I've seen a lot of IMDB files in my time, but this one's ridiculous...

Peter Stormare - IMDb

4-7 big projects per year for many, many years.

Doesn't even seem possible. Crazy!

    Anything is possible in the film and TV industry. If you know something about it, you'll know that:
    Things are never filmed in sequence.
    Locations are not always where they seem to be.
    If a company wants a particular actor, they will try to work around his schedule.

    This actor is a well-known face but I bet not a lot know his name.
    This means he gets lots of work consistently because he's good.

    For example, he's in the Black List currently screening.
    However, they probably filmed it anywhere from 3 months to 2 years ahead.

    I hope this helps.

      Thanks.

      But it doesn't matter in what sequence things happen. There's only so many days in a year. Only so many years in a decade. That's still a lot of projects, overall. All done within a certain period of time. Still an amazing accomplishment, no matter what sequence they were done in!

    That is very true but I was just trying to explain how it can be possible. He can be working on multiple projects at the same time.
    I used to do it a bit when I worked in film, TV and commercials.
    I sometimes did 2 commercials in 1 day. I sometimes went from one shoot to another in one day.

    Well, this guy is very awesome too. Remember, those who are in the performing arts don't always catch their break and once their starlight dimmers, it's hard to get a job too.

    Shia Lebouf with a paperbag on his head? Anyone recalls him? Yeah...

    His agent does all the diary work for him. He just goes where he is told. Might sound odd but the agent does do a lot to make it easier for the actor to do his job.
    The agent makes commission so the more work he can get for his client, the better off he is.

    My introduction to him was as a big time drug dealer on Bad Boys one or two.

    Recently I saw him in the Blacklist as a international bad guy who has a big beef with the star of the show.

    Fantastic actor.

    I think I first remember him from The Big Lebowski, but of course he was making movies before then. Typically, he has very small parts; so that would explain his ability to be in so many TV shows and movies. Someone like Tom Cruise, for instance, will be in less movies simply because of his screen time and how invested he is in organizing the productions, usually directing or coordinating stunts.

    I only remember him from Fargo -- but then I don't really watch too many movies.
    Played a big, dumb, psychopathic killer -- who had no "remorse" lobe in his brain at all.
