There is an unwritten expectation that actors can only play the same character for so long, maybe they got sick of the role, contract negotiations fell through, scheduling didn't work out, or they simply died. We tend to view things like The Other Darrin and Suspiciously Similar Substitute as normal and common. But there is something to be said for when an actor sticks with or comes back to a role. This tends to come as a surprise, just because of the length of time involved and scheduling issues.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This tends to happen one of four ways:
Single Continuity - Time has continued from the last time we saw the character.
Alternate Continuity - A reboot of some sort is created, and instead of recasting the role they keep the same actor despite that.
Marathon Run - Every few years there is a new appearance that reminds us that they are still around, and have no intention on leaving the character alone.
Period Pieces - One Historical-Domain Character's portrayal by an actor has been so memorable that the actor is recast in an unrelated production.
Please note that while some characters can be played by the same actor for a significant amount of time, it only counts as a Role Reprisal if the original actor resumes playing the character in a different adaptation or if it has been a while since they last played the character.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Compare Regular Character, The Original Darrin, Recurring Character, Remake Cameo and Back for the Finale.

Twenty years after the original TV version of Neverwhere, Paterson Joseph reprised the role of the Marquis de Carabas for the radio adaptation of "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back", with a brief explanation about why he sounds like "his younger self", rather than David Harewood from the radio version of Neverwhere.

The original radio cast of The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy (1978-80) reprised their roles in the Tertiary to Quintessential Phases (2004-05). Sandra Dickinson, Trillian in the TV version (1981) sort of reprised the role in the Quintessential Phase as an AU Tricia Macmillan. For the 40th anniversary in 2018, an adaptation of And Another Thing... has been announced, with most of the original radio cast, but Dickinson as the "regular" Trillian. Also returning from the later Phases are Samantha Bèart as Random Dent, Jane Horrocks as Fenchurch and Toby Longworth as Prosthetic Vogon Jeltz and Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged. Mitch Benn, who played Zaphod Beeblebrox on some dates of the 2012 stage play, takes the role of Left Brain, Zaphod's former second head.

Josh Mandel voiced King Graham in King's Quest V. While he was a programmer and not a professional voice actor by any stretch (the game's voices were all Sierra staff), his was one of the best showings, and he was able to reprise it for King's Quest VI, which did have professional-grade voice talent. Later on, AGD Interactive had him return in the role for their Fan Remakes of King's Quest I, King's Quest II, and King's Quest III (he also voiced Graham in Infamous Adventures' version).

The Angry Video Game Nerd is no stranger to having celebrity guests appear on his show as themselves (or at least as Adam Wested versions of themselves... though in Lloyd Kaufman's case it's hard to tell), but as of 2019 the one and only time he has had somebody reprising a character they previously played is, of all people, Mike Butters, as the "Pepsi for TV-Game" guy from Pepsiman.
