actors, but I usually watch subs, and its hard to nail down one that is in enough anime that I watch, so /shrug

Man I'd get an Ellen Page box set.
That wouldn't be that many movies, but I love pretty much all of her stuff.

Loliunno, Tom Hanks or something?
Well you'd get all of Toy Story and many other great movies. I like Tom Hanks, and I like most of his movies, but he's not a "HOLY SHIT HE'S IN THAT MOVIE?!?!?! I NEED TO OWN IT RIGHT NOW!!!" actor for me.

Quentin Tarantino, I'm gonna add him because he makes the best movies and plays in them. So that count's right?

Though, if games count as media, Jennifer Hale

Me neither, it just happens that I enjoy most of the movies he's been in so I'm getting the most bang for my hypothetical buck.

Id go for Jennifer Hale just for the sheer mass of stuff that shes been in; anime/game/film/tv show wise.

Would the will smith set include his music!?

Not that I'm a long time fan...

A Bruce campbell box set would be essential stuff.

Mel Brooks, please and thank you?

I mean, really. History of the World Part 1, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, The Producers... the list goes on and on. I would be content.

Elvis? Does he count as an actor?

I imagine that his stuff would net you a lot of nice collectables...

Bill Hicks.

I don't ask for much, really. But what I do ask for is quality awesomeness. Besides, I already have George Carlin's "All My Stuff".

EDIT: Just saw that you asked for an actor. In that case...I'd still want Bill Hicks' stuff.

I'd like to keep it to just actors, but I suppose musicians could be thrown into this as well.
I want to avoid turning this into a "have a box set of everything has done", and keep it more about what they've done with the media.

John Stewart? Does he count?

If not then Damian Lewis. British accents are cool.

...Still would prefer John Stewart but what ever.
