Letterbox Breakdown – Keanu Reeves

Studying through the stats on Letterbox, it becomes fascinating to see who has become the most-watched star and whether they should be number one. I am going to be looking through the roles and see if the numbers add up to different roles and importance within the film. Exploring to see who has the most leading roles, supporting roles or just random cameos. Without further ado, let’s explore.
Keanu Reeves – 40 Films
Current Rank – 19th

Different Roles
First, I will look at the number of different roles the actor has portrayed.
Number of different roles – 33
Roles in more than one film – 3
- John Wick – 3
- The Matrix – 4
- Bill & Ted – 3
Roles In Film
Second, I will explore the position in the film the star portrayed.

Leading Roles – 23
Keanu Reeves has made himself an almighty career as a leading action man. Cornerstone franchise of ‘The Matrix’ and ‘John Wick’ have cemented him in the action genre. Keanu hasn’t ever been afraid of taking different roles with the incredibly creative ‘A Scanner Darkly’ being the biggest stand-out for him.
Sadly, with the few great movies, Keanu has done, there are a few bad ones ‘Siberia’, ‘Replicas’ and ‘Exposed’ are the biggest ones to name.

Co-Star – 5
It is rare that Keanu is part of a double act leading a movie. The ‘Bill & Ted’ franchise takes centre stage here, along with the immortal ‘Point Break’.

Supporting Roles – 9
When it comes to the supporting roles Keanu has taken, we find ourselves diving into a few early-career roles, ‘Parenthood’, ‘Dracula’. Or his more villainous roles, ‘Man of Tai Chi’, ‘The Neon Demon’ and ‘The Watcher’. Supporting immensely creative director Ana Lily Amirpour’s ‘The Bad Batch’ is also a huge plus

Cameos – 3
In recent years Keanu has started appearing in more cameo-like roles. The outstanding appearance as himself in ‘Always Be My Maybe’ is the one that you will remember the most.
The Missing Roles
