filmed more than 1 movie at a time.

I was just thinking about Michael J Fox.

He was shooting Teen Wolf and BTTF at the same time and somewhere during that time, he also filmed Family Ties Vacation.

So he essentially filmed 3 movies at the same time.

Are there other actors who packed their schedules so tight?

The 1980 Michael Cimino film, Heaven's Gate, is pretty infamous for its many many problems. At one point its delays got so bad that actor John Hurt ("The War Doctor") was able to leave the production, film the entirety of David Lynch's The Elephant Man, and return to Heaven's Gate to finish it without missing a beat.

Steven Spielberg was in principal photograph for Jurassic Park, which had over run it's schedule when he was supposed to start filming Schindler's List. So George Lucas informally took over and completed Jurassic Park as a favor to Steven.

I now notice the thread was about actors. Oops.

Oscar Isaac when he did Annihilation and the Last Jedi

When Sarah Michelle-Gellar was filming the first Scooby-Doo movie in Australia she'd fly back to California on her days off to film Buffy, often going straight from the set Scooby to the airport then straight to the Buffy set, and vice-versa.

Not to mention every sitcom has claimed to have sent tapes to him and every comedian has claimed to phone him..all to lift his spirits during Schindler’s List, so between Jurassic Park, watching Seinfeld and chatting to Robin Williams, not sure how he even had time to direct Schindler’s List.

Jim Carrey in 1994 and Ben Stiller in 2004 surely have had to right?

Henry Cavill of course for the moustache.

I remember reading a long time ago that Val Kilmer did Heat and Batman Forever at the same time, but I don't recall what interview I read, so I could be an unintentional liar.

Chris Farley doing Tommy Boy and SNL at the same time is what lead to the classic Pepper Boy moment.

Adam Driver filmed Girls in New York at the same time as filming The Force Awakens in England.

Not actors, but 'Cast Away' and 'What Lies Beneath' had 100% the exact same crew as Tom Hanks required time to lose the weight in the middle of 'Cast Away' so, in order to keep the crew together, they just made a whole ass additional movie.
