A wanted criminal or escaped convict who just so happens to bear a striking resemblance to a main character and, through a number of Contrived Coincidences, invariably ends up getting confused with his counterpart. In general, someone on the run from the police who has absolutely no ties to any of the main characters but looks like one of them is always bound to cross paths with his unwitting double, at which point the main character is often mistaken by the police for the criminal when they finally enter the picture. Occasionally, this leads to the completely innocent main character being thrown in jail in the criminal's place, without police ever looking at the main character's identification or giving him a trial to prove his innocence or even telling him what the Bewildering Punishment is for. This regularly leads to Acting for Two, Emergency Impersonation, Swapped Roles and either Clear My Name or Clear Their Name. A Beard of Evil, irregular scar, or similar facial characteristic(s) may be employed so audiences can more easily differentiate between the original characters and their look-alikes, especially in comics and animation. When they enter the scene together, the innocent character's allies may have to resort to Spot the Imposter. This is a subtrope of Identical Stranger and Guilt by Coincidence; is a Sister Trope to Evil Twin (evil identical twin), Evil Doppelgänger (evil Alternate Self/clone), Evil Counterpart (evil character with parallels to a non-evil character), and Evil Knockoff (intentionally created evil duplicate); and is also an Undead Horse Trope. Compare: Costume Copycat for a variation found with costumed superheroes. Examples |

In Betrayal at Krondor, James gets accused of crimes he didn't commit on a few occasions, both by law-abiding citizens and rival criminal gangs, all due to Lysle Rigger and his work against the gang run by The Crawler. | |

The Adventures of Superman had an episode "Jimmy the Kid") featuring a criminal doppelganger for Jimmy Olsen, of all people. Even "Kid" Collins' wife and Jimmy's coworkers can't tell the difference going by appearance. However, their personalities could hardly be more different. "Kid" is belligerent, aggressive, and lecherous; Jimmy is patient, mild and gentlemanly. For some reason, it still takes Lois most of the episode to figure it out, and Superman/Clark doesn't make the connection until she tells him. In another episode, crooks found a doppleganger for Superman, who they used to smear his name by robbing people dressed in the suit. The only difference is that when the crook spoke, his normal accent was a Brooklyn "deese, do'se, and d'ems," like the gangster he was, instead of Superman's perfect mid-Western American accent. |

Exploited in The Hardy Boys' eleventh mystery, While the Clock Ticked, whose Big Bad takes advantage of his resemblance to an old mansion's caretaker to use a time-locked chamber in the mansion for his criminal exploits. It's taken to its logical point that, until the existence of the real one is discovered, the caretaker himself is suspected of being the Big Bad. | |

Bonanza: Late in the series' run, Lorene Greene doubles up as Bradley Meredith, a professional gambler and con man who fools Virginia City into believing he is Ben Cartwright. Both of his visits come when the real Ben is out of town on business, although Meredith always has a clever explanation as to "Ben's" quick return and to engage in his latest scheme — always which ultimately involves liquidating the Ponderosa at a hefty payoff. Ben always shows up in time, however, to set things straight and thwart his phony look-alike's plans. Two such installments (one in 1971, the other in 1972) were filmed, and rumor had it that Bradley Meredith was planning to return in the spring of 1973, had Bonanza not been cancelled. | |

Agaton Sax: Agaton Sax and the Criminal Doubles features two men who both resemble some famous criminal and enemy of Agaton Sax. One of them is a perfect copy of Julius Mosca, and the other resembles Octopus Scott exactly. Because of this, they get arrested every day, and have started to demand (and receive) compensation payments from the police, which they receive each time they get arrested. | |

Psych has a more realistic example: A man is falsely accused because the actual criminal isn't identical but looks enough like him that when people saw him, they thought they mistook him for the real criminal. What made it worse was that almost all of the "evidence" used to prosecute him was eyewitness testimony, which is highly subjective. | |

Underdog had one, Tap-Tap the Chiseler, a gemcutter who worked for the underworld; in his first appearance he worked for the gangster Riff-Raff, but in a second appearance proved he was just as capable of causing trouble on his own. Despite some obvious flaws in his disguise - his voice was deeper, he didn't rhyme, and he always smoked cigars - the resemblance was enough to fool almost everyone, even Underdog's girlfriend Sweet Polly. | |

One early Looney Tunes short had a criminal who looked just like Porky Pig, an outstanding citizen working as a bank clerk. So he takes Porky's place in order to rob the bank. Porky's girlfriend Petunia is able to tell them apart because the criminal is more receptive to her flirting, while Porky becomes bashful and awkward. Another short, "Corn On The Cop", which is set on Halloween, has a criminal disguise himself as Granny and hold up a grocery store, prompting incompetent policemen Daffy and Porky to try to arrest either the robber or Granny, who, thinking they were kids in costumes, becomes aggravated with them. |

Super Duck: One story had Super Duck and his nephew Fauntleroy holidaying in Mexico and baffled by the fact that the locals were inexplicably terrified of them (when Supe went to the bank to cash a $10 traveler's check, the bank manager opened the vault and told them to take whatever they wanted). Finally they spotted a wanted poster and realized that Supe happened to look just like a notorious criminal named El Produckto. When they returned to their hotel room, El Produckto was waiting for them and prepared to shoot Supe for impersonating him. Fauntleroy, thinking quickly, pretended to take El Produckto's side and suggested the bandito write out a confession to all his crimes and send Supe to the police with it, taking the rap for everything. El Produckto did so, and then Faunt caused a distraction, knocks El Produckto out cold, and switched him with Supe. El Produckto's henchmen unwittingly took their boss to the jail, all of them ended up locked up, and Faunt was hailed a hero. Another story had Supe's deadbeat lookalike cousin Bunko drop by while Supe is out fishing and swipe all of his identification, taking over his house and life. Supe gets revenge by going on a rampage through town, causing all manner of destructive mischief and taunting the police to come and get him. The cops head to Supe's house, and Bunko, thinking Supe called the cops on him, smugly provides the stolen identification. The cops beat the tar out of him and toss him in jail. ("He sure was brazen about it!") The story ends with Bunko begging Supe to reveal the truth from his cell, and Supe joking that he prefers being Cousin Bunko now. |

Duck Dodgers episode has a criminal called Drake Darkstar, who looks just like Dodgers, switch places with him through a series of convenient incidents. The usual end of a 'criminal twin' plot is given a twist: the Space Cadet actually lets Dodgers get sent to jail instead of Darkstar after Dodgers confirms his identity by reminding the Cadet of eight or nine incredibly horrible things Dodgers had done to the Cadet, including 'Remember when I sold your sister to the sausage factory?', which even Darkstar thinks is cold. | |

The Dukes of Hazzard: A frequent trope in several episodes, and a particular favorite trick used by Boss Hogg and Rosco in their never-ending quest to frame the Duke boys: "Double Dukes," where Boss hires two men to rob Hazzard Bank, and to make the heist convincing to the community and most importantly the authorities, has the men wear clothing, wigs and masks resembling Bo and Luke. Boss even has a Dodge Charger painted to resemble the General Lee. Bo and Luke are able to prove their innocence and expose their doubles. "The $10 Million Sheriff," where a vicious bounty hunter paints a stolen Dodge Charger as the General Lee, fooling Bo and Luke. "Too Many Roscos," where an experienced bank robber named Woody has a facelift so he can exactly resemble Rosco. He does this as he and his two associates run the patrol car driven by the real Rosco off the road and into a lake, kidnap him and allow the community to believe that the real Rosco to be presumed drowned. After the community begins mourning the presumably dead sheriff, "Rosco" reappears, much to the joy of the community. Although there are obvious clues that this man is an impostor—namely, by bungling simple facts while remembering in detail an expected armored car delivery to Hazzard Bank—the community is fooled, and this allows Woody and his friends to pull off a seemingly easy bank robbery. "Twin Trouble," where twin jewel thieves use this to their advantage by having one of the sisters pull off the robberies and the other be somewhere else, claiming complete innocence and non-involvement in the crime. Bo is dating the "innocent" sister while Luke saw the other one pull off the robbery, naturally leading to conflict before the Duke cousins realize what is actually happening. |

Les Misérables has Champmathieu gets arrested in Jean Valjean's place because he just happens to look exactly like him. Notable: Jean Valjean is a criminal, too— a convict who has broken his parole for years. Champmathieu (who is mentally disabled) has been caught for petty crime, but because he's mistaken for Valjean, he could be seeing prison for life. Jean Valjean comes forward, and not only demonstrates their resemblance, but recalls details of his fellow inmates that only the real Valjean could know. | |

Invoked in an episode of Supernatural with a shapeshifter that impersonates people close to the victims while committing his crimes so that they'll take the fall instead of him.

In Faye's first appearance in Cowboy Bebop, she mistakes Spike for the guy who was supposed to help her smuggle a computer chip hidden in a gambling chip during a game of blackjack. The screen was fuzzy so she couldn't see the details but he had the same fluffy hair and snazzy blue suit and, by sheer power of coincidence, even performed half the code phrase before walking off with the completely normal chip. | |

In Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic is blamed by the government for breaking into a top secret facility and stealing a Chaos Emerald. This was actually done by Shadow and Sonic is able to put two and two together once they come face to face. In an interesting variant of this trope, all of this was completely unintentional on Shadow's part and Shadow initially assumes Sonic to be his fake when they meet up. A lot of characters continue to mistake Shadow for Sonic throughout the game, though one questions how people can confuse a black hedgehog and blue hedgehog that have two differently spiked hairstyles, especially in broad daylight. | |

Inverted the classic Russian comedy Gentlemen of Fortune about kindergarten teacher who is recruited by the police to impersonate a big-shot criminal, stage a break-out in a prison with the criminal's buddies, and lead the police straight to the criminals' cache of stolen goods. Hilarity Ensues. Played straight at the beginning, when a man sees the picture of the Docent (the criminal's nickname) and assumes that the teacher is him. The man decides to be the hero and attacks the teacher. This is how the teacher ends up coming to the attention of the cops. |

The Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Bounty Bunny" has Yosemite Sam as a bounty hunter trying to arrest Bugs Bunny. The wanted poster ($5,000 for jaywalking) just shows a head and while it looks just like Bugs, Bugs points out early on that he only has two whiskers on the sides of his face while the rabbit on the poster has three, but Sam doesn't buy it. In the end when Sam finally gets Bugs to the police station, the sheriff shows that the jaywalking rabbit already turned himself in and while he does have Bugs' exact head with an extra set of whiskers, he also has a much buffer body. So Sam gets no bounty and gets arrested for falsely kidnapping Bugs. | |

The Rookie has the cops amazed the low-level drug dealer in a case is an exact match for cop Bradford (he, of course, refuses to see any resemblance to this idiot). Partner Chen has a grand time needling Bradford about it as they decide to have him go undercover as the dealer. At which point, they bring in the guy's own girlfriend/partner...who just happens to be a dead ringer for Chen. | |

An episode of The Incredible Hulk (1977) had David Banner cross paths with a criminal who looked exactly like him (Bill Bixby with a moustache). Despite trying to frame Banner, the criminal was caught by police and attempted to weasel out of it by saying there's a guy who looked exactly like him. The police, who apparently don't watch TV, dismissed the idea as inane. | |

Issue 290 of Adventure Comics featured Tom Tanner, a juvenile delinquent who happened to resemble teenage Clark Kent, which enabled him to impersonate Clark for a bit while he was busy as Superboy. Ma Kent accidentally reveals to Tom Tanner Clark's secret of being Superboy, but that was undone when Superboy's efforts in thwarting the Sun Boy imposter's attempt at making Superboy evil resulted in the ray instead hitting Tanner, making him become good and the shock causing him to forget Superboy's secret identity. | |

Bullseye features Michael Caine and Roger Moore playing a pair of Con Men who attempt to exploit their resemblance to a pair of nuclear physicists (also played by Caine and Moore) who believe they have invented a limitless supply of energy. At the end of the movie, they lose all their money investing in a movie about themselves starring John Cleese, who turned out to be a conman who just happened to look like Cleese (played of course, by John Cleese). | |

On Welcome Freshmen, in one episode a criminal named "Shiny Top" escaped from prison - and he was a dead ringer for the balding, bumbling vice-principal Mr. Lippman. Hijinks ensued with Shiny Top taking the vice-principal's place and Lippman thrown in jail and trying to bluff the other inmates into fearing him. The day is saved when Shiny Top is taken out by Mr. Lippman's secretary, the one person not fooled by the switch. And then it turned out it was All Just a Dream, a result of Lippman taking a blow to the head in the opening scene. | |

Both comment on how disappointed they are that "someone that handsome is acting so stupid." Mickey has his own criminal double, Miklos the Grey Mouse. Due his cunning, he's fully capable of turning everyone against Mickey before trying to "expose" him as a doppelganger. |

Monk used this in an episode, in which Adrian happened to be a dead ringer for a mob hit-man.

As the interview continues, both Bobin and Empire Magazine lampshade Acting for Two, and discuss tropes. In an interview with Kermit, he claims the search wasn't that hard; apparently Constantine is played by one of his relatives. |

In Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, Number One of the WDO is accused of kidnapping death row inmates during the Grand Finale. It turns out that it's not the real Number One (AKA the protagonist) or the Body Double who is responsible for this. It's actually Makoto who is responsible as the Big Bad, as he is a perfect clone of Number One by personality and appearance. The result is that the true Number One was accused of those crimes, but in reality it was Number One's clone. | |

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, a defendant is found guilty after "Phoenix Wright" horribly screws up their defense. Since the actual Phoenix knows he wasn't involved in the case, he concludes that it must have been someone else that looked like him. It turns out that Furio Tigre, having murdered someone, impersonated Phoenix and purposely gave a crap defense complete with a fake attorney badge, to make sure that the person he had planted the crime onto got convicted. The doppelgänger having appearance characteristics that differ from the real Phoenix Wright gets a Lampshade Hanging from all the other characters. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: A variation is seen in the episode of "Forbidden Girlfriend." The B-plot revolves around Reese getting annoyed that a guy in the neighborhood has been racing around his muscle car, and confused that Dewey has "money day," in which people randomly give him money for no reason. As Reese ponders why he's never heard of "money day," a kid that looks similar to Dewey politely excuses himself while cleaning someone's yard, and Reese comes to a conclusion: Dewey is this other kid's Evil Twin, and convinces him to take advantage of the situation by committing acts of vandalism and blaming it on the other kid. When Dewey tries to back out of Reese's scheme, Reese threatens to tell their parents about how he took the credit, and money, for the other kid's good deeds. Their first act of vandalism has Dewey pour concrete into the guy's muscle car, and then Reese blames it on the other kid, getting him into a lot of trouble. When Reese goes into their bedroom with a list of more things they could blame the other kid for, while they get off scot free, Dewey reveals he told the other kid and the muscle car owner about the scheme, and the guy gets some payback on Reese. | |

One Piece inverts this. The crew is wanted by the authorities, and therefore all have wanted posters. Their pictures are all from photographs except for Sanji's, whose photo they could not take. They decide to draw his picture in instead, and the drawing is so bad that it ends up barely resembling Sanji. At one point, the crew get attacked by Duval, a guy who looks exactly like Sanji's terribly-drawn wanted poster, because he's fed up of being mistaken for Sanji. Played with again later in the series when a bunch of impostor pirates dress up as the Straw Hats and try to use their infamy to their own advantage. The irony being that even though they look nothing like the originals in the first place, by this point in the story, two years have passed and the Straw Hats now look different to varying degrees. Also an inversion in that the main characters are the notorious criminals, while the doppelgangers are relative unknowns; only their captain even has a bounty, and his is comparatively low. This turns into a Casting Gag in the anime, as the Straw Hats' voice actors are mixed around to voice the "Fake Hats", such as Sanji's actor voicing the fake Luffy. |

Orphan Black has an example of the main character being one of these. The show starts with Sarah Manning, a former hustler with a criminal record, see a woman who looks exactly like her at the subway station. Moments later, the woman kills herself by running in front of a train. Sarah takes this as an opportunity to impersonate her. It's not just Identical Stranger, though. It's a lot more complicated than that. This is later played straight with Helena, a mysterious serial killer who seems bent on killing all the clones. |

Tiny Toon Adventures: The second segment of the episode "Here's Hamton", "America's Least Wanted", deals with a criminal by the name of Knuckles Cutlet, who looks just like Hamton, except for facial hair, a scar, and a missing tooth. Naturally, Plucky can't tell the difference, and in the end, the real Hamton ends up in prison while Knuckles tries to kill Plucky. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve", one of the villains just happens to look like the First Doctor (William Hartnell). In "The Enemy of the World" there's a dictator named Salamander who just happens to look like the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton). In "Meglos", the villain deliberately invokes this trope by using alien technology to make himself look like the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker). In "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel", Mickey Smith has a double named Ricky, who claims to be London's most wanted. For parking tickets. |

On an episode of V.I.P., a terrorist organization spent months searching for a Valerie Irons lookalike so that they could frame the real one for their rather far-reaching crime against humanity. Not only did they find one, they found one who was surprisingly willing to join up with them and do it; clearly the writers were depending on serious Willing Suspension of Disbelief by viewers. | |

The titular hero of Cosmo Cat uses pills called Cosmic Catnip Capsules to keep his powers up. An unnamed lookalike finds some capsules that Cosmo misplaced and uses them to go on a crime spree dressed like Cosmo. Despite looking exactly like the hero, the doppelganger has a bandage on his right temple and a cigar in his teeth, so the readers can still easily tell who's who. | |

The plot of The Addams Family: The first movie revolves around the Addams' lawyer trying to embezzle money from them in order to pay off the Loan Shark he owes money to. The loan shark's son happens to look a lot like Gomez Addams' long lost brother Fester. They all hatch a plan for the son to impersonate Fester, gain the Addams' trust and then take their money. It turns out that the man actually is Fester, who was found by the loan shark 25 years prior after a bout of amnesia. Word of God invokedsays that the criminal originally wasn't an amnesiac Fester but would get adopted by the Addams at the end to replace Fester anyway. The cast teamed up to tell the writers that they hated this idea. |

The Tracker (2001) episode "Double Down" involves Zin using the man Cole had taken his human morph from to get Cole arrested for murder. A subversion, since he wasn't actually the murderer either-Zin used some fancy video manipulation and footage from the suspected killer having been tricked into a fake movie shoot. | |

Looney Tunes: One early Looney Tunes short had a criminal who looked just like Porky Pig, an outstanding citizen working as a bank clerk. So he takes Porky's place in order to rob the bank. Porky's girlfriend Petunia is able to tell them apart because the criminal is more receptive to her flirting, while Porky becomes bashful and awkward. Another short, "Corn On The Cop", which is set on Halloween, has a criminal disguise himself as Granny and hold up a grocery store, prompting incompetent policemen Daffy and Porky to try to arrest either the robber or Granny, who, thinking they were kids in costumes, becomes aggravated with them. Tiny Toon Adventures: The second segment of the episode "Here's Hamton", "America's Least Wanted", deals with a criminal by the name of Knuckles Cutlet, who looks just like Hamton, except for facial hair, a scar, and a missing tooth. Naturally, Plucky can't tell the difference, and in the end, the real Hamton ends up in prison while Knuckles tries to kill Plucky. The Looney Tunes Show did a similar plot with Daffy and Porky. Apparently there are a lot of criminal pigs in that universe. The Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Bounty Bunny" has Yosemite Sam as a bounty hunter trying to arrest Bugs Bunny. The wanted poster ($5,000 for jaywalking) just shows a head and while it looks just like Bugs, Bugs points out early on that he only has two whiskers on the sides of his face while the rabbit on the poster has three, but Sam doesn't buy it. In the end when Sam finally gets Bugs to the police station, the sheriff shows that the jaywalking rabbit already turned himself in and while he does have Bugs' exact head with an extra set of whiskers, he also has a much buffer body. So Sam gets no bounty and gets arrested for falsely kidnapping Bugs. |

Near the end of the Hey Arnold! episode "Hookey". While Arnold and Gerald are Skipping School, narrowly avoiding being caught everywhere they go (their school janitor taking a vacation at DinoLand, getting Caught on the Jumbotron at a baseball game and Grandpa Phil and Oskar seeing the same movie they're watching), they attempt to disguise themselves to avoid drawing attention to everyone, except for the police, who mistake them for soda thieves that were at large and arrest them. Their disguises made them look as lifelike as the real thing. Arnold and Gerald decide to go back to school and turn themselves in after the police let them go upon capturing the real soda thieves. | |

Suspicion by Friedrich Dürrenmatt has an interesting case: Dr. Emmenberger, a Swiss doctor of medicine and Dr. Nehle, a German Back-Alley Doctor do look a lot alike and Emmenberger decides to make use of that: He and Nehle switch identities during WWII, Emmenberger gets Nehle a license and works in a concentration camp while Nehle, posing as Emmenberger, works at a hospital in Chile. After the war, they switch back. Emmenberger kills Nehle (who now is considered a war criminal) and passes now undetected as a renowned head of a private clinic. | |

Gunsmoke: The 1972 episode "Alias: Festus Hagen" sees the dumbfounded, loveable and dim-witted deputy sheriff arrested as a bloodthirsty outlaw named Frank Eaton. Eaton had been wanted for bank robbery, murder and numerous other crimes, and the impression on the community at first is that Festus had cleverly been concealing his identity. But Matt realizes quickly that something is amiss and seeks to clear his friend's name. Sure enough, Matt tracks down the real Frank Eaton... and sure enough, he exactly resembles Festus. Eventually, Festus escapes custody (just before he is to stand trial), meets Eaton and the two get into that episode's requisite brawl. When Eaton gets the upper hand and is clearly winning, it is the U.S. Marshall who arrested Festus in the first place who comes to the rescue. | |

Only Fools and Horses had a two-part special where Del and Rodney go to Miami, where a Mafia boss who looks identical to Del is facing life imprisonment. The guy's son hatches a plot to fake his death by getting the brothers to stay with them (not introducing them to his father) and have Del dress in his clothes (achieved by arranging for their camper van with all their possessions inside to be stolen), then having Del killed in public. After a few failed attempts, Del manages to work out what's happening, and they are able to escape. | |
