Aaaargh....!

Pub quiz question the other week - which film actor has died the most times in their movies?  Our team decided that the answer would most probably be someone who had made his name playing "baddies" in horror films - and Vincent Price was the name which sprang to mind. Wrong - but good guess apparently.  Price holds third place, but is beaten by another horror film actor of a previous generation - Bela Lugosi. Both of them however have to give way to John Hurt who has apparently "died" no less than 40 times in his films.
