You're stuck on a desert island, and as part of your setup, you've a big old projector and the filmography of just one actor or actress. You get every film they've been in, but it's feature films only, no TV series or shorts. Voice credits count. You can't watch anything else.
A fun consideration. I find it extremely difficult to choose between quantity and quality, or the balance therein. Someone like Pacino was my first thought because he's been in some of my favourite films, and I'd be gutted not to have them, but I could stack that up against say, Phil Seymour Hoffman (my favourite actor of all time), and just repeat his 30 or so forever and ever.
Maybe James Hong.
Edit - a friend of mine said Hanks is the obvious choice. I don't really like him. [Post edited 27 Sep 2023 15:54]

Denzel Washington is the correct answer |
Richard Gere ist a bad shout
or someone who is often in a supporting role like Tom Wilkinson or Harvey Keitel |  |

Or Samuel L Jackson, covers a very wide variety | | | |

Willem Dafoe has done enough fluffy stuff and serious stuff so you would have enough variation
If you would allow TV series, then David Bradley has been in everything. And you then get Hot Fuzz. |  | | |

I have to agree with your friend. It has to be Tom Hanks. |  | | |

Some great ones already mentioned - I’d add Robert Redford as a decade spanning artist. |  |

Tom Cruise. Laugh if you like. But he's done a lot of great movies. You get classics like Top Gun, Cocktail, A Few Good Men, plus loads of good action movies like MI series. |  |

It's an interesting concept and the temptation is to plump for those actors who have had a number of leading roles.
A slightly different look might perhaps lead you to look at actors who have had both leading and a large number of support roles (is this the "quantity over quality" argument? Perhaps).
So people like John Carradine and Christopher Lee have both appeared in over 200 films. Well and good if you like John Ford or horror I guess.
Looking at it this way might therefore include people like Samuel L Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Anthony Hopkins, Eli Wallach and many more. |  |

Christopher Lee, he was in so many movies you'd have a lifetime of watching them all, plus most of them are half decent, and he was a damn fine actor, or at least good curiosities that reflect various eras of Hollywood/Hammer horror. You get Bond, you get Dracula, Sherlock Holmes,Lord of the Rings, Star Wars | | | |
