More in demand than Johnny Depp: this actor has an unusual record, but you’ve probably never heard of him!

Long before ‘The LEGO Movie’, Danish clamp building blocks and pop culture were closely linked: For decades, hits, potential blockbusters and cult favorites have been turned into LEGO sets. And no matter how complex or simple a LEGO set is: for many children and the young at heart, minifigures are the real stars of a LEGO building set.

Introduced in 1978, the little figurines as we know them today not only imitated almost every conceivable profession that could be depicted in a family-friendly form: There are hundreds of minifigures based on film and series characters. So they became a kind of popularity measurement:

After all, stars who star in many successful projects can hardly ignore the fact that their roles undergo a LEGO transformation. Of course, I think of people like Harrison Ford, who created two screen icons along with Indiana Jones and Han Solo – which are of course available as an official LEGO minifigure.

On the same level as Ford are Pedro Pascal, who was recreated as “The Mandalorian” title hero and “Wonder Woman 1984” villain Maxwell Lord, and Chris Hemsworth, whose Marvel hero Thor and “Ghostbusters” sidekick Kevin become the LEGO -family belonging. There are even three roles that have become minifigures Cate Blanchett And Johnny Depp.

Blanchett became a minifigure as the villain from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Thor: Judgment Day and as the elf Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings. Depp, on the other hand, as Captain Jack Sparrow, Tonto from ‘Lone Ranger’ and as Gellert Grindelwald from ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’.

Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson achieved “the double Harrison Ford”

However, having two or three roles in your own CV that are available as LEGO minifigures is a piece of cake: Some stars have already achieved four pieces, including Samuel L Jackson And Chris Pratt.

Their LEGO secret to success: they also get behind the microphone for animated films, which then get the LEGO treatment. Because Jackson can be seen on stage as Mace Windu from the ‘Star Wars’ prequels, as Marvel hero Nick Fury and in his ‘Jurassic Park’ role Ray Arnold – but also as Frozone from ‘The Incredibles’ films . Meanwhile, Pratt parades through the LEGO cosmos as Star-Lord from ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’, Owen Grady from ‘Jurassic World’, Emmet Brickowski from ‘The LEGO Movie’ and Rex Dangervest from ‘The LEGO Movie 2.’

One can talk about that Warwick Davis but just smile tiredly! The Briton, born in 1970, was known as Professor Filius Banning from the ‘Harry Potter“cosmos immortalized in LEGO form – and as four “Star Wars” figures: As Ewok Wicket, Anakin Skywalker’s childhood friend Forest, droid DD-BD and as smuggler Weazel.

The king among LEGO minifigures

But even Warwick Davis can’t compete with the record holder for most roles turned minifigures: that honor goes to Dee Bradley Baker with more than a dozen appearances serving as templates for LEGO minifigures.

These include the flying lemur Momo from “Avatar – The Last Airbender” and the crocodile from “Jake and the Neverland Pirates”, but especially “Star Wars” creations. For example, fan favorites Captain Rex, Commander Cody and Commander Fox from “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. The full list of his LEGO minifigures and all the stars that inspired multiple LEGO minifigures can be found at .

It should come as no surprise that “Star Wars” plays such a big role in this topic: Since its launch in 1999, ‘LEGO Star Wars’ has been one of the most popular themed worlds in the Danish company’s portfolio. More than 910 kits have already been launched – and since the current contract between LEGO and Lucasfilm runs until 2032, the 1,000 barrier will certainly be broken. Maybe with even more minifigures based on series and film roles of Dee Bradley Baker?
