What Hollywood actor/actress has died the most times in feature-length films?

Leo DiCaprio dies in just about every movie he's in.

Jackson not only survived PF, he obtained possession of whatever the priceless, cool stuff in the brief case was.

Travolta was wasted by Bruce Willis, in Willis' apartment, after walking into the kitchen after taking a dump.

I always thought the default answer was Sean Bean.

Patriot Games, GoldenEye, Lord of the Rings, The Island. And Game of Thrones, of course, though that's not a film. Probably others too but I didn't scroll through his whole filmography.

Is anyone sorta known for being killed in movies? And Kenny from South Park doesn’t count...

Tom Cruise, Edge of Tomorrow

Bill Murray, Groundhog Day

"Oh my God! They killed Kenny!"

Of course. Because the black guy always dies.

I don't really watch much TV and movies these days, but purchased a streaming package to watch World Cup games and am keeping it around for a couple months and have watched entirely too many movies. It's amazing how quickly them always kill off the black guy.

The guy who played Jason Voorhies in the Friday the 13th series.

I was also going to say Sean Bean.

But back in the old days, when guys could be in about six gangster movies each year. some guys must have had some pretty huge death totals.

Since I have never heard of (or never woulda thought of) 1-4, kinda pumped that my guess was so high on the list. Poor Charlize...

10 deaths as Dracula? Isn't Dracula already dead?

I don't think so, they are undead. Zombies are dead.
