Evil Twins! Princes and Paupers! Always Identical Twins! Identical Grandsons! Identical Strangers! Mirror Universes! Me's a Crowd! These and other nuisances all provide reasons why one actor might need to play two or more roles. Here's how they do it. If there are a lot of scenes where the two characters spend time together or interact, a pair of identical twin actors is the simplest solution. The Mowry twins, the Heder twins (yes, there are two Napoleons Dynamite), the Feldman twins (Fanty and Mingo from Serenity), the Sklar brothers, the Olsen twins, the Sprouse twins, and the Phelps twins (Fred and George from Harry Potter) come to mind. For an existing character it gets more complex. The most straightforward way to get two copies of a person in the frame is to use a stand-in and only shoot one face at a time, as in the Over the Shoulder shot. A second, more complicated, but effective way is to use Split Screen, with no dividing line, and use the same camera position for both shots. It's hard to get perfect, and disallows any camera moves, but in the analog era it was the best thing going. The technical errors inherent in this are obvious enough, if the backgrounds fail to match up (due to a camera movement) or the actor's body crosses the line and disappears. In the digital age, more complex special effects can be used to insert a copy of a person shot on Green Screen, in the same manner as Serkis Folk. The problems inherent in this are the same as for Serkis Folk, as the double is not present on set for his counterpart to act against. To this day, for budget and acting reasons, the faceless stand-in is still used for the majority of shots. In addition, most episode plots in the above categories require that the two doubles share very little screen time. Not to be confused with Single Malt Vision (a character sees double because of intoxication or other impairment). |

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the mimetic polyalloy T-1000 appears on screen disguised as Sarah Connor alongside the real Sarah, accomplished by having Linda Hamilton play the T-1000 while her twin sister, Leslie doubled as Sarah. Leslie was used again in a scene in the extended Special Edition version, wherein Sarah extracts the Terminator's CPU. The scene is mostly seen through reflections in a mirror: Linda and Arnold played the reflections, while Leslie matched Linda's movements precisely in the close foreground with an Arnold dummy. For another doubling scene with the T-1000 real twins were used. Particularly interesting because of the happenstance: Linda's being a twin was obviously not a factor in her original casting! | |

The Social Network takes a new approach via digital effects to portray the real-life Winklevoss twins. Though Armie Hammer played Cameron on set, and Josh Pence played Tyler, Hammer's face was digitally placed onto Pence's body in post-production so that the twins would look and sound alike. This is done so well, no one would suspect it wasn't two identical twin actors unless you told them what really happened. Unintentional Uncanny Valley like sensations have been reported, however. Not entirely perfect. | |

F Troop adored this trope; because Larry Storch was hilarious with accents, he pulled double duty on no less than three occasions: as Agarn's renegade Mexican bandit cousin (El Diablo), his French-Canadian cousin (Lucky Pierre), and his Russian Cossack cousin (Agarnoff). Not to be left out, Forrest Tucker had an episode where he played Sergeant O'Rourke's meddling Irish father, and Ken Berry had one where he played a dangerous criminal, Kid Vicious, who happened to resemble the goody-two shoes Captain Parmenter. | |

The Mama's Family episode "Mama's Cousin", with Vicki Lawrence playing both Mama and her cousin, uses this and Over the Shoulder scenes with Vicki's double. A bit more obvious than most examples, however, as Mama features mismatched lighting in the split-screen scenes, suggesting she was filmed separately in front of a green screen. | |

During the Mechakara saga on Atop the Fourth Wall, Linkara and Mechakara rarely (if ever) share the screen. In the final battle, however, Linkara, the Ninja-Style Dancer, and '90s Kid are all on-screen at once. Harvey Finevoice is present, but to avoid having to make Lewis play four characters at once, he's on a different angle. During the Entity arc, there's an absolutely seamless shot of Linkara walking around the Entity disguised as '90s Kid. |

Comes into play for Episode 4 of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, when Dangeresque Too meets his robotic duplicate, Uzi Bazooka. There's a very obvious split screen effect when the two converse and the fight between them is done with Strong Sad dressed up in a Homestar outfit even more obvious than the one used in the first episode. Of course, this is all done intentionally for the Stylistic Suck effect that is one of Strong Bad's home movies. It was apparently surprisingly difficult to achieve the proper effect, since a video game would normally just place both models in the same scene. | |

Done pretty well, for the most part, in The Son of the Sheik, in which Rudolph Valentino plays both Sheik Ahmed and his headstrong son Ahmed Jr. When older Ahmed puts his arm over younger Ahmed's shoulder, it's pretty convincing. The Split Screen line is quite obvious, however, in a scene where the two Ahmeds are swordfighting shoulder-to-shoulder. | |

Similarly, in "The Man Who Knew Too Much", Sam interacts with two avatars of his memories of the time he spent in Hell, both of whom are also played by Jared Padalecki. In the episode "Slash Fiction", the Winchesters fight two Leviathans who are impersonating them. |

The Patty Duke Show used the classic double-and-Over the Shoulder shot method for its entire run, with the occasional Split Screen for spice. (Trivia point: For many years, nobody knew who Patty Duke's double was; she never got screen credit and was apparently on the show's payroll with no explanatory notes. Nick at Nite searched for her at one point, but despite their pleas, she did not come forth. Several websites now identify her as Rita McLaughlin, who went on to become a soap opera actress.) Parodied on the Roseanne episode "Shower the People You Love with Gifts": the two actresses who played Becky back and forth during the series, Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke, reenact the opening sequence of The Patty Duke Show shot-for-shot for the closing credits, complete with mirror routine and a poorly done split screen shot where both actresses lean over the dividing line, causing their limbs to vanish from view. |

Also sharing the above method was The Island (2005), whenever Lincoln and the man he was cloned from are in the same scene together; being clones, they are obviously played by the same guy.

DuckTales (2017): The split screen parody version was seen in the Show Within a Show Darkwing Duck when Darkwing encounters an evil lookalike of him. It's particularly noticeable since part of the hat on one of them is lost in the split. In this case, it's because in-universe, the show is both live-action and about two decades old, suggesting that the show's makers hadn't quite mastered the art of the technique at the time. | |

In the Red Dwarf episode "Me2", split screens were used for the two Rimmers, along with other tricks (their room had twin beds instead of the usual bunks, done to avoid the logistical nightmare of one climbing past the other). At several points, Lister can be seen leaning heavily to one side to make the splitting possible. Split screens are used in at least ten Red Dwarf episodes in total, in order to have doubles of the cast. | |

Used in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to do the seven Harrys scene. Daniel Radcliffe had to act out the scene seven times, doing an impression of each of the six characters who had turned into Harry as well as playing the real Harry. The scene where everyone changes into Harry was filmed as one long shot with the camera constantly moving. | |

Stargate SG-1 does this progressively more over time, reflecting advances in editing technology or possibly just a larger budget. In the season 1 episodes which feature duplicate characters — "Cold Lazarus" and "Tin Man" — the actual characters who are duplicated spend most of the episode out of the picture; in "Cold Lazarus", when O'Neill finally ends up in the same room as the alien duplicating him, we get a minute or two of over-the-shoulder shots, but the alien almost immediately switches to duplicating his son instead. By season 9, the writers seemed to almost be going out of their way to come up with scenarios that meant putting several characters played by the same actor onscreen simultaneously, with both "The Ripple Effect" and the entire Baal-cloning arc. | |

In Ernest Goes to Jail, Ernest P. Worrell ends up trading places with Identical Stranger Felix Nash, a convicted crime lord. Both roles are played by Jim Varney, but since one is working at a bank and the other is in jail, the only time they really interact is during the movie's climax, where their final confrontation escalates into the absurd when Ernest is electrocuted and his bizarre electromagnetic properties cause him to levitate. | |

The Colbert Report has the "Formidable Opponent" segment, in which Colbert debates himself. This was originally done using Chroma Key, so that when the camera 'cuts to the other Stephen', he appears mirrored, in front of a different background and with a different coloured tie. The trick with this method lies in synchronising the actor's personality switch with the camera change. However, since the show isn't done live, recent shows appear to do the segment with two separately filmed sequences that are put together in editing. (You can tell because his tie is no longer identical except for the color, and they've used it for things like having one Colbert be drenched with water and the other not.) | |

Multiple copies of Michael Keaton are seen interacting throughout Multiplicity, a movie about a man who clones himself. Particularly impressive scenes include one in which all four versions of the protagonist are shaving in a large bathroom mirror, and one in which one version tosses a beer to another. Methods used include splicing together multiple takes of the scene, and digitally stitching Michael Keaton's face onto the head of a body double. | |

Back to the Future Back to the Future Part II: During production, this movie used this effect to allow Michael J. Fox to play all the characters at the dinner table; Industrial Light and Magic used a special robot controlled camera to allow camera movements while making sure that all the backgrounds lined up. It was also used in scenes where Biff Tannen and Doc Brown from the future met their 1955 selves, although not without a great deal of painting the frame (see the scene where Old Biff throws the book at Young Biff). The second film does a variation on the usual "split-screen" effects when the flying DMC-12 lands "behind" a streetlight for a perfect model-to-car transition. Back to the Future Part III: This effect was used to allow Marty to talk to his ancestor, also played by Michael J. Fox. Keep a lookout for the shot in which the baby is handed off; its mother walks in front of the camera at just the right moment needed to see it actually change hands, but it is done pretty seamlessly and is hard to notice if you aren't looking for it. |

The Good Place: "Janet(s)" has D'Arcy Carden playing all four human main characters, who, due to the properties of the location they're in, now all look like Janet. This was done via body doubles, re-shooting scenes with her in each part, and CGI. It culminates in a scene where Janet!Chidi and Janet!Eleanor kiss, which was done with the help of an intriguing prop. | |

In The Angry Video Game Nerd's review of an NES Licensed Game based on A Nightmare on Elm Street, the Nerd notes that the game has a four-player mode, but notes that the only way you'd find enough people willing to play it would be to clone yourself. Naturally, the next shot is of four Nerd clones playing the game while the original stands behind them. Freddy Krueger eventually gets fed up with the way the Nerds are treating his game and attacks them, and in the final battle, it's done again when Freddy makes himself look like the Nerd. The Mega Man Games episode has the Nerd of 2016 going back to the past and interacting with himself from his Independence Day (PS1) review from 2007, the aforementioned Nightmare review from 2006, and his original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES) review from 2004. In the Cinemassacre's review of the 2009 Ghostbusters game, the Nerd and James Rolfe himself appear side by side for a brief moment at the start of the video before James tells the Nerd that he doesn't need him for the review because the game is not bad. In another episode of AVGN, Board James shows up on the couch next to the Nerd to talk about board games based on video games. |

The local butcher on All in the Family was enamoured with Edith, so when the show was nearing its close (before the switch to Archie Bunker's Place), there was an episode where he found a girlfriend who happened to be a dead ringer for Edith - and also played by Jean Stapleton. A lot of Over the Shoulder was used until the final scene where Edith and her lookalike chat in the kitchen - complete with a great reaction from the audience, who at this point where reacting to pre-taped episodes. | |

Doctor Who: In the classic series, the first five Doctors had at least one story in which they had a double. (The 1st and 4th had two such stories.) The 1st Doctor had an obvious double in some shots in "The Chase", and never met his double in "The Massacre". The 2nd only met his double in the climax of "The Enemy of the World" (split screen). In "The Android Invasion", the 4th had a double with a wig that didn't look right (more of a beehive instead of Tom Baker's Harpo Marx curls). In "Meglos", he only met his double at the end — Split Screen and Over the Shoulder. (Though another guy winds up holding the coats of both versions of him at the same time — a plot point.) The 5th Doctor had a scene with a split screen (but the asymmetrical lighting sold it). Companions have also had doubles occasionally. In the revival, three of the Doctors have had a story with a double as well. The 9th's double in "Father's Day" was done with a simple greenscreen edit, whereas the 10th's double was done with some camera trickery in "Journey's End". The 11th's double in "The Almost People" was arguably the most complicated, with a similar-looking stand-in playing... whichever Doctor Matt Smith wasn't playing at the time. The crew would then RE-film the scene, with the two swapped. The result is uncanny. In a good way. For the "Master race" in "The End of Time", Chroma Keys were used extensively except for long-distance crowd shots, where they simply had extras wearing prosthetic masks in the likeness of John Simm that reek of the Unintentional Uncanny Valley when seen up close (of course, they don't do close-ups of those in the episodes proper). |

The Spoony Experiment manages this in triplicate during Spoony's review of "The Clones of Bruce Lee". The movie is reviewed by a normal Spoony clone, a Dr. Insano Spoony clone, and a bum Spoony clone reminiscent of Chester A. Bum from Bum Reviews, all sitting next to each other on a couch. In the commentary, Noah points out the flaws in the effect, mentioning that he pulled the classic blunder of having an uncovered window in the background which screwed up the lighting; despite his remarks, the effect is still pretty good considering it's one guy on a shoestring budget. Also done briefly in The Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Nostalgic Mindfucks episode - also numbering three total Critics, though it was a much shorter shot. In the same way, Kylle Kallgren used it as an effect during his video review of The Man Who Fell to Earth, for a few seconds only. |

The Kamen Rider Den-O movie Episode Yellow has Diend interacting with his past self. The quality of the green screen effect is dubious, as one of the two Kaitous hasn't properly been chroma-keyed and still has a faint aura of green around him - this is especially odd, since 1) Decade showed that they could do it well, and 2) a movie should logically have a higher SFX budget than a TV series. | |

Green screen and split screen setups are used extensively in the 2000s Battlestar Galactica, where it is not unusual for two or three copies of the same humanoid Cylon to be on screen at the same time. | |

Mary Poppins: This happens during the song "A Spoonful of Sugar", when Mary sings near the mirror, and the reflection echoes her lines, and then sings without her. This mirror gag is briefly repeated in Mary Poppins Returns. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Xander was split in two in "The Replacement", they had a convenient real-life twin to go with, but in "Dopplegangland" they had to use Split Screen and the stand-in. Including the shot where Vamp!Willow licks Willow's neck suggestively. Also the First taking the form of Spike or Buffy to taunt their real life selves. |

Used in an episode of Dengeki Sentai Changeman where the Monster of the Week is disguised as the heroine Sayaka. They used split screen when the two Sayakas meet face to face, then they used a mirror to have the two look at each other in a different camera angle. Due to the show being made in 1985, no-one complained about the dust on the mirror which can be spotted in a modern television. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Life Line", the holographic Doctor is transmitted back to the Alpha Quadrant to treat Dr. Zimmerman, the man who created him. The two look identical (which turns out to be an important plot point) and so are played by the same actor. There's even a scene where the two interact closely, including bumping into each other, during a medical scan. An earlier Voyager episode, "The Swarm", similarly has the Doctor interacting with a hologram of Dr. Zimmerman in a holodeck environment. |

This happens in the BBC TV adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. When Edmund is making his way to the Witch's house, a slightly transparent double of himself appears, and has a conversation with him about his forthcoming terrible deed. Edmund ends this conversation with "So, disappear!", and his double merges with his real self. | |

Minor Example: The closing credits of the second season of The Electric Company (1971) featured the main cast marching out of a door, first as themselves and then as their most popular character (Morgan Freeman with Easy Reader, Skip Hinnant with Fargo North, etc.). They actually used Green Screen for this, and a blooper is noticeable (Morgan Freeman briefly stepping on Jennifer of the Jungle). One episode in particular had a song number with Rita Moreno as three characters all at once singing/shouting her trademark "HEY YOU GUYS!". Green screen again. | |

Done on Friends whenever Lisa Kudrow had to play both Phoebe and twin sister Ursula. David Schwimmer also got a whole episode dedicated to this with "The One With Russ", in which Rachel dates a Ross doppelganger named Russ. As studio sitcoms rarely use this trope, Friends delighted in showing off the technique, with Kudrow and Schwimmer physically interacting with their other selves. | |

Big Business (1988) is a case of double Double Vision, with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin each playing a set of identical twins who were mixed up at birth. No camera tricks were needed until the end of the film, when the two Bette-Lily pairs finally encounter each other. | |

Kamen Rider Decade did it a couple of times, first in the Kamen Rider Kabuto Alternate Universe with a Worm imitating Tsukasa, then later on when both versions of Kotaro Minami (Black and Black RX) appear alongside one another untransformed (the second case ditches the acting for two when they transform, as it merely becomes a case of two stuntmen in different suits.). | |

The Car 54, Where Are You? episode "A Man is Not an Ox" sees protagonists Toody and Muldoon acting more and more like each other, and a last-ditch effort to get them to start diverging involves setting up the unmarried Muldoon with fellow officer Nicholson's wife's cousin from North Dakota, whom none of the other officers have ever met, as his date for the annual precinct banquet. When she arrives, everyone is stunned to see that she looks almost exactly like Toody's wife Lucille (albeit with a dark wig)... as she is played by the same actress, Beatrice Pons. In shots featuring both characters, one is only ever seen from over the shoulder. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Time Squared" doubles Patrick Stewart with an obvious stand-in and some less-than-perfect split-screen shots (eyelines, mainly). In "Brothers", Brent Spiner plays Data, his evil "twin" Lore, and their creator, Noonian Soong. Data and Lore are never in the same shot (though there is a very tricky scene using a sliding green screen in which Data puts down a glass and Lore picks it up), but both are often in the same shot with Soong. "Second Chances" features a few Chroma Key shots to allow the two Rikers to interact, in addition to stand-ins and split-screens. The creators were especially proud of a shot where Riker 1 walks around Riker 2, which they accomplished with nothing more than some Chroma Key work and running a flag across a light. |
