Every year, it often seems like there's at least one actor who is in absolutely everything.
In 2011, it was Jessica Chastain (her most popular films being "The Help" and "Zero Dark Thirty"). This year, there are so many actors making us wonder how these people have personal lives, and how they even have the time to eat, sleep, or have more than one project going on at the same time.
These busy people have already appeared in a lot of things this year, will appear in more things in the next six months, and will appear in even more things come 2018 (and, in some cases, 2019). Tom Cruise is just the latest actor — between his new "The Mummy" out June 9, and news of an upcoming "Top Gun" sequel — to make our heads spin.
Here are the busiest actors working in Hollywood right now:

Tom Cruise
Cruise is not an actor who likes to slow down. In addition to his new reboot of "The Mummy," he's confirmed for a "Top Gun" sequel, known as "Top Gun: Maverick," that should be shooting soon. He also has "American Made," a based-on-real-life thriller, in 2017, and you can see him in another "Mission: Impossible" movie soon enough.
Elle Fanning
The 20-year old actress has four movies set to premiere in 2017, and two projects coming in 2018. And two projects without release dates. Fanning had several movies premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, including Sofia Coppola's "The Beguiled" and "How to Talk to Girls at Parties."

Nicole Kidman
One of Kidman's many projects for 2017 is "The Beguiled," with fellow busy lady Elle Fannng. In addition to her critically acclaimed turn in HBO's "Big Little Lies," Kidman will be in the second season of "Top of the Lake," which received great reviews at Cannes. Kidman had two other movies premiere at Cannes in 2017 (including "How to Talk to Girls at Parties" with Elle Fanning), and will be in two movies in 2018. She's also expressed interest in a second season of "Big Little Lies," which she executive produced.
