I was idly musing on the question above, and the answer I came up with was a tie between Johnny Depp (Jack Sparrow & Tonto) and Harrison Ford (Han Solo & Indiana Jones). Obviously I was thinking in terms of distinct characters, not minifig variants (like the many different Harry Potters).

Any other candidates for two or more? :)

I thought Warwick Davis & Alfred Molina had 3 characters each? Or did Warwick have 4?

A few other actors with two figures that i can think of

Ian Mckellan
Christopher Lee
Samuel L Jackson
Orlando Bloom

There are a few actually.

Christifor Lee played both Count Dooku and Sauramon and they both have minifigs (the last 2 versions of the figures even have the same face!)

Gary Oldman also played Sirius Black and Commissioner Gordon.

Ian McKellen was both Gandalf and Magneto.

Samual L. Jackson played Mace Windu and Nick Fury.

A similar thread on Eurobricks pointed out that Alfred Molina played Satipo in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Sheik Amar in Prince of Persia, and Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2.

And they pointed out that Warwick Davis has not only 3, but possibly 4.
He played Wicket in Return of the Jedi, W.Wald in SW EP1, Professor Flitwick and a Goblin Banker in the Harry Potter movies.
While Wicket, Flitwick, and W.Wald all had official minifigs, there was a set that had an un-named goblin banker in it who looks pretty much the same as the banker he was.
I'd call that close enough I think.

Don't forget Watto

I knew there was likely to be some obvious ones that I'd forgotten, and that the winner was likely to be a more obscure actor.

If only there was an official Griphook minifig, Warwick Davis would be clearly in front. The goblin banker isn't named as Griphook, but as you say it is pretty clearly him.

Brickipedia does list Warwick Davis as the actor with the most minifigs.

Watto was CG, wasn't he? Was he voiced by Warwick?

CG. Andy Secombe voiced & played Watto on set for reference too

I think he meant 'Greedo', Anakin's alien friend in Phantom Menance played by Davis. (Who apparently isn't Greedo but another character called W. Wald - but is Greedo to us casual fans)

What the??? Andy?.... No.... It was a big thing in Star Wars geek land coz during the pod race watto and warwick are on screen together, and everyone talked about it coz the voice actor was onscreen with the real actor.... [/reality shattered]

That's just typical. Next you'll be saying they all look exactly the same and are all terrible bounty hunters.
That Rodian stereotyping is just wrong :P

Warwick played both. Weazel (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Weazel)was with Watto during the podrace. W.Wald (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/W._Wald) was friends with Anakin as a kid.
