A few years back I posted how Harrison Ford (Han Solo and Indy Jones) and Alfred Molina ( Dr Oc and Satipo) had two minis, the list has grown with Licenses.

Johnny Depp- Jack Sparrow and Tanto

Ian McKellin- Magneto(he's flesh so it has to be him) and Gandalf

Orlando Bloom -Will Turner and Legolas

Gary Oldman- Sirius Black and Commissioner Gordon

Samuel L Jackson - Mace and Nick Fury

Can you think of any more?

Warwick Davis has a few characters turned into minifigs doesn't he?

Professor Flit (any number of HP sets)

The Goblin Griphook (newer 10217 Diagon Alley set)

Generic Gobln from Sorcerors Stone (may or may not be the later named Griphook) 4717 Gringotts Bank

Wicket the Ewok (Battle of Endor)

Waid (Anakins Rhodian friend on Tatooine) (7862 Anakin and Sebulba's Podracers)

I think at 5 known figs (with some actual variants) Mr. Davis is the man to beat.

We discussed this on the Norwegian Brikkelauget forum a while back, and somebody suggested Michael Schumacher. But I don't think there was more than one minifigure modelled after him, it was just the same figure in several sets.

I suspect, though, that Helena Bonham Carter will be joining the list soon. She's Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter sets, and plays Red in Lone Ranger - which is bound to be a character that turns up in a set, probably the red-haired woman in the mail coach.

Not sure you can count anything from the Spider-Man or X-Men sets as those are specifically specified by TLG to be cartoon/comic based and not movie based (since TLG has no license for the X-Men or Spiderman movies)

Not sure any of the DC Super Heroes figs count either since they aren't specified as being movie figs, just comic book figs.

For Nick Fury I think it still counts since his cartoon design is based off of Samuel L. Jackson.

However I don't think Magneto counts in Ian Mckellin's favor since the X-men sets aren't based on the movies.

Actually Doc Ock's Hideout (4856), produced in 2004, was very specifically from the movie featuring Alfred Molina as LEGO did have the licence for that series of Spiderman movies. If you watch the movie you will see they modeled the set on the movie set and in doing so produced my favorite windows of all time in LEGO. :)

I agree. The early Spider-Man figures would count, but the new wouldn't since it is based on the cartoon.

I would say Nick Fury counts due to the IP. I would say Magneto unfortunately doesn't count. And as far as Warwick Davis, I'd be hesitant to say a lot of those figures count because the HP sets didn't name him specifically after Griphook, only Goblin. Yes you can assume he is Griphook, but he could also be a generic goblin working at the bank.

I'm not sure I'd count Samuel L. Jackson (as much as I'd like to) since the only Nick Fury fig is from Ultimate Spider-Man - and though the look of the character is inspired by Jackson, he's not actually voiced by him. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we get a Fury fig in a MCU-based set though.

With iron man 3 we get the wonderful Sir Ben Kingsley joining the legendary pantheon of Greats, as The Mandarin and Arch-Grand-Vizier-with-evil-goatee Nizam.

:classic:

I agree completely. Unlike Mace Windu, who IS Jacksn, Fury minifig is not. Same for Magneto. Just because the figs are flesh does not automatically make them the actors, all Licensed themes are flesh. And Ryan Reynolds is not Deadpool. The movie version is an abomination of what Deadpool really is.

Samuel L Jackson has another Minifig with then news today about new Jurassic Park buildable T Rex  with his character from that movie.  Also, related, Jeff Goldblum has two now, Game Master from Thor Ragnorak and His Jurassic Ian Malcolm, but been out a while now.  Chris Pratt has 2, argueable 3 mini's modeled after him now.  

The list keeps growing...
