Actors who always dies in movies

Leonardo DiCaprio has a penchant for picking doomed movie roles. If his goal is to win an Oscar by acting out a gruesome death scene, he might want to try another approach. He's died in almost all of his movies, but he still hasn't won an Oscar!

Here's a rundown of the films in which Leo has met his demise:

The Quick and the Dead
Total Eclipse
Romeo + Juliet
Titanic
Blood Diamond
The Departed
J. Edgar
Django Unchained
The Great Gatsby

Tim Curry has also had a rough time staying alive throughout his decades-long career in the movie business. He's almost always the bad guy! Just look at this roundup:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Clue
Legend
Congo
The Shadow
Oliver Twist
The Colour of Magic
McHale's Navy
Charlie's Angels
Scary Movie 2

Bruce Willis may be hard to take down in the 'Die Hard' series, but he's met his expiration date in plenty of other films! See for yourself; he's died in all 13 of these movies:

Twelve Monkeys
The Jackal
Armageddon
The Sixth Sense
Hart's War
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Sin City

As we saw with Leonardo DiCaprio, being a major A-lister with a face the ladies love doesn't save you from playing a character that is destined to fall! Johnny Depp is another member of the Many Deaths Club, having kicked the eternal bucket in these 12 movies:'

Platoon
Freddy's Dead
Ed Wood
Dead Man
The Astronaut's Wife
From Hell
The Libertine
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

The Hunt for Red October
Savior
Ronin
Deep Blue Sea
No Good Deed
Dogville
Helen of Troy
King Arthur
Angels & Demons

Now let's talk about Gary Oldman. You've probably seen him around, though you may not have known it was him. He's a master of disguise; he rarely looks the same twice!

He may not repeat looks, but there is one thing that he definitely has done more than once: drop dead in a movie! He's actually succumbed to fate in, count 'em, 12 different films:

The Book of Eli
State of Grace
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Fifth Element
Leon
Air Force One
True Romance
Lost in Space
JFK
Sid and Nancy
Hannibal
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

It's a good thing that death on film doesn't last forever! If that were the case, Robert De Niro would've had to leave the movie business decades ago.

Check out this sampling of his most hazardous career moments:

Bloody Mama
Bang the Drum Slowly
Mean Streets
1900
Brazil
The Mission
Cape Fear

Sometimes, an actor can't help but play roles that will ultimately end in death. Take Gary Busey, for instance. His face is perfect to play the "bad guy" part, so it isn't a total shock that he's passed away on screen so many times since the 1960s.

Here are just some examples of films in which he's croaked:

The Magnificent Seven Ride
Lolly-Madonna XXX
Hex
The Buddy Holly Story
Straight Time
Lethal Weapon
Hider in the House
Predator 2
Point Break
Wild Texas Wind
The Firm
Under Siege
Drop Zone
Surviving the Game
Man with a Gun
Lethal Tender
The Rage
Soldier
The Gingerdead Man

Mickey Rourke is another actor who, like Gary Busey, was built to play the bad guy. Therefore, just like his creepy counterpart, he has died in a lot of movies, too:

A Prayer for the Dying
Rumble Fish
Johnny Handsome
Picture Claire
Iron Man 2
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Sin City
Killshot
Passion Play

Double Team
Francesco

Spun
Man on Fire

Sean Bean, whom you may have watched meet his untimely end in the first season of 'Game of Thrones,' has bit the dust in over 20 movies and TV series throughout his career. Yikes! That's a lot of death.

It would probably be much easier to list the movies he hasn't died in, but what fun would that be? I'll break it down by category, so you guys can really get a taste of Bean's massive death count.

Legendary horror film actor Vincent Price has since passed away in real life, but as an actor, he was no stranger to death. His characters died in over 30 movies between 1939 and 1990, including:

Bela Lugosi, who became famous for playing horror roles just like Vincent Price, appeared in over 100 films in his career. With that many credits to his name, and getting a lot of work in the horror genre, he was bound to rack up quite a list! All in all, he died in at least 36 movies.

If you thought Sean Bean, Vincent Price, and Bela Lugosi's death numbers were high, think again! The true King of Movie Deaths is John Hurt, whose characters have ended up six feet under in at least 40 movies and miniseries since his career began in the 1960s. If you want to know what it's like on the other side, he's probably the man to ask!
