If that thread title sounds Cameronite, believe me it really isn't intended, it's actually meant to centre on the subject of certain people who have amassed a prolific and jaw-dropping mountain of work in the arena of film and television either in front of, or behind the camera.
Christopher Lee, for example, probably still has some old films in his rep that no-one has seen or even known they exist.
Jerry Goldsmith passed over a decade ago, yet leaves behind over 250 scores for film and television movies and shows, not even counting the work for 1950's radio before he got into the business. He was so forgetful of his prolificness that he watched an old movie on TV one night and became impressed by the work of the composer, forgetting (and coming to realise) that he had actually scored it himself.
Ennio Morricone is still giving it a go and his filmography must be monolithic in number. He was known for recording cues for one movie one morning, then having lunch before scarpering over to another recording studio in the afternoon on the same day to record more music for a totally different film.
Frank Weller, voice artist on animated cartoons and the voice of Fred in the original Scooby Doo cartoons, must have one hell of a CV. Not only has he provided voices for gazillions of animated films and television shows, he also provides vocal effects too. Very rarely do you see animated productions where his name isn't tucked away low on the voice cast list.
