This trope is when two actors—or, occasionally, groups of more than two—end up working together over and over for no other reason than because directors think audiences like them. Sometimes, the two are in a Real Life relationship, but that's not the reason why they're cast together; the chemistry that gives them might help, but the essential point is audience appeal. In Hollywood, this trope was more common in the studio era, when most actors and actresses were under contract to a particular studio, and those studios would match them up together repeatedly if they proved a success. It's still common in Bollywood, where jodinote "couple" or "pair" is used to describe costars who frequently play lovers onscreen. This doesn't apply when the actors work together over and over because they're part of a film franchise (like the kids in the Harry Potter movies, for example). See also Double Acts and Groups, Production Posse and Only So Many Canadian Actors. Unrelated to, but may overlap with, Those Two Guys. |

William Gaxton and Victor Moore were already established stars on Broadway in 1931, when they starred in Of Thee I Sing, which began a partnership that lasted for fifteen years. After Of Thee I Sing and its sequel Let 'Em Eat Cake, they starred in the Broadway musicals Anything Goes, Leave It to Me!, Louisiana Purchase, Hollywood Pinafore and Nellie Bly. They also starred with Mae West in the 1943 movie The Heat's On. | |

His two highest-grossing movies (The Sucker and La Grande Vadrouille) were with another French comedy superstar, André Raimbourg, better known as Bourvil. They also played together in La Traversée de Paris (1956) and Poisson d'avril (1954), where De Funès had smaller roles. A third Gérard Oury film, Delusions of Grandeur, was planned to be their fifth together, but it was derailed by Bourvil's death. Yves Montand took his place after his wife Simone Signoret told Oury about him, and the whole story was rewritten to match differences between Montand and Bourvil. | |

British actors tend to work with each other quite a bit. Watch the Harry Potter movies, then watch some other British movies and see how many of the Harry Potter actors appear together in the same movie. It can be all but guaranteed that if a British actor wasn't in a Harry Potter film themselves, they've shared a screen with someone who was — probably several times. This phenomenon has been nicknamed "British Actor Bingo", leading to the common Tumblr wisdom that "Britain has twelve actors, six writers, three locations and ten props." Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility, Love Actually, Judas Kiss, the Harry Potter movies, A Little Chaos, and The Winter Guest (which Alan directed and made a cameo). Thompson also had this during her marriage with Kenneth Branagh: Henry V (1989), Dead Again, Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Peter's Friends, as well as the TV series Fortunes of War (which came before their marriage). They both appeared in the Harry Potter series, but not in the same movie: Branagh's lone appearance as Gilderoy Lockhart was in the second film, while Thompson didn't start playing Sybil Trelawney until the third film. |

Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino also feature Frank Vincent, typically on the receiving end of violence from Pesci's character. Pesci and Vincent previously appeared together in The Death Collector (which got them their Raging Bull gigs after De Niro saw it), and later in Easy Money and Dear Mr. Wonderful, and had been longtime collaborators even before their film careers as musicians and as a Martin and Lewis-style comedy team (Pesci was the Jerry Lewis-type figure). | |
