Many fans watch movies to distract them from their real lives, with action, adventure and romance engulfing their evening – but what about the actors who play these characters? Viewers particularly revel in misfortune and drama, so TopRatedCasinos.ie were intrigued to discover which top Hollywood actor is cursed with the unluckiest characters!
After scanning hundreds of movies and their scripts to calculate the number of deaths, divorces, injuries, arrests, attacks and accidents, TopRatedCasinos.ie created their own index and can finally reveal who is the unluckiest.
Which actor has the unluckiest characters?
The Hollywood actor with the unluckiest characters is Samuel L. Jackson, scoring a whopping 473 points out of a potential 800! Of all actors analysed, TopRatedCasinos.ie found that Samuel L. Jackson has the highest number movie deaths due to his roles in Goodfellas (1990), Kill Bill: Vol 2 (2004), Django Unchained (2012) and others. In his most successful films, Jackson’s characters mention and meet jail more frequently than any others on the list.
The second unluckiest actor is Robert Downey Jr. as his characters score 431 points in total! His high score can be attributed to his superhero character, Iron Man. Robert’s character in Avengers: End Game means he scores the highest number of points for injuries (100).
Bruce Willis takes the title of third unluckiest Hollywood actor, according to TopRatedCasinos.ie. Scoring 405 points overall, his high unlucky ratings come from the number of injuries sustained and accidents among his five most successful films - largely as a result of his characters in Die Hard and Unbreakable. Additionally, Willis has the second highest number of deaths throughout his discography (27), behind Samuel L. Jackson.
Following in fourth and fifth position are Brad Pitt and Chris Hemsworth with 299 and 293 points respectively. After looking at all of his movies, Brad Pitt’s characters were found to have died 16 times – the fifth highest on the list. Pitt’s highest scores came from the injury factor, with most of his points attributed to Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Methodology: 1. TopRatedCasinos.ie looked at the top 100 stars in leading roles at the US Box Office; this is based on the cumulative domestic box office of all the movies an actor has had a leading role in. Roles in animated movies and other voice-only roles are included.
2. Each actor’s five most successful movies were analysed. The scripts from these movies were then investigated to find the number of mentions for each unlucky factor. The unlucky index includes the number of times someone was jailed, attacked, hurt, divorced, died and involved in an accident in each actor’s movie. Additionally, the unlucky index includes the number of deaths each actor’s characters have experienced across all of their movies, found using Cinemorgue.
3. The number of unlucky factors found within the script were then converted into an index-based point score, using min-max normalisation, with the maximum score being 800.
4. Each actor was then ranked in order of unluckiest characters based on the number of points accumulated.
