Internet movie database (IMDB) will be the best source for checking updated information on subjects like this. The hardest part to finding this type of information is that credited roles do not differentiate between leading and supporting parts. Also, some of the most prolific actors (even in leading roles) have done mostly voice work (animated films)

Some of the actors with the most credited roles include:

John Carradine - 340

Mickey Rooney - 326

Christopher Lee - 274

Dany Trejo - 222

Stephen Tobolowsky - 208

Michael Ironside - 202

Ernest Borgine - 202

Christopher Plummer - 186

Ron Perlman -182

Samuel L. Jackson - 137

Kim Coates - 122

Christopher Walken - 118

If you include voice work:

Mel Blanc - 1035

Frank Welker - 672

Tara Strong -299

Perhaps more relevant is what they have performed in, actors with the most number of leading roles within the top 250 highest rated movies of all time are:

#1 Harrison Ford

#2 Robert DeNiro

#3 James Stewart

#4 Morgan Freeman

#5 Alec Guinness

#6 Brad Pitt

#7 Michael Caine

#8 Clint Eastwood

#9 Elijah Wood

#10 Charles Chaplin

Or if the list is leading roles in the most profitable films:

#1 Tom Hanks

#2 Harrison Ford

#3 Eddie Murphy

#4 Robin Williams

#5 Tom Cruise

#6 Dustin Hoffman

#7 Sean Connery

#8 Morgan Freeman

#9 Clint Eastwood

#10 John Travolta
