Who are you?

What do Robert Redford (The Sundance Kid), George C. Scott (Patton), Paul leMat (Dude from American Graphitti), Christopher Lambert (The Highlander), and Martin Lawrence (One of the "Bad Boys") have in common?

There is a series of books by the noted crime author Donald Westlake, featuring a thief named John Dortmunder. Some of them have been made into movies. Dortmunder, or the character based on Dortmunder, has been played by each of these guys.

So, the current score is five Dortmunders, seven or so James Bonds, at least five Supermans (Supermen?), five Bats, a couple of Obi-wans, 3 or 4 guys playing Darth Vader at once, 48 Sherlock Holmeses and 734 Draculas.
