When you discover an actor or actress...

How many films does it take you to make up your mind whether you want to add them to your favourites list and see more of their work? I tend to see a minimum of 4 films before I decide.

Yeah I agree 3 or 4 is good for me. When I started liking Christian Bale, after I watched The Dark Knight, I watched The Machinist and American Psycho and was really really impressed with him, and now he is my favorite. Same with Ellen Page, I watched Juno, then Tracy Fragments, and An American Crime and now she is my favorite. So i would say 3 or 4 is good

There have been times where i've felt I could do it in three, but as it's like my personal rule, I wait until i've seen four to be sure.

Could depend on the actor too, with Al Pacino I was impressed within two movies. Hes very impressive

Usually I can tell within 2 movies that I really like an actor. But I like to go rent any movies I can find with them in it once I've decided that, so usually I end up watching 4 or 5 before I add them.

For me it depends more on the performances, rather than the number of roles I've seen them in.
For example, I didn't think much of Benedict Cumberbatch when I first saw him in a small role in Atonement, but years later I caught the first episode of Sherlock and thought he was absolutely brilliant. As good as Robert Downey, Jr. As good as Matt Smith is as The Doctor.
