Similarly, there's the example of Angela Bassett, who films 18 episodes of the 911 series every year (though some seasons have 10 to 14 episodes), makes a lot of movies every year, and even appears in a few seasons of American Horror Story. They somehow manage to fit in a filming schedule. Of course, the fact that 911 season filming lasts 4 to 6 months a year also makes things easier. (If a season of 911 has 10 or 14 episodes, they film for 4 months between September and December; if it has 18 episodes, filming starts in July and finishes in December.)
