Licensed LEGO themes first emerged in 1999 with Star Wars and Winnie the Pooh and have since yielded hundreds of sets containing thousands of minifigures. Many of these minifigures, be they from a film or television series, are based on a particular actor and this has provoked a great deal of debate regarding which actor has the most minifigures.

This article aims to definitively answer that question.

Before I begin, I should clarify how a minifigure representation of an actor is being defined for the purposes of this article:

A minifigure which directly represents an actor in a film or television series.

A minifigure or character* voiced by an actor in a film or television series.

The minifigure or character must be based directly on a film or television series**.

Multiple minifigures of the same character are not counted, unless they appear in different media.

Acting credits are counted according to IMDB.

* A character includes any conscious being which does not include the two minifigure elements necessary to constitute a minifigure.

** For instance, the Nick Fury minifigure in 76004 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase does not count towards Samuel L. Jackson's total, but the Nick Fury minifigure in 76042 SHIELD Helicarrier does.
