Casting can be a tricky thing. You don't always get it right at first, and it so happens you might replace an actor after having them already film a substantial amount of the film. That means for all important scenes involving that actor you have to reshoot it with your new performer. In some cases, quick shots of the original actor may find their way into the final cut, though you'd probably only notice this if you paused on those shots. It is, of course, much easier to pull off The Other Marty in animation and voice-only roles. But in all seriousness, done incorrectly, this may lead to They Changed It, Now It Sucks!.
Named for one of the more famous examples. Originally, Eric Stoltz was cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future. However, after a good portion of the movie was filmed, the filmmakers, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, decided that Stoltz's performance was too dark, and he was replaced by Michael J. Fox. Gale and Zemeckis had actually wanted Fox from the start, but scheduling conflicts due to his work on Family Ties prevented him from accepting the role. In the final cut of the movie, Stoltz can be seen driving the DeLorean in wide shots of the car chase at the mall, and it's his fist punching Biff Tannen in the diner. According to the 2015 documentary Back in Time the reshoots were so tight that in a lot of the shots that don't have Marty onscreen, but the other actors are reacting to him, it's Stoltz who was on set.
In a more general business sense, the use of Stunt Doubles and set doubles means that often we are not seeing the actual actor in as many scenes as we may believe. In animation, character models may be changed and updated as work progresses and completed footage may end with glimpses of that original character. Sometimes to make up for the actor getting recast by a different actor, the producers will sometimes cast the previous actor in a different role for the same film.
Technically this is extremely common for animation, as random voice actors (sometimes miscellaneous people from the production who normally aren't even actors) will be used to help the animators get a feel for the pacing of a scene before the official performer is used for the final piece. On more than a few occasions the "temporary" actor ends up in the role because their performance was too good to leave out. In cases where The Other Darrin was a one-off minor role who becomes a major character with another actor, sometimes scenes will be reshot or re-recorded with the new actor for the sake of consistency in compilation packages.

When Michelle Phillips briefly left The Mamas & the Papas during the recording of their self-titled second album, her parts were recorded by producer Lou Adler's girlfriend, Jill Gibson. Phillips returned before the album was released, and re-recorded at least some of her parts. It remains a matter of dispute as to how many songs on the final album feature which singer.

In-universe in Watchmen, the original Silk Spectre was planned to star in a film focusing on her. After much Troubled Production, new scenes were filmed featuring a different actress, with the director claiming "from the back, you can't tell the difference." In a newspaper review of the finished product, the reviewer finds the illusion so unconvincing that he refers to the two as if they were separate characters.

Destiny managed to pull a retroactive version of this. Peter Dinklage's voicing of the player's Ghost companion was poorly received by fans. When the character required new dialogue for expansion packs, the developers used Nolan North instead. They then had him re-record all of the original dialogue as well so that Dinklage's performance could be patched out of the game completely. Word of God claims that Dinklage was replaced because his busy Hollywood schedule made it extremely difficult to get him for the short notice work that video game voice acting requires (especially a "live" game like Destiny).

Ozzy Osbourne was at one point sued by his former bandmembers Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake for unpaid royalties. When the albums featuring them (Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman) were reissued in 2002, their parts were rerecorded by Ozzy's then-current members. The original Daisley and Kerslake tracks were eventually restored for the albums' 30th anniversary reissues.

In Borderlands 2, Gaige the Mechromancer is a pretty unique example, as she has two voices in the final version. The first is Luci Christian, who is also credited for the role in the main game's end credits, and the second is Cherami Leigh. Originally, Christian was to voice the character entirely. However, after she had recorded most of her lines, Gearbox Software decided to recast the role. When Gaige was released as a DLC character, all of Christian's original lines were left in by mistake, along with all the lines written and recorded after Leigh had been cast. Players have to spec into Anarchy to heard much of Leigh-as-Gaige, though.

For Lloyd Webber's adaptation of Sunset Boulevard, Broadway star Patti LuPone was promised the lead in the original Broadway production, but was ultimately replaced by Glenn Close from the LA production. The ensuing lawsuit crippled the Broadway production, which closed after two years at a huge loss despite high ticket sales. Similarly, Close's replacement in LA was meant to be Faye Dunaway. During rehearsals, it was decided that her voice wasn't what they wanted and they elected to shut down instead of recasting. Dunaway sued and settled for an undisclosed sum.

Shadow is voiced by David Humphrey in Sonic Adventure 2. However, during the final battle, a few of his lines are voiced by Ryan Drummond, Sonic's voice actor. According to Drummond, this happened because of labor laws with the Screen Actor's Guild. An actor is paid for a full day of work no matter how long they're in the studio. And when they leave the studio, that's considered to be a full day's work. Sega had forgotten to have Humphrey record some of Shadow's lines, but since he had already left, they'd be required to pay him another full day for only a few lines. When Drummond showed up for work later that day, Sega asked him to impersonate Humphrey to save some money.

While no James Bond movie as of 2024 has had its score completely rejected. GoldenEye is the only one to have an cue rejected, due to Martin Campbell's disappointment with Éric Serra's score, citing budget constraints and difficulty working with Serra, who became uncooperative when asked to re-score the St. Petersburg tank chase after Campbell rejected his submitted track. In the completed film has a much Bondian-sounding piece by the score's orchestrator/conductor John Altman with more emphasis on Monty Norman's theme in its place. Serra's unused cue is called "A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg" on the soundtrack album.

Company (Sondheim) initially starred Dean Jones in the role of Bobby Baby, and he even recorded the role on the cast album. However, right after opening night, Jones departed due to suffering a nervous breakdown from his divorce. He was replaced by Larry Kert, best known for originating the role of Tony in West Side Story. As a result, Kert was nominated for a Tony, making it a rare case for a replacement receiving a nomination. The cast album was even reissued with Kert overdubbing Jones's vocals.

Thief (2014): Initially, Stephen Russell (the voice actor of the protagonist Garrett in the original saga) was called to record the trailer shots and even some preliminary parts of the video game. Then he was officially replaced by Romano Orzari, who redubbed the trailers. Both versions of the trailers are still available. The reason was that the developers wanted to record voices, facial animations, and movements with full performance capture technique, and Russell was too old to perform the required stunts (not counting that his voice aged noticeably).

Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015), outsourced to a different company with a different art team to the previous Dissidia games, reportedly had serious problems getting Cloud to look right. Early trailers for the game showed a somewhat shiny, elfin-looking Cloud which met with negative reception amongst members of staff, who complained that "something was off" about him and that he looked creepy. One person from Team Ninja complained in an interview with Famitsu that they 'must have remade Cloud's face a hundred times' due to inability to get him to look like the character.

Ron Goodwin re-did scores on at least two occasions. In Battle of Britain he replaced Sir William Walton's score, although one Walton cue was retained after his friend Laurence Olivier threatened to take his name off the film. Then he was brought in for Frenzy after Alfred Hitchcock rejected Henry Mancini's score for being "too macabre" (an odd justification, since it's a movie about a Serial Killernote This would be Mancini's only rejected score.).

The original Mortal Kombat had an actor named Eric Kincaid playing the role of Shang Tsung. When the developers realized that Shang Tsung had fewer moves and animations than they needed for the final boss, Ho-Sung Pak, who played the protagonist Liu Kang, was brought in to recording additional frames in the same outfit. Since Ho-Sung Pak posed for the majority of the animation frames, only he was credited in the final version, but some of Kincaid's poses were still used.

However, midway through the writers decided that, given the game's status as a prequel set while Alyx is a teenager, they should go with a younger-sounding voice actor and swapped her for Ozioma Akagha.

Halo:
In Halo 4, David Anthony Pizzuto was the original voice of Ur-Didact, but he sadly passed away before he finished recording all of his lines. Keith Szarabajka voices the character in the final game.
Mike Colter played Jameson Locke in Halo: Nightfall and Halo 2: Anniversary, and performed motion capture for the character in Halo 5: Guardians. He was also set to voice him again, but due to scheduling conflicts with Luke Cage, Ike Amadi stepped in to voice Locke in the final game.
For Halo Infinite, actor Verlon Roberts announced pre-release that he was due to play the character of Spartan Griffin. In the final game he is still credited for a motion capture performance, but Griffin is voiced by Andrew Kishino instead. Given the circumstances, it is possible an NDA breach on Roberts' part is to blame.

In the final game he is still credited for a motion capture performance, but Griffin is voiced by Andrew Kishino instead. Given the circumstances, it is possible an NDA breach on Roberts' part is to blame.

Destiny 2 repeated the phenomenon with Anastasia Bray, originally introduced to the game in the Warmind expansion in 2018. Ana's original voice actress, Jamie Chung, was replaced by Erika Ishii in 2020 with D2's Season of the Worthy update. At the same time, Bungie patched all of the Warmind content to include Ishii's performance for Ana, in much the same fashion as the first game's Dinklage-to-North switch for the player's Ghost.

In Far Cry 3, Jason was originally going to be voiced by Elias Toufexis, who ended up doing two years worth of voice work for the game. After the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, where Toufexis voiced protagonist Adam Jensen, Ubisoft replaced Toufexis with Gianpaolo Venuta since, in the words of the former, "they didn't want people playing this game and thinking of another game". Toufexis would later voice the lead in the spinoff title Far Cry Primal.

Final Fantasy XV's lengthy Troubled Production and numerous rewrites resulted in a lot of these:
Early promo material focused heavily on Noctis's girlfriend, Stella Nox Fleuret, who was hyped up as having a strong, Silk Hiding Steel personality and the most important role in the story. Her charismatic design and comparisons to previous fan favorite Celes from Final Fantasy VI led to the fanbase getting attached to her. As XV's Development Hell creaked on, it was Retooled into a game about four guys on a road trip, and Stella's role became ancillary. Feeling that it would be disrespectful to Stella and the fans to use her in a drastically diminished role, she was replaced with a new character called Lunafreya Nox Fleuret.
Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt was originally going to be voiced by Shinji Ogawa. After Ogawa's death during the game's development, his dialogue was rerecorded by Shōzō Iizuka.
The game also ran into problems where Ink-Suit Actor child actors would age out of being able to perform their roles by the time rewrites necessitated new recordings, requiring recasts.

Many times, they brought in other guitarists to fill in for Ace. Most notably, many of the studio tracks on Alive II and the "reunion" album, Psycho Circus, were handled by longtime friend of the band, Bob Kulick (Bob's brother, Bruce, would play in the band from 1984 to 1996).

Fans were allowed to watch the first episode of Red vs. Blue: Zero during RTX at Home 2020, in which the henchman Diesel was voiced by Ryan Haywood. Due to the controversial circumstances around him that led to his subsequent departure from Rooster Teeth, he was replaced by Daman Mills by the time the season actually came out. The only way to hear Haywood's performance is through reaction videos recorded during that early showing.

Clive Barker's Undying: The game's original premise had the hero as a tattooed, muscle-bound shaman versed in the ancient arts. When Clive Barker came aboard, the first thing he had the development team do was overhaul the hero into Irish paranormal investigator Patrick Galloway, wisely deciding that an everyman hero would work much better for the story (not to mention the Author Appeal factor). The hero's original design didn't go to waste, however: he can be seen as the Trsanti shaman wielding the Gel'ziabar Stone in the flashback cutscene.

Final Fantasy:
Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015), outsourced to a different company with a different art team to the previous Dissidia games, reportedly had serious problems getting Cloud to look right. Early trailers for the game showed a somewhat shiny, elfin-looking Cloud which met with negative reception amongst members of staff, who complained that "something was off" about him and that he looked creepy. One person from Team Ninja complained in an interview with Famitsu that they 'must have remade Cloud's face a hundred times' due to inability to get him to look like the character.

Disco Elysium:
The Horrific Necktie as seen in the game is multicoloured, mostly green and blue with red accents, and has a mixture of paisley and floral prints in clashing colour schemes. However, at one point, it was orange. This can be seen in the portrait for the "Sensitive" prebuilt archetype, which shows the detective caressing the Necktie (as it tends to become a prominent character in builds prioritising PSY), with it being bright orange and having a consistent paisley print. Kim also references the tie being orange in one specific line of dialogue in his Debriefing scene at the end of the first day, when complimenting the player on their shoes - "I like the green. Goes with the orange."
It seems very likely that the role of the Scab Leader/Kortenaer was written with his original voice actor, Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman, in mind; Korty's incompetent failson Sociopathic Soldier personality is in line with Felix's comic persona and obsession with modern military culture, and he's a Comic-Book Fantasy Casting of longtime Chapo enemy Peter Daou. In the Final Cut dub, where Korty is voiced by Mack McGuire, he still keeps his resemblance to Daou without the Casting Gag to make sense of it, making it seem like a weird detail.

Ministry side project 1000 Homo DJs recorded a cover of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut" featuring Trent Reznor on vocals. Reznor was having a contract dispute with his label, TVT, and they refused to allow the song to be released. Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen re-recorded the vocal part himself. note There is an urban legend that instead of re-recording the part, Jourgensen added additional distortion to Reznor's part and just claimed that he re-recorded it. Jourgensen has long denied this, even after the threat of legal action was past. The version with Reznor's vocal was eventually released, after TVT acquired the rights to 1000 Homo DJs' recordings.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
In the E3 2018 reveal trailer, Edelgard was voiced by Cristina Valenzuela. By the time Nintendo's Fire Emblem Direct aired in early February 2019, she had been replaced by Tara Platt for unknown reasons. For a long time, it was speculated that this was due to Valenzuela breaking the NDA. note Revealing their role before it was allowed by the developer. However, it was later revealed that the recasting was amicable; something changed Nintendo's mind on the story direction and thought a change of English voice actress was needed for it.
Male Byleth was voiced by Chris Niosi in both Three Houses and Fire Emblem Heroes. After his own indiscretions with the NDA, his lines were scrubbed from Heroes and he was replaced by Zach Aguilar, with his replacement voice lines included in Update 3.7.1 in Heroes, and Patch 1.0.2 in Three Houses. Aguilar has voiced Male Byleth in all appearances since.

Kingdom Hearts:
For a strange example of this happening with a Universal-Adaptor Cast, the original Kingdom Hearts was originally written so that Rikku, from Final Fantasy X, would appear as Leon's assistant, and Vincent, from Final Fantasy VII, would be Hades's undead champion. For various reasons,note Which included concerns that it would be too confusing to have both a Riku and a Rikku in the game, and a decision that Vincent was too dark to fit into the Disney setting. the roles were recast with the Final Fantasy VII characters Yuffie and Cloud. This is still noticeable in Yuffie's costume, which is a variation of Rikku's outfit from her original appearance; and while Cloud's costume was more revised, it is an obvious amalgam of his and Vincent's costumes from their original appearances.
Some of the Updated Re-release compilations of the games replace a voice actor’s performance from the one game to maintain vocal consistency with the character’s appearance in another game in the compilation:
Although the late Christopher Lee returned as The Original Darrin for DiZ Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Corey Burton redubbed his lines for the Days cutscene movie in the I.5 HD ReMIX to remain consistent with Burton’s performance as the character in Re:Chain of Memories. This is averted with Mickey Mouse, whose single scene in the Days movie contains both Wayne Allwine’s last performance as the character from the game’s original English release and a movie-exclusive extension voiced by Bret Iwan.
For the II.5 version of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the Mysterious Figure Optional Boss’s Voice Grunting by David Gallagher is replaced with recordings from Ben Diskin, who has been his main voice actor since his starring role (finally revealed as Young Xehanort) in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance].
Pierre Taki, Olaf's original Japanese voice actor, was patched out of Kingdom Hearts III following his drug arrest less than two months after the game's release.
Due to Rutger Hauer passing away before he could record his lines for the Re:Mind DLC of Kingdom Hearts III, Master Xehanort was recast as Christopher Lloyd for that DLC episode, providing not only new lines exclusive to the DLC, but new takes to some of the dialogue Hauer had already performed.

With The Phantom of the Opera Steve Harley, a UK singer trying to make a comeback, was in running for the role of the Phantom — so much so that he recorded the original single of the "Phantom of the Opera" title song. However, the tone and the musical style of the show changed considerably after this, and he was sacked just before rehearsals began and replaced with Michael Crawford. Needless to say, the comeback never happened.
