    The undisputed king of actors is John Cazale. His total body of work is:

    • The Deer Hunter
    • The Godfather II
    • The Conversation
    • The Godfather
    • Dog Day Afternoon

    As horrible as this is to say, dieing young really helps the legacy. Also see James Dean.

    When it comes to their entire body of work for Directors no one tops Spielberg for me.

    Alan Parker’s total body of work is pretty incredible:

    • Fame
    • Birdy
    • Mississippi Burning
    • Midnight Express
    • The Commitments
    • Angel Heart

    Mel Brooks is also pretty incredible.

    When it comes to TV shows the king of producers is Norman Leer.

    When it comes to sound track composers entire body of work the tops is John Williams.

      I believe the undisputed king of actors is Daniel Day-Lewis myself.

      Dudes not done an awful number of movies and has so many accolades. Mainly the only actor to win three academy awards.

      Edit: To clarify. The only actor to win three academy awards for best actor.

        Lewis is spectacular this is no argument here,

        Jack Nicholson has three academy awards and 12 nominations.

        Walter Brennan has three academy awards.

        Kathleen Hepburn has four academy awards.

        Keep in mind the OP’s topic. Total body of work. Cazale was only in those five movies. He wasn’t in any other movie.
