The play with the largest cast is Henry VI Part 2 which has 51 parts, not counting extras. Many of these appear in only one or two scenes and so one actor could play three or four parts. Most plays have much smaller casts: Othello has 13 parts plus extras, The Comedy of Errors has 17, The Merry Wives of Windsor 18. These are still formidable casts. If you mean, how many actors over time have played Shakespeare plays at some time in their career, the answer is most of them.

Thomas Pope and George Bryan were older actors who retired from the company later. William Sly, Nicholas Tooley and Richard Cowley were some of the newer actors.
