14 set of actors who have worked on multiple movies together (With Pictures)

12. John Wayne and Ward Bond

For three decades, John Wayne was an American icon, and one of the top box office draws. He was the prototypical masculine man: rugged, calm, tall, and gritty. He became a mainstream star after his career took off in John Ford’s Stagecoach, and would go on to star in 142 films. He was best known for his Westerns, having played a cowboy in 83 of his films.

Wayne had frequent collaborators – a team of actors who would star alongside him – because directors knew the recipe for success was to have the Duke star alongside familiar faces. He appeared with Bruce Cabot in 11 films, with Paul Fix in 18 films, and with his most frequent collaborator, Ward Bond, in 22 films and two TV shows.
