Christopher Lee Better Get Busy
I think it was last Christmas, sitting around the computer, that we tried to find an actor who had been in more movies than Christopher Lee, and failed.
I finally found one: Walter Brennan was in 210 films in a 50-year career (including 15 from the silent era), and 10 television roles, for a total of 220 credits. Christopher Lee has a total of 223 credits (from 1948 thru 2006), but they include six computer games and 32 television roles. To match Brennan, he needs to land 25 more film roles.
[Minutes after I posted this, I found another actor who almost has to be the all-time champion: 259 film roles over 40 years. Can you guess who it is? Hint: he was in one of the movies Dr. X lists in his post yesterday, as was his son.]

Hmmm.
Best I could come up with was ~150 for both Fonda and Wayne. Still, I'm not sure what criteria you're using (i.e. including Film & TV & Voice overs?)
Short version: I give. Who is it?
By the way, if you are counting film & TV, I'd say this man is clearly now on my short list of "6 degrees of separation" node points.
