Loads and Loads of Roles	comment	This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. There's Acting for Two. Then there's acting for twenty. This is where one actor plays a considerable number of roles in a single work (we are not counting Sketch shows). This is primarily a theatre trope, where it requires the ability to perform pretty rapid costume changes. If the character itself does this, then they're a Master of Disguise. You Look Familiar is this trope applied to characters over the course of a TV series. You ALL Look Familiar is the video game character model equivalent. If the characters are related, it's an Uncanny Family Resemblance. Compare with Man of a Thousand Faces and Man of a Thousand Voices. Contrast with Two Voices, One Character. May or may not involve Significant Double Casting.

Loads and Loads of Roles / int_1a0a8299	comment	Taken to the extreme in The 39 Steps: the show has over a hundred roles; there are four actors. The lead man plays one role, the lead woman plays four, and the remaining two actors play all of the other roles between the two of them. Hilarity Ensues, as does much switching of hats, when four or five of these characters are in the same scene. It prides itself in lampshading everything about this trope. At the climax, while the hero, the love interest, and a police officer are confronting the villain, the villain is shot to ensure his silence by a gun-wielding arm that reaches in from offstage. This proves so shocking to the villain — how can there be a gunman when all the cast are already on stage? — that it takes him a while to remember to die.

Fielding (as well as playing the major character of Vince Noir) fills notable roles such as the Hitcher, the Moon, Old Gregg, Tony Harrison, Montgomery Flange, the Spirit of Jazz and Spider Dijon. Barratt (who plays Howard Moon) also plays Rudy van DiSarzio, the Crack Fox, Mr Susan, Dennis the Shaman, Bryan Ferry, Sandstorm, and Jurgen Haabermaaster. Rich Fulcher, who is best known for playing Bob Fossil, has given many other very memorable performances over the course of the series, including Lester Corncrake, Kodiak Jack, Tommy the Cheese Priest, the Ape of Death, The Betamax Bandit, Alan (the Blue King of Xooberon) and "Eleanor", among others. Dave Brown really deserves a mention too. Although his only recurring roles are Bollo the gorilla and Joey Moose, he plays a fair few minor parts - Black Frost, the break-dancing Mutant, Naan Bread, Extreme Sports Calender etc.

Loads and Loads of Roles / int_81692f99	comment	There are five actors who have played seven or more different characters over the course of various Star Treks: Vaughn Armstrong, Thomas Kopache, Jeffrey Combs, J.G. Hertzler, and Randy Oglesby. Most of them started out playing a series of one-shot characters, then were given frequent recurring characters of their own. Jeffrey Combs was even supposedly going to make the jump to actual cast member, but Enterprise was canceled a season too soon. Honorable mention to Majel Barrett for playing several major characters: Number One (original pilot), Nurse Christine Chapel (Original Series), Lwaxana Troi (Next Generation), and Federation starship computers from TNG onward, including Enterprise (one-episode cameo) and the latest movie. This makes her the only person to be involved in every incarnation of the franchise. Of course, she was Gene Rodenberry's wife. Robert Picardo has played dozens of different incarnations of the Emergency Medical Hologram. (Identical in that they have the original base program, but different in that they have had different life experiences, if only subtly.) Not to mention playing the designer of the EMH, and a few holograms that aren't EMHs, but look like the EMH. And then there's Brent Spiner, who's played three different Soong-type androids (Data, Lore, and B-4) and three different Soongs (Noonien, Arik, and Altan). The crowning achievement is in the episode "Brothers", where he plays Data, Lore, and Noonien Soong in the same scene at the same time (with the help of Chroma Key, of course). Also worth mentioning is the seventh-season Masks, where Data is possessed by a succession of alien deities from a probe taking over the Enterprise.

Loads and Loads of Roles / int_914ba844	comment	The Wizard of Oz (1939) had Frank Morgan playing five different roles: The Wizard, Professor Marvel, a gatekeeper in Emerald City, a carriage driver, and a guard in the Wizard's palace. This has led some fans to speculate that the additional characters (besides Professor Marvel) are really the Wizard in disguise.

Some of those alternate versions are played by other actors. Many aren't. Brad Jones is The Cinema Snob, Kung Tai Ted, Vic Dealio of "The Big Box" and 80's Dan.

For specifics: Tom Cavanagh has played at least eleven characters from The Multiverse, including two impersonations of the Earth-1 version. If one includes The Flash (1990) where he played the eponymous hero and his clone, then John Wesley Shipp has played a total of five characters. Grant Gustin mainly plays the titular protagonist of The Flash (2014), but he has also played a Villain of the Week shapeshifter who copied him (the same one with one of Cavanagh's case above), the protagonist's Earth-2 version, and five Alternate Timeline versions which includes the Season 3 Big Bad.

Loads and Loads of Roles / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who has had several actors who played very large numbers of minor roles, and actors who specialised in playing Rubber Suit Monsters and hence appeared as many different "characters". In terms of humanoid characters with significant dialogue, the record is held by Michael Sheard, who played six different named characters in as many stories between 1966 and 1988.note Rhos in "The Ark", Dr. Summers in "The Mind of Evil", Lawrence Scarman in "Pyramids of Mars", Lowe in "The Invisible Enemy", Mergrave in "Castrovalva", and the Headmaster in "Remembrance of the Daleks". And also appeared as Orsino in the Big Finish audio drama The Stones of Venice. The new series features Nicholas Briggs, who is known for voice acting but has also played a number of one-shot characters between Doctor Who, its spinoffs, and ambiguously canon material created during the years after the end of the old series but before the beginning of the new one. But if voice acting does count, know that this man is the voice of ALL Daleks, Cybermen, Judoon, Ice Warriors, Zygons, maybe more. Despite this, he gives each race, and individual members of each race, distinct voices and personalities. The man is nothing less than a legend.
