I'm going back through the Terminator movies this weekend and was reminded that the character of John Connor is constantly recast throughout each new addition to the series. After doing a little research I think he may be the most recast character, if you go by # of Character Appearances / # of Actors Used. He even beats Sherlock Holmes, the character with the most appearances in film, due to several actors portraying Holmes more than once and several actors playing the same John Connor within the same movie/TV show.
Assuming you consider only film and television appearances (all TV series count as one appearance, no video games/stage plays/radio dramas), this is what I came up with:
Sherlock Holmes
Number of Appearances: 212
Number of Actors: 112
Appearances per Actor: 1.893
John Connor
Number of Appearances: 6 (T2, T3, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Terminator: Salvation, Terminator: Genisys, Terminator: Dark Fate)
Number of Actors: 9 (Michael Edwards, Dalton Abbot, Edward Furlong, Nick Stahl, Thomas Dekker, John De Vito, Christian Bale, Jason Clarke, Jude Collie - you could argue against this one, but I don't think it would matter)
Appearances per Actor: .666
Are there any characters that have more actors portraying them at the same rate? The only one I can think of might be Bruce Wayne/Batman given that it's common to portray him in both his childhood and adult years, but still I don't think it would be as often as this.
