Satan (or The Devil) is a character is more than 840 projects – more than any other character. If you limit the list to mortals, the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes fictional detective Sherlock Holmes as the most portrayed human. More than 75 actors have taken on the role, including Sir Christopher Lee, John Cleese, Charlton Heston, Roger Moore, Robert Downey Jr, Will Farrell, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Yuko Takeuchi (who plays a female version of the character in a new series from HBO Asia and Hulu Japan).
