    None for English-language films.

    But for the Japanese list? Dear god. Here goes...
    In alphabetical order for sanity's sake:

    Anne Suzuki - 9 Souls, Hanging Garden, Helter Skelter, Hana and Alice
    Arata - Ping Pong, A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth, Like Father Like Son
    Eita - 9 Souls, Go, Hanging Garden, Memories of Matsuko
    Hirofumi Arai - Go, Blue Spring, Sway, Confessions, Villon's Wife, Kanikosen, Helter Skelter
    Joe Odagiri - Sway, Bright Future, Retribution, The World of Kanako, The Great Passage
    Koji Yakusho - Retribution, The World of Kanako, Cure
    Kou Shibasaki - Go, Memories of Matsuko
    Masaharu Fukuyama - Like Father Like Son, Departures
    Masahiro Motoki - Departures, The Bird People in China, Rampo
    Masanobu Ando - 69, Kids Return
    Masato Ibu - Gohatto, Sway, Departures
    Mikako Ichikawa - Be With You, Memories of Matsuko
    Miki Nakatani - Memories of Matsuko, Confessions, The World of Kanako
    Ren Ohsugi - Go, A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth, Cure
    Ryo Kase - 69, Bright Future, Nobody Knows
    Ryuhei Matsuda - Gohatto, 9 Souls, Blue Spring, A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth, All About Lily Chou-Chou, Kanikosen, The Great Passage - painful because I can't stand this actor.
    Satoshi Tsumabuki - Blue Spring, 69, Villon's Wife, The World of Kanako
    Shido Nakamura - Go, Ping Pong, Be With You
    Sosuke Takaoka - Go, Blue Spring
    Tadanobu Asano - Gohatto, Bright Future, Villon's Wife, Hana
    Takao Osawa - All About Lily Chou-Chou, A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth, Hana and Alice
    Taro Yamamoto - Go, All About Lily Chou-Chou
    Teruyuki Kagawa - Sway, Memories of Matsuko, Hana, Rampo

    Yosuke Kubozuka - Go, Ping Pong, Helter Skelter
    You - Be With You, Nobody Knows
    Yu Aoi - Hana and Alice, All About Lily Chou-Chou

    Almost half of that list appeared in Battle Royale and/or Ichi the Killer. Jun Kunimura appeared in all listed films.

    I hope you can see why I can't be bothered to do the same for the top-20 lists of South Korean and Hong Kong films. Yup, those are equally incestuous.

    I was going to say you were wrong until I re-checked the list. Turned out I was looking at the wrong list. It was the top-50 list I used. *facepalm* All that effort.

    Thanks for spotting my mistake. And please remind me not to post anything like that so late at night again.
