Ashok Saraf holds the record for the most wins in the category, having received the award three times. He also leads with the highest number of nominations, with a total of four along with Swapnil Joshi (without ever winning). Several actors have won the award in consecutive years, including Shriram Lagoo (1974–1975), Ashok Saraf (1982–1983), Laxmikant Berde (1984–1985), and Mohan Joshi (1997–1998). Among those with multiple wins, Vikram Gokhale, Sachin Pilgaonkar, and Nana Patekar have each won the award twice.

On the other hand, Ankush Chaudhari has been nominated four times and has won once. Similarly, Yashwant Dutt and Dilip Prabhavalkar were each nominated twice and won once. Mohan Joshi received three nominations and won twice, while Amey Wagh won once out of his three nominations. Jitendra Joshi and Sachin Khedekar have also been nominated three times. Other actors with notable nominations include Ravindra Mankani, Riteish Deshmukh, Subodh Bhave, Bhau Kadam, Lalit Prabhakar, Pranav Raorane, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Adinath Kothare, all of whom have been nominated twice.

Notably, Prasad Oak is the only actor to have been nominated twice for portraying the same role (Anand Dighe), winning on his first nomination. Additionally, Chandrakant Kulkarni, Subodh Bhave, and Adinath Kothare are the only individuals to have received nominations for both Best Actor and Best Director, and all three have gone on to win in the latter category. Mahesh Manjrekar and Prasad Oak are the only personalities to have won in both categories: Best Actor and Best Director.

Furthermore, Mahesh Manjrekar is the only individual to have been nominated in all three major categories—Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor. In terms of national crossover, Amol Palekar and Nana Patekar are the only actors to have won both the Marathi and Hindi Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Laxmikant Berde and Deepak Dobriyal have the distinction of winning the Marathi Filmfare Award and also being nominated for the Hindi (main) Filmfare Awards in other categories. Shriram Lagoo, Riteish Deshmukh, and Mohan Agashe have all been nominated in both languages as well. Sayaji Shinde and Atul Kulkarni hold the rare honor of being nominated for Filmfare Awards across three film industries—Marathi, Hindi, and South Indian cinema.
