Cast as a Mask	comment	Sometimes, a character is too easily recognised when they're in disguise. The solution: bringing on a different actor to play the character whenever they're wearing their disguise, to wrong-foot the audience for a while. This often happens when an actor is too famous to disguise their identity from the audience. The solution is to cast someone to be the mask; in other words, through the miracle of Latex Perfection, one character is played by two actors. Alternatively, The Rashomon shows hypothetical reveals of the subject, someone is known only as The Voice before an in-person actor is cast, or there are Alternate Universe counterparts who don't look exactly alike. The hope is that this way the audience won't or can't guess the secret, at least not until you want them to. Contrast Significant Double Casting Warning: This page contains spoilers!

Tanaka's casting is also justified since the Virgo Zodiarts has a feminine appearance. The show pulled the same trick from the start, casting male voice actor Eiji Takemoto to play the Scorpio Zodiarts, disguising the fact that it's actually the protagonists' Sensei-chan homeroom teacher Sarina Sonoda.

"Fingers" reveals he was really Jazz in disguise this time, out for a little payback for Will hustling him.

It's eventually revealed that they're both Sou Fueki Playing Both Sides; unlike Fourze above, Fueki's actor takes over all three roles after the reveal. Plus, given the series, A Wizard Did It could be seen as a perfectly valid explanation for the change.

Cast as a Mask / int_1f9f4419	comment	The Thing (1982) is very subtle about this. In an early scene, the shapeshifting alien is passing as a sled dog and wandering around the base, before going into a room where we see the shadow of a man. It licks the man's hand, presumably infecting him with the alien as well. So whose shadow was it? Director John Carpenter didn't want there to be a single correct answer, so it's actually the shadow of a crew member, chosen because - in silhouette, anyway - he looked kind of like the actors playing Palmer and Norris, two characters who both turn out to be the Thing.

Pretty early on, it's established that Sirrus (Brian Wrench) is still evil and that you'll ultimately have to fight him. While this is technically true, by the time you face off with him he's now disguised as Yeesha and is thus now being played by Yeesha's actress, Juliette Gosselin. It's also notable in that The Reveal is done without the non-mask actor being shown.

Vigilante is voiced by Mick Wingert, who voices no other characters on the show. For bonus points, the most famous comics version of Vigilante is named Adrian Chase. They wanted comic fans to realize Chase was a villain, but pointed them at the wrong villain. Vigilante's true identity is that of Vincent Sobel, Dinah's ex-partner and ex-lover, played by Clayton Chitty in Season Five and Johann Urb in Season Six.

Cast as a Mask / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In "Stark Raving Dad", Leon Kompowski, a mental patient who claims to be Michael Jackson, spends most of the episode voiced by the real Michael Jackson (though for legal reasons he's credited under a pseudonym). Once he drops the act and speaks in his natural voice, he's suddenly voiced by Hank Azaria. Several of the regular actors have so much range and voice so many characters that voicing a disguised characters isn't much of a giveaway: When Otto disguised himself as the State Comptroller in "Lisa Gets an 'A'", Harry Shearer (Otto's regular voice actor) still supplied the fake State Comptroller's voice (the real State Comptroller was voiced by Hank Azaria), but sounded so different it would be essentially impossible to recognize him. In "The Great Money Caper", Grampa Simpson, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, disguises himself by means of a latex mask as a judge, and speaks in a Judge Snyder-esque voice by Harry Shearer. In "Weekend At Burnsie's", a stoned Homer asks Ned Flanders to do a Chief Wiggum impression, and Flanders goes from being voiced by his regular actor Harry Shearer to Hank Azaria speaking in his Wiggum voice (however, Homer says "I said Wiggum" in disappointment). In "The Frying Game", Mrs. Bellamy, the old lady Homer thought he killed, was voiced by Frances Sternhagen, until she revealed herself to be Carmen Electra in a Full-Body Disguise as part of a reality show called "Frame-Up!". In "How I Wet Your Mother", Death/the Grim Reaper appearing in Homer's dream has a gruff masculine voice by Chris Edgerly, but later on "he" unmasks to reveal Mona Simpson, voiced by Glenn Close. Justified in that it's really a dream.

Cast as a Mask / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Pain has six bodies, and all but the female one speak with the voice one of them had when he was alive. Then it turns out, despite what we were initially lead to believe, he is not really in control either, he's just another corpse controlled by another person entirely. When Obito Uchiha pretends to be Madara Uchiha, he is played by the same actor who would voice the later-shown real person. This is as much a deliberate use of this trope as a result of the creators of the anime not knowing that said character was a fake when the part was cast, but makes sense because it's established even the lowest ranking ninja are able to imitate voices flawlessly when using the Shapeshifter Technique (which also fits into this trope). In the Land of Birds filler arc, the main baddie HÅ�ki is voiced by a different actor in his real form separate from the guise he'd been using. Amusingly, this makes a barely subverted instance of The Danza as the guise is voiced by Katsuhisa HÅ�ki and has more screentime. Averted in the English dub that has the same actor voice both forms. The main guest star of the above-mentioned arc, Toki, is voiced by Tomokazu Seki and Johnny Yong Bosch in their respective languages while in disguise as her late brother Sagi. Her true self is voiced by Miki Nagasawa and Laura Bailey, respectively.

From the same series, the Crybaby Clown, voiced by Mark Hamill, is really Baylor Hotner voiced by Matt Lanter. More than any previous series, Mystery Incorporated usually casts different actors as the disguised villains, as the series is more arc-based than previous ones and some identities need to be hidden to keep up the suspense. One exception is when the villains, both in and out of disguise, have the incredibly distinct voices of James Hong and George Takei.

Both roles were in fact played by Shazad Latif, who was only officially credited for the latter role (a series regular); the actor used his late father's name as a pseudonym for the other performance. Ironically, casting someone else as The Mask would have been justified, as the disguise was described as an extremely traumatic physical transformation. As it is, the formula is played with in three ways: the appearance familiar to the audience is itself the disguise, both were played by the same performer, and the actor is actually completely unrecognizable in his other role.

Cast as a Mask / int_3717ea4a	comment	The writers of the DC Animated Universe Batman LOVE this trope. In Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, the titular Phantasm is initially voiced by Stacy Keach, who also plays Carl Beaumont. This is a red herring, however, as the Phantasm turns out to actually be Andrea Beaumont - Carl's daughter - using a voice modulator to sound masculine. She even implies to Bruce that her father is the Phantasm, but Carl was actually Dead All Along. In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, The Joker (Mark Hamill) is actually revealed to be Tim Drake (Dean Stockwell) under some sort of Sci Fi Demonic Possession. To make it more surprising, there is a Red Herring suspect who both looks a lot like the Joker and is also voiced by Mark Hamill. And also in Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, where Kyra Sedgewick voices the titular Batwoman, but none of the suspects for the identity. This turns out to be because ALL of the suspects are the Batwoman, using a voice modulator to sound the same.

When the disguise is revealed, Louie says "Come back, you maniac" while still wearing the Chief O'Hara mask, with the line being spoken by Corey Burton rather than Russi Taylor.

However, he does end the series with transformation cards for all Riders!). What isn't consistent however, is that they also take on the voices of Kamen Rider 1 and Akaranger (as well as Decade copying Rider 1's belt, with the Decadriver only appearing when he reveals himself).

Cast as a Mask / int_5268a4ed	comment	Kamen Rider Build uses this one several times over: The antagonist Blood Stalk's identity is a major point of speculation for the first quarter of the series. It's even expressly mentioned that the Blood Stalk suit has a built-in voice changer to protect the user's identity; since he's actually Soichi Isurugi, the (seemingly) kindly coffee shop owner who's been Build's ally since the very beginning, it's perfectly understandable. However, this ends up subverted later on when it's revealed that Isurugi is possessed by an Ancient Evil from Mars named "Evolt", and the "altered" voice is actually his natural voice, as seen when he possesses people other than Isurugi. (Also, Blood Stalk sounds notably different from the way Night Rogue's voice is very heavily artificially deepened. Stalk's got just a little electronic reverb on a voice that otherwise sounds quite natural... and nothing like Isurugi's. Stalk also keeps using the altered voice after his identity comes out, unlike Rogue, foreshadowing it being the natural voice of Evolt.) The show does it again with Sento Kiryu, the Amnesiac Hero protagonist. In Episode 3 the show introduced Takumi Katsuragi, a brilliant physicist who was connected with the Build Project, making him the obvious answer to Sento's true identity. In order to keep from spoiling the mystery too quickly, Katsuragi was played by an entirely different actor (Yukiaki Kiyama) and is assumed dead when the show begins. A few episodes later they introduced a Red Herring in the form of Taro Sato, a brainless rock musician who's played by Atsuhiro Inukai, Sento's actor. Once Blood Stalk demonstrated that he has the power to alter peoples' faces, the pieces quickly fell into place and fans rightly guessed that he swapped Katsuragi and Sato's faces, with the amnesiac Katsuragi becoming "Sento Kiryu" while Sato was killed and used to frame Second Rider Ryuga Banjo. Even after the reveal, Kiyama stayed with the show until the very end, appearing both in flashbacks and in mental sequences where Sento conversed with his old self to get help on solving the current crisis. In a smaller version, the Monster of the Week Smashes are mindless beasts created as a by-product of the villains' human experimentation. The growls and grunts are provided by common recurring voice actors and sound nothing like the people who play their normal forms, which occasionally serves to hide their identites.

Cavanagh would remain on the show, playing various alternate-universe counterparts of Dr. Wells. In Season Two, Tony Todd and Ryan Handley provide the voice and body respectively for the new masked Big Bad, Zoom, to disguise his true identity as Hunter Zolomon (Teddy Sears), who is posing as Jay Garrick, with the real Jay being the Earth-3 self of Henry Allen (John Wesley Shipp). In Season Three, the same trick is used, with Tobin Bell providing the voice of Doctor Alchemy, who is actually Julian Albert Desmond (Tom Felton). In a rare twist, the voice of the disguise has plot significance: The voice actually belongs to Savitar, who is using Julian (who wasn't even aware that he was Alchemy) as an avatar to serve his purposes. Then it turns out in 3x20 that the voice is still a disguise, and "Savitar" is really an evil future version of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin).

Elsa does not show up as her real life self until quite a while into the story, but her music appears early on and would have tipped things off.

Cast as a Mask / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider does this fairly often. The Monster of the Week is usually voiced by the actor who plays their original human form, but if the Powers That Be want to hide their identities this trope comes into play, sometimes with an in-story explanation. Specific examples include: In Kamen Rider Fourze, to hide the fact that the Virgo Zodiarts and Kamen Rider Meteor's mysterious mentor Tachibana are the same person (former astronaut Kuniteru Emoto), they're played by anime voice actors Rie Tanaka and Nobuyuki Hiyama (who's also the show's narrator) respectively. Tanaka's casting is also justified since the Virgo Zodiarts has a feminine appearance. The show pulled the same trick from the start, casting male voice actor Eiji Takemoto to play the Scorpio Zodiarts, disguising the fact that it's actually the protagonists' Sensei-chan homeroom teacher Sarina Sonoda. A prime example comes in Kamen Rider Wizard, where both the White Wizard and Wiseman were played by voice actors (the latter by Toshio Furukawa) for most of the series in order to hide their true identities. It's eventually revealed that they're both Sou Fueki Playing Both Sides; unlike Fourze above, Fueki's actor takes over all three roles after the reveal. Plus, given the series, A Wizard Did It could be seen as a perfectly valid explanation for the change. Kamen Rider Build uses this one several times over: The antagonist Blood Stalk's identity is a major point of speculation for the first quarter of the series. It's even expressly mentioned that the Blood Stalk suit has a built-in voice changer to protect the user's identity; since he's actually Soichi Isurugi, the (seemingly) kindly coffee shop owner who's been Build's ally since the very beginning, it's perfectly understandable. However, this ends up subverted later on when it's revealed that Isurugi is possessed by an Ancient Evil from Mars named "Evolt", and the "altered" voice is actually his natural voice, as seen when he possesses people other than Isurugi. (Also, Blood Stalk sounds notably different from the way Night Rogue's voice is very heavily artificially deepened. Stalk's got just a little electronic reverb on a voice that otherwise sounds quite natural... and nothing like Isurugi's. Stalk also keeps using the altered voice after his identity comes out, unlike Rogue, foreshadowing it being the natural voice of Evolt.) The show does it again with Sento Kiryu, the Amnesiac Hero protagonist. In Episode 3 the show introduced Takumi Katsuragi, a brilliant physicist who was connected with the Build Project, making him the obvious answer to Sento's true identity. In order to keep from spoiling the mystery too quickly, Katsuragi was played by an entirely different actor (Yukiaki Kiyama) and is assumed dead when the show begins. A few episodes later they introduced a Red Herring in the form of Taro Sato, a brainless rock musician who's played by Atsuhiro Inukai, Sento's actor. Once Blood Stalk demonstrated that he has the power to alter peoples' faces, the pieces quickly fell into place and fans rightly guessed that he swapped Katsuragi and Sato's faces, with the amnesiac Katsuragi becoming "Sento Kiryu" while Sato was killed and used to frame Second Rider Ryuga Banjo. Even after the reveal, Kiyama stayed with the show until the very end, appearing both in flashbacks and in mental sequences where Sento conversed with his old self to get help on solving the current crisis. In a smaller version, the Monster of the Week Smashes are mindless beasts created as a by-product of the villains' human experimentation. The growls and grunts are provided by common recurring voice actors and sound nothing like the people who play their normal forms, which occasionally serves to hide their identites.

Near the end, it turns out that Killer Croc is actually Batman in disguise, despite Croc clearly being played by his regular voice actor up until that point. At the end of "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne" Hugo Strange gloats to Batman about discovering his secret identity as Bruce Wayne, and rubs it in his face that even if he kept his Rogues Gallery from finding the truth out he'll still know and find a way to expose him. Strange immediately shuts up when Bruce Wayne suddenly appears next to Batman and reveals that the two have been working together in a sting operation to catch Strange. After the scientist is carted off to prison, "Bruce's" voice suddenly changes and he pulls his mask off, revealing it was Dick Grayson impersonating Bruce, doubling as a Chekhov's Gunman since Robin hadn't been seen since the first scene. In "Judgment Day", the Judge is voiced by Malachi Throne, concealing the fact that he is a new personality manifested by Two-Face. It doubles as a sly Actor Allusion: Malachi Throne is no stranger to the Batman franchise, having played the Master of Disguise villain False Face in the Adam West series. Well, he's still a false face here!

Cast as a Mask / int_a609791a	comment	Scooby-Doo Usually villains will have their same voice actor, even when in disguise. There were a few exceptions; in the episode "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts", when the female fortune teller (voiced by June Foray) was revealed to be a man named Big Bob Oakley (voiced by John Stephenson). In the "Scooby's Gold Medal Gambit" episode from The New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show, the Master of Disguise The Chameleon disguises himself as Scooby-Doo at one point in the episode, and his disguised voice was provided by Don Messick instead of his regular (currently unknown) voice actor. The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo had a case of this in the episode "Ship of Ghouls", where the ship captain Ferguson was voiced by Robert Ridgely, but his true identity as a ghost was voiced by Richard Erdman. As an effort to be as realistic as possible, What's New, Scooby-Doo? played this straight though, with the voice of nearly every monster (that was credited, anyway) played by someone other than the voice of the person in the costume. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: The Monster of the Week (a vampire) is believed to be Daphne's mom. She even has the same VA, Kath Soucie. From the same series, the Crybaby Clown, voiced by Mark Hamill, is really Baylor Hotner voiced by Matt Lanter. More than any previous series, Mystery Incorporated usually casts different actors as the disguised villains, as the series is more arc-based than previous ones and some identities need to be hidden to keep up the suspense. One exception is when the villains, both in and out of disguise, have the incredibly distinct voices of James Hong and George Takei.

In the series finale, "The Long Goodbye Job", much of the episode is told in flashback: first by Nate, reporting what happened on the job, then by an Interpol agent telling him what she thinks really happened, then the true version. Nate is an Unreliable Narrator, and lied about key details. The police officer in his version, played by another actor, was really Nate himself in disguise. He also claimed Sophie was onstage playing a really awful Lady Macbeth during the break-in; the true version shows Sophie taking part in the con backstage while a different actress plays Lady Macbeth badly, and Sophie plays the part brilliantly at a later performance.

In Season Two, Tony Todd and Ryan Handley provide the voice and body respectively for the new masked Big Bad, Zoom, to disguise his true identity as Hunter Zolomon (Teddy Sears), who is posing as Jay Garrick, with the real Jay being the Earth-3 self of Henry Allen (John Wesley Shipp). In Season Three, the same trick is used, with Tobin Bell providing the voice of Doctor Alchemy, who is actually Julian Albert Desmond (Tom Felton). In a rare twist, the voice of the disguise has plot significance: The voice actually belongs to Savitar, who is using Julian (who wasn't even aware that he was Alchemy) as an avatar to serve his purposes. Then it turns out in 3x20 that the voice is still a disguise, and "Savitar" is really an evil future version of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). Legends of Tomorrow does this in its first season. The heavily armored and masked time-traveling bounty hunter Chronos is played in-costume by Jordan Davis and voiced by Steve Blum to hide the Mid-Season Twist that he's actually Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) captured and brainwashed by the Time Masters. Arrow uses the same dubbing trick in Season Five, casting Michael Dorn to provide the voice of Prometheus, who is actually apparent ally Adrian Chase, birth name Simon Morrison, played by Josh Segarra. Vigilante is voiced by Mick Wingert, who voices no other characters on the show. For bonus points, the most famous comics version of Vigilante is named Adrian Chase. They wanted comic fans to realize Chase was a villain, but pointed them at the wrong villain. Vigilante's true identity is that of Vincent Sobel, Dinah's ex-partner and ex-lover, played by Clayton Chitty in Season Five and Johann Urb in Season Six.

Instead, he's played by Adrien Gibbs. In the serial Remembrance of the Daleks the Renegade Daleks use a young girl as the "imagination" component in their battle computer. When seated in the computer's chair, she is voiced by a Davros-impersonating John Leeson—the chair is very Dalek-like in its appearance, and the voice fooled viewers into thinking that Davros was leading the Renegades. In "Terror of the Autons", a man named Norman Stanley, who is noticeably shorter than Roger Delgado, plays a telephone engineer who is actually the Master in a Latex Perfection mask.

Justified since Comstock is a prematurely aged version of Booker. This is reversed in the Burial at Sea DLC. The player character has Booker's voice, but is actually a version of Comstock. This makes sense as he's prematurely aged somewhat through use of the Lutece device, but not as much as the Comstock from the main game.

Come second season, to increase the mystery about who the girl in Fuutarou's photo in the flashbacks (who look like the quintuplets when they were both young) really is, and Rena's true identity in the present time, both of them are voiced by Kyouka Yuuki, a new seiyuu apart from all the others. As the manga readers know, this trope is fully in effect, with the same aformentioned seiyuu covering two characters' identities: the girl in Fuutarou's photo and Rena are actually different quintuplets, with the former being the true identity of Fuutarou's bride and the latter being under orders of the former to disguise as herself due to her shame of facing him, so this helps keep their identities more concealed from anime viewers while still presenting that pivotal scene with Rena fully voiced.

Cast as a Mask / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls: We twice see Bill Cipher possess someone. The first time (Dipper in "Sock Opera"), the audience knows right away, and so hear Bill's voice when the possessed body spoke. The second time Blendin in "Dipper and Mabel vs the Future", the audience hear the possessed body's voice until Bill reveals himself, maintaining the surprise. In the series finale, Stan and Ford pull a Twin Switch to fool Bill Cipher and, up until Bill sees that he accidentally dealt his way into Stan's mind instead of Ford's, Stan (Alex Hirsch) and Ford (J.K. Simmons) swap voice actors — Stan lampshading to Bill his ability to mimic his brother's voice.

Cast as a Mask / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The first appearance of Commander Sela in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Mind's Eye" had her standing in the shadows, and played by a different actress (although Denise Crosby did provide the voice). Notably, Sela has black hair in this first appearance — at the time of filming they hadn't settled on making Sela blonde to emphasise her half-human heritage. Zig zagged on Star Trek: Discovery when Voq, a Klingon disguised himself as Ash Tyler, a human. Both roles were in fact played by Shazad Latif, who was only officially credited for the latter role (a series regular); the actor used his late father's name as a pseudonym for the other performance. Ironically, casting someone else as The Mask would have been justified, as the disguise was described as an extremely traumatic physical transformation. As it is, the formula is played with in three ways: the appearance familiar to the audience is itself the disguise, both were played by the same performer, and the actor is actually completely unrecognizable in his other role.
