Wes Anderson is notorious for his continuing relationship with actors who feature in his film- many appearing over the vast majority of his feature-length films.
To me, this is a great example of Director- Actor bonding, and the fact that the actors come back time after time, despite peaks and troughs in Wes' cinematic and financial success, must show how truly wonderful he is at his job- a true Auteur director (seen similarly with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's filmic relationship).
The lists below showcase the actors in each of his films, further below highlighting the number of films each each actor has appeared in (in order of highest-lowest).
