This chart was compiled in January 2012 from the current list of films showcasing on otsoNY. Surprisingly, actors such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Heather Graham, Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Garner, Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Alba all missed out on a chart position due to the competition being so strong in regards to the quantity of New York based films each actor had featured in. We start our chart at number 20 with actress Angelina Jolie, who has so far been featured in 6 films.
