Prolific Character Actors, You've watched multiple dramas of
Even if you have watched a handful of dramas, you might have noticed few recurring actors who appear in almost all the dramas you watch. They may not have necessarily played the role of the main lead, but they could have portrayed various memorable and irreplaceable supporting roles. You might have even looked into their filmography for other dramas they were cast, in the confidence that their dramas would be worth the time you spend for it. Who are the actors you have watched multiple dramas of?
NOTE: When you vote, take into consideration that this list is for actors you've seen in several dramas. Do not vote just for the fact that the actor is popular. If the actor that you want to vote for is not on the list, feel free to add the actor to the list. This list is only for male actors.
OPTIONAL: In the comment section, mention which actor's drama have you seen the most and how many dramas of his have you watched?
