A guest actor who returns to play more than one character in the same continuity. The use of the same actor for different characters is typically intended to go unnoticed or at least unremarked. Ed Wasser played Shadow minion Morden in Babylon 5 but also appeared in the series pilot as a character credited as Guerra. Since that series was so intricately plotted, fans wondered if the Shadows were influencing events as far back as the pilot. No, said series creator J. Michael Straczynski, they just liked the actor's work in the pilot and cast him in a recurring role. This is such a common occurrence amongst the various incarnations of Law & Order, that fans of that show have come to call those who look familiar "Repeat Offenders". When it is done for a purpose, you have an Identical Stranger, an Identical Grandson, or an Uncanny Family Resemblance. When it isn't done for such a purpose, sharp-eyed fans will assume so anyway. This last effect may be leading to this becoming a Discredited Trope, as Season Fluidity becomes more pronounced and fans complain that seeing the same actor in two different roles breaks the story immersion. For the specific version where an actor appears in a one-off role before returning as a regular character, see Recast as a Regular. Compare Celebrity Paradox, You Might Remember Me from... and Voice-Only Cameo. Contrast with The Other Darrin. Can be Handwaved via Direct Line to the Author. You ALL Look Familiar is not related unless character sprites and models can be considered "guest actors". Acting for Two is similar, but (usually) involves stars rather than B- or C-listers, is a good deal more blatant, and occurs within the same film or episode. |

Albert Popwell, who played the unnamed bank robber for the iconic "Do you feel lucky?" monologue from Dirty Harry, would go on to play a different character in 3 out of the 4 sequels: murderous pimp J.J. Wilson in Magnum Force, black militant Big Ed Mustapha in The Enforcer and Harry's detective colleague Horace King in Sudden Impact. He was offered a role in The Dead Pool, but had to turn it down for scheduling conflicts. | |

Star Trek Online: Jon St. John voices both Chancellor J'mpok and Ambassador B'vat. Marc Biagi voices K'valk and Alexander Rozhenko. Funny one: Dave Rivas voices Va'Kel Shon and Hakeev. That's right: a Torture Technician, Brainwasher, and war criminal extraordinaire has the same voice actor as the Captain of the Starship Enterprise. Seasons 8.5 and 9 added Eric Cooper to Rivas' credits. Denise Crosby reprises both roles she played in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Natasha Yar and Sela. Lani Minella voices Admiral T'nae and, following Majel Barrett's death, the Federation Computer Voice. |

Watch_Dogs: Billy MacLellan portrays Tobias Frewer, a minor character in Watch_Dogs as well as supporting character in the DLC Bad Blood. In Watch_Dogs 2 He portrays Jimmy Siska, an actor whom Marcus is a fan of who is featured in two early operations. note While for most of his appearences MacLellan uses a more confident voice as Siska, this is particularly notable in the cut scene at the start of the final mission of the New Dawn operation, where Siska ends up sounding directly like Frewer. Shawn Baichoo voices Raul Lionzo, a minor character who appears in mission one of Watch Dogs, before going on to play Wrench, one of the main characters of Watch Dogs 2, later reprising this role in Watch Dogs: Legion |

Spider-Man: No Way Home: There are many examples of this in the Latin American Spanish dub: VÃctor Ugarte, the voice of Peter-2, had previously voiced Kurt in the Ant-Man films. Javier OlguÃn, the voice of Peter-3, was also the voice of Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Jesse Conde, who has voiced Stan Lee in all of his MCU cameos, also reprises his role as Norman Osborn / The Green Goblin. Gabriel Pingarrón, who voiced Odin in all of his appearances, also reprised his role as Doctor Octopus. Raúl Anaya, who voiced the older Howard Stark, returned to his role as Flint Marko / Sandman. Salvador Delgado, who voiced Dr. Erik Selvig in Thor and The Avengers (2012), also came back as Electro. |

The dub of Naruto does this a lot: the voice actor for Zabuza, the villain from the first story arc, later voiced Orochimaru, the main villain for most of the series. Deidara's voice actor is the one that voiced two filler character (Idate and Raiga) and Tsunade's dead boyfriend Dan, the voice actors for Sasori's two forms previously voiced Pakkun and borderline background character Genma Shiranui, and Itachi's voice actor (after his short first appearance) was previously Ebisu's. This is probably because the show's cast is so huge nearly every voice actor who would ever work on it has done at least one role by now. | |

Rocky: In Rocky Balboa, James Binns, who plays a boxing commissioner in this film, previously played Rocky's attorney in Rocky V. In the Latin American Spanish dubs, due to the many different dubs of the first five movies, some actors ended up recast in different roles: Blas GarcÃa voiced Apollo Creed in the original dub of Rocky II and would end up voicing the title character himself from Rocky Balboa onwards. Arturo Mercado played a minor role as Mike (the gym employee who tells Rocky his locker is Dippers' now) in the first movie, then he voiced Rocky in the original dub of Rocky II, and ended up voicing Paulie in the Blu-Ray dub of all the movies up to Rocky V. Salvador Delgado voiced Rocky in the original dub of Rocky V and the DVD dubs of the first and third movie before voicing Apollo in the Blu-Ray redubs. Araceli de León voiced Diana Lewis in the original dub of Rocky and would later voice Adrian in Rocky II, Rocky V, and the DVD dubs of the first and third movies. César Arias, who voiced Paulie in Rocky V and the DVD dubs of the first and third movies, voiced Larry Merchant in Rocky Balboa. José Luis Orozco voiced Tony Duke in Rocky V and the referee in the DVD edition of the first movie. Arturo Casanova voiced Rocky in the fourth movie and then George Washington Duke in the fifth. Esteban Siller voiced Paulie in the original dub of the first movie, and then Mickey in the second one. Miguel Angel Sanromán voiced the rabbi at Mickey's funeral in Rocky III, before voicing Mickey himself in the DVD dub of the same movie. |

DC Animated Universe: Similar to the Futurama example above, the exact same character design was used for the villainous Weather Wizard in the Superman: The Animated Series crossover episode with the Flash and for the Inspector Javert-type Agent Bennett in the Batman Beyond backdoor pilot for The Zeta Project. As an in-joke to this, one of Bennett's subordinates in The Zeta Project, Agent West, shares a similar appearance, voice, mannerisms, and last name to the Flash (Wally West). Justice League would see Phil Morris and Virginia Madsen, who later become the respective voice actors for Vandal Savage and Roulette, cast in the episode "The Brave and the Bold" as a gorilla general interrogating the League when they come to Gorilla City and a scientist helping Grodd respectively. |

Claudia Cardinale who Other Darrins the role of Maria Gambrelli in Son of the Pink Panther had previously played the Princess in The Pink Panther (1963). |

The View Askewniverse films of Kevin Smith often feature this trope due to Smith's working with many of the same actors in his films: Jason Lee is quite possibly the poster child when it comes to Smith's work, appearing as Brodie Bruce in Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Banky Edwards in Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the demon Azrael in Dogma, and Lance Dowds in Clerks II. Ben Affleck as Shannon Hamilton in Mallrats, Holden McNeil in Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, the angel Bartleby in Dogma, and as himself in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Matt Damon as the angel Loki in Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, as himself in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and as a cartoon studio executive in Chasing Amy. Brian O'Halloran as Dante Hicks in Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Gill Hicks in Mallrats, and Grant Hicks in Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, all three characters confirmed by Word of Silent Bob to be cousins. Like Affleck and Damon before him in Strike Back, O'Halloran also appears in Reboot as himself, and he appeared alongside Damon as a cartoon studio executive in Chasing Amy. Joey Lauren Adams as Gwen Turner in Mallrats, and Alyssa Jones in Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Smith's wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith as Missy in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Emma Bunting in Clerks II, and Miss McKenzie in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot confirms that Zack and Miri Make a Porno is set in this universe, making this trope the case with Jeff Anderson's Randal Graves from Clerks, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and his character of Deacon from Zack and Miri. Chris Rock as Rufus in Dogma and as Chaka Luther King in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Dwight Ewell as Hooper X in Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and as Kane in Dogma. Smith's longtime producer and friend Scott Mosier, and his friends Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson, all play multiple small characters across Smith's films. Additionally, actors who have appeared as larger characters in one film, such as Rosario Dawson, George Carlin, and Craig Robinson, have made cameos as different characters in later films. |

In Brazil and Italy, the dubbing directors of Total Drama almost never reuse the old contestants' voice actors. But when they do (Sadie/Ella and Shawn/Devin in Brazil; Amy/Jen, Samey/Ellody, Ella/Miles, and Sky/Tammy in Italy) it sticks out like a sore thumb. Hebrew is the most painful example, apart from Poland and Hungary. For example in the later series: Lindsay became Dawn (later Sanders/Sky); Staci is Heather; Brody is Harold; Ryan and Pete were already Duncan, Chef Hatchet, Sam, and TDPI!Leonard; RR!Noah is Topher; Kitty and Emma are Amy and Samey note As a bonus, both actresses swapped roles, with Amy being really nice, whilst Samey is cold towards her sister.; Josee is Leshawna and Blaineley; Devin is Trent; Spud and Gerry are Alejandro, Brick and Max; and Lorenzo being Dave and Cody. Hungary itself makes sure that no two contestants in the same season have the same voice actor, with Don notably stepping up from Justin. Other second comings include Eva (before her elimination) turning into Jo, Anne Maria into Sugar and Laurie, Dawn into Scarlett and Jen, Tyler into Shawn, Staci into Kelly, Courtney into Josee, Bridgette into Ellody, Lindsay into Stephanie, Scott into Rock, Samey into Carrie, Dave into Devin, Harold into Tom, Lightning into Spud, Izzy into Taylor, Sam into Pete, and Max replacing Leonard's unknown actor. Poland disregarded this rule, with Leonard leading the way as Cody (later Scott and Max), Anne Maria becoming Samey and Amy; Dawn becoming Crimson and Laurie and Courtney becoming Mary and Stephanie. Other than that, Sierra becomes Dakota; Izzy was Staci; Zoey gets promoted to Scarlett and Miles; Mike steps up as Don; Brick becomes Jacques; Katie becomes Ella; Topher becoming Rock; Sugar becoming Jen; and Lindsay becoming Ellody. The Romanian dub isn't any better, with Ridonculous Race being the only installment of the franchise which averts this trope. Owen becomes All-Stars Mike, Heather becomes Zoey for the first episodes of season 4 and is later replaced by Lindsay, Izzy becomes Anne-Maria, Alejandro becomes season 4 Mike, and Cody becomes Cameron (which becomes Hilarious in Hindsight in season 5). The most egregious example is Pahkitew Island, where nearly every character shares their voice actors with a previous character. Sky is Jo, Jasmine is All-Stars Gwen, Ella is All-Stars Courtney, Sugar and Scarlett are Izzy, Anne-Maria and All-Stars Sierra, Max is Scott and Leonard and Shawn are Owen and All-Stars Mike. The Russian dub is not immune to this either. With Mike having save VA as Chris, Lightning sharing VA with Duncan, Cameron sharing his VA with Owen, Scott with Chef and Trent. In Pahkitew Island the director of dub became different, and such, Chris' new VA also voiced Owen in Ridonculous Race. |

In Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, Santa Claus is voiced by Mickey Rooney (who previously voiced him in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town and The Year Without a Santa Claus), while the evil sorcerer Winterbolt, who wants to usurp him, is voiced by Paul Frees, who voiced Santa in Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph's Shiny New Year, and a few other Rankin/Bass specials. In effect, this makes Rudolph and Frosty a battle of the Rankin/Bass Santas! | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Senator Mon Mothma and Senator Mina Bonteri are both close friends of Padmé and voiced by Kath Soucie (who had also played one of Cut Lawquane's children in one episode earlier). While they don't interact onscreen and Mothma only speaks for about three of her appearances while Bonteri is a One-Shot Character, the novel Queen's Shadow indicates that they're rivals (namely because Mothma believes in the Republic, while Bonteri does not and ultimately joins the Separatists), and Padmé thinks that the two women are similar. Robin Atkin Downes plays Cham Syndulla and Senator Rush Clovis, both of whom were supposed to be one-shot characters, but Cham appeared in another episode and Clovis would return for three more episodes. Cham would later appear a couple of times in Rebels and The Bad Batch. The fact that Cham speaks in a Twi'lek accent helps disguise it. |

The MMO The Matrix Online had an example that was both this and The Other Darrin. As the game was an official continuation of the Matrix films, several characters from the movies made appearances in expository cutscenes, and the producers managed to get several actors from the cast of the movies to reprise their roles. Jada Pinkett Smith wasn't one of them, so Niobe ended up being voiced by Gina Torres, who had previously played Dozer's widow Cas in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. | |

The James Bond films: Martine Beswick played Zora, the Romani woman who gets into a fight, in From Russia with Love and Paula Caplin, the CIA agent who takes a Cyanide Pill when captured, in Thunderball. This gets lampshaded in the Irregular Webcomic! parody of From Russia with Love. Charles Gray played British agent Dikko Henderson in You Only Live Twice before returning as the arch-villain Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever. Shane Rimmer played the Hawaii radar operator in You Only Live Twice, the person in charge of Willard Whyte's laboratory in Diamonds Are Forever and a U.S. nuclear submarine captain in The Spy Who Loved Me. Walter Gotell played SPECTRE agent trainer Morzeny in From Russia with Love before he played General Anatol Gogol starting in The Spy Who Loved Me and ending at The Living Daylights. Robert Brown played Admiral Hargreaves in The Spy Who Loved Me, and later took over the role of M starting in Octopussy, after Bernard Lee passed away during the filming of For Your Eyes Only. It is not known if Hargreaves and Brown's M are the same character, though it's very plausible. Maud Adams appearing as Bond Girl Andrea Anders in The Man with the Golden Gun before returning as the titular Octopussy. Mary Stävin appeared in Octopussy as one of Octopussy's girls and also in A View to a Kill as Kimberley Jones, a MI6 agent. Joe Don Baker played villain Brad Whitaker in The Living Daylights before returning as CIA agent Jack Wade in GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. |

Dollars Trilogy: In the Spaghetti Western For a Few Dollars More, Lee Van Cleef played the Bounty Hunter Colonel Douglas Mortimer, who worked as the protagonist's ally. In the prequel/sequel, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, he played the villain Angel Eyes Sentenza. (The director originally wanted to use another actor - possibly Charles Bronson - for the latter but was turned down. He then reportedly decided it would be fun to cast Van Cleef as a Smug Snake since he'd already used him as a heroic character.) Of course, whether those movies are even in the same continuity remains ambiguous at best. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Of course, we have all the Stan Lee cameos. Enver Gjokaj portrayed a cop in The Avengers and then portrayed Daniel Sousa in Agent Carter and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The producers joked that Sousa is the cop's grandfather, while fans speculated that Sousa would use time-traveling shenanigans from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to end up in The Avengers. Alfre Woodard portrayed Miriam Sharpe in Captain America: Civil War and Mariah Dillard in Luke Cage. Laura Haddock portrayed Star-Lord's mother Meredith in Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel, as well as an autograph-seeker during the "Star Spangled Man With a Plan" montage in Captain America: The First Avenger. Director James Gunn has joked that the autograph-seeker was Meredith's mom. Damion Poitier cameoed as Thanos in The Avengers (before Josh Brolin was recast as the characters for future films) and one of Crossbones' henchmen in Captain America: Civil War. Kenneth Choi portrayed Private Jim Morita in Captain America: The First Avenger, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.note In a flashback and Agent Carter, and Principal Morita in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Justified as the latter one is the former's grandson. Martin Starr portrayed a pizza-loving computer geek in The Incredible Hulk and Peter's teacher Mr. Harrington in Spider-Man: Homecoming, plus its sequels. Kevin Feige later said he considers both characters to be the same person. J.B. Smoove portrayed the driving instructor in the Spider-Man: Homecoming Audi commercial, and returned in Spider-Man: Far From Home as Mr. Dell. This isn't a coincidence, as the people working on Far From Home enjoyed his performance enough that they wanted to work Smoove into a proper movie role and wrote Dell with Smoove in mind. Matt Gerald portrayed White Power Dave in All Hail the King and Melvin Potter in Daredevil. Tony Curran portrayed Thor's grandfather Bor in the prologue of Thor: The Dark World. He later appeared as Finn Cooley in season 2 of Daredevil, then as Derrik in Secret Invasion. Clancy Brown played Colonel Schoonover a.k.a. The Blacksmith in Season 2 of Daredevil and the first season of The Punisher, and also did the voice work for Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok. Tim Guinee played a bit part in Iron Man and Iron Man 2 as U.S. Air Force Major Allen, before appearing in the first season of The Punisher as Clay Wilson. Mahershala Ali, who played Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes in Season 1 of Luke Cage, will also be playing the titular character in the upcoming Blade reboot. Peter Mensah, who had a minor role as General Joe Greller in The Incredible Hulk, later appeared in a recurring capacity as the alien Qovas in Season 5 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Gemma Chan played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel before going on to the much larger role of Sersi in Eternals. Patrick Brennan played Blackout in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a bartender in Captain Marvel. Michelle Yeoh cameoed in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as Aleta Ogord before going on to play a more substantial role as Jiang Nan in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Tsai Chin appeared as Melinda May's mother Lian in an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., before appearing in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings as Katy's grandmother Waipo. Imelda Corcoran, who played a scientist in an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., also played Selby, an associate of the Power Broker, in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Patton Oswalt appeared as the Koenigs throughout Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and as Pip the Troll in the post-credits scene of Eternals. Lake Bell voiced Black Widow in What If…? (2021) and portrayed Dr. Graham, the CIA scientist that gets killed by Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Katy O'Brian appeared as a minor villain in the final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before going on to play the freedom fighter Jentorra in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Mikaela Hoover plays Nova Prime's assistant in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and does the voice/motion capture for Floor in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Linda Cardellini plays Laura Barton starting in Avengers: Age of Ultron and does the voice/motion capture for Lylla in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Judy Greer played Maggie Lang in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, then later voiced War Pig in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Miriam Shor played Alisa Jones in a Season 1 episode of Jessica Jones (2015) (before the character was recast with Janet McTeer for Season 2), and played Vim in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Tara Strong voiced Miss Minutes in Loki and also voiced Mainframe in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, replacing Miley Cyrus as the latter from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Nathan Fillion voiced an alien prisoner in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), before appearing as Master Karja in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. note He was also set to appear as Wonder Man in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but his role was cut and later recast for the Disney+ series with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Randall P. Havens played a driving instructor in episode 1 of Ms. Marvel (2022) and Till, an inhabitant of Counter-Earth in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Ebon Moss-Bachrach portrayed Microchip in The Punisher (2017) and was later cast as Ben Grimm/The Thing in the Fantastic Four reboot. According to Mario Castañeda (the Hulk's Mexican Spanish voice actor), Disney has a strict policy of not reusing the foreign voice actors of any of the main characters. This hasn't stopped Netflix from giving Iron Man's European French voice actor (Bernard Gabay) to Daredevil, and Castañeda himself voices Agent Coulson on the Sony Channel's version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. This is because those dubs aren't under Disney's control. Related to the above, before Disney overtook the Brazilian dubbing, there were plenty of cases, originating from respecting who typically voices certain actors (the late Júlio Chaves with Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, and David Hasselhoff - and to avoid the issue that Jorge Lucas is both Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo, the latter was recast starting with Iron Man 3), because it seemed fair game after roles that only lasted one movie (Mauro Ramos was Yinsen in Iron Man before becoming Drax), or how the cosmic and Earth casts rarely got together (which is why Luisa Palomanes is both Darcy Lewis and Mantis - though it caused a problem in an What If...? episode with both Maria Hill and Frigga, forcing the former to get a new voice). And the Netflix side also has overlap - hence Spider-Man: No Way Home starts with Mysterio's archive footage from the previous movie, and then the villain's voice is heard again when Matt Murdock appears. In the Latin American Spanish dub of Ant-Man, Hank Pym is voiced by José Luis Orozco, who dubbed Obadiah Stane back in Iron Man. The European French dub coincidentally did something similar by having the late Patrick Floersheim as both characters. Spider-Man: No Way Home: There are many examples of this in the Latin American Spanish dub: VÃctor Ugarte, the voice of Peter-2, had previously voiced Kurt in the Ant-Man films. Javier OlguÃn, the voice of Peter-3, was also the voice of Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Jesse Conde, who has voiced Stan Lee in all of his MCU cameos, also reprises his role as Norman Osborn / The Green Goblin. Gabriel Pingarrón, who voiced Odin in all of his appearances, also reprised his role as Doctor Octopus. Raúl Anaya, who voiced the older Howard Stark, returned to his role as Flint Marko / Sandman. Salvador Delgado, who voiced Dr. Erik Selvig in Thor and The Avengers (2012), also came back as Electro. |

Mortal Kombat: Ed Boon has voiced Scorpion since the series' inception (though these days he mostly just provides the character's trademark "Get over here!"), but also did the vocal effects for Jax from Mortal Kombat II to Mortal Kombat 4. In the early days of the franchise, the actors would often perform multiple characters. For instance, the male Palette Swapped ninjas (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, etc.) were all performed by Daniel Pesina in the first two games and John Turk in the third, while the female ninjas (Kitana, Jade and Mileena) were portrayed by Katalin Zamiar in Mortal Kombat II and Becky Gable in 3. Pesina was also Johnny Cage until the character was recast in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Richard Divizio portrayed Kano in the first three games, as well as Baraka in II, Kabal and Noob Saibot in 3, and Quan Chi and Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. Steve Blum played Sub-Zero, Baraka, and Reptile in Mortal Kombat X, though the latter two characters were recast in subsequent installments. Kelly Hu voiced D'Vorah, Sindel and Frost in Mortal Kombat X, though the latter two characters were recast in Mortal Kombat 11. She would later voice Li Mei in Mortal Kombat 1. |

Wrestler turned actor Pat Roach played no less than three different strongmen that tussled with Indy - a Sherpa whom Indy fought in Marion's bar and the Luftwaffe mechanic who dies via propeller arc, both in Raiders of the Lost Ark, as well as the Thugee overseer killed when his clothing gets caught in a rock crusher in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. | |

DC Extended Universe: Samantha Win portrayed Car-Vex, one of General Zod's followers in Man of Steel, and the Amazon Euboa in Wonder Woman and Justice League. Though he doesn't appear in person, the US President in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is voiced by Patrick Wilson, who later played King Orm in Aquaman (2018). The female art thief Wonder Woman nabbed at the end of Justice League (theatrical version only) was played by Caitlin Burles, who previously portrayed an Amazonian guard in Wonder Woman. Mayling Ng played an Amazon in Wonder Woman, and then Mongal in The Suicide Squad. |

In Ben 10, Kari Wahlgren appeared in the What If? episode "Gwen 10" briefly as the voice of Gwen as Grey Matter before voicing Charmcaster. The same episode sees Vanessa Marshall as Gwen as Diamondhead and Four Arms and Grey DeLisle as Gwen as Heatbeast. The former would later appear as Tini in "The Galactic Enforcers", Gwen as Cannonbolt in "A Change of Face", and as Myaxx in Secret of the Omnitrix and the latter as Xylene in "The Visitor". | |

Writer-director John Alan Schwartz played various different roles throughout the Faces of Death series, usually some kind of criminal. In the first film, he played the leader of a flesh-eating cult, then a would-be convenience store robber in the second, followed by a serial killer on trial during the third film. For the fourth film, he decided to play one of the good guys for a change and cast himself as an ambulance driver. | |

Futurama would often intentionally (or lazily) reuse background character prototypes, giving the same design, voice, and attitude to them, in completely different roles and situations. The lazy fat-guy tattooed-art trucker, or the old lady stockholder who loved her cat, for example. One such background character, a bald man with a "9" on his shirt, became a major character in the fourth direct-to-DVD movie. So much so, that they have their own names and backstories. The trucker is Sal and the old lady is Hattie. |

The original Japanese versions of both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z did this several times, as a seiyuu would voice a minor character character and then return several episodes later now voicing a major role. Notable cases include Toshio Furukawa voicing General Blue and later Piccolo, Takeshi Aono voicing Murasaki and later both Demon King Piccolo and Kami, Ryūsei Nakao voicing Tamborine and later Freeza, Ryō Horikawa reprising one of his roles from Doctor Slump and then going onto voice Vegeta, and Takeshi Kusao voicing Pigero and then later voicing Trunks. The English dub also does this: Dameon Clarke, the voice of Cell, also provided the voice of the Gohan from Future Trunks's timeline in Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks. Kyle Hebert provided various voices in the original Dragon Ball, including the Ox-King and General White, before voicing Gohan starting with the Majin Saga (as well as taking over as narrator and Darrining for Future Gohan in video games). Laura Bailey, similarly, was cast as the kid version of present-day Trunks before being cast as the younger version of Chi-Chi and others in the original Dragon Ball. Greg Ayres began voicing Ginyu Force member Guldo before being cast as Frost in Dragon Ball Super. The Mexican dub is full of these examples. The most notorious being Laura Torres, who provided the voice of kid Goku on Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT, and Kid Gohan's and Goten's voices in Dragon Ball Z. Carlos Segundo provides voices for Piccolo Daimao, Piccolo Jr., Kami-Sama, Mr. Popo and Bandages the Mummy through the whole franchise. Mario Castañeda first voiced the young version of Muten Roshi in a flashback before becoming a celebrity in Mexico for being the voice of adult Goku throught the whole franchise (excluding Kai). Ricardo Brust provided the voices of Cell, Broly, Mr. Satan, Cooler, Olibu and Mutchy Mutchy through the whole franchise (excluding Kai, again). |

Related to the above, before Disney overtook the Brazilian dubbing, there were plenty of cases, originating from respecting who typically voices certain actors (the late Júlio Chaves with Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, and David Hasselhoff - and to avoid the issue that Jorge Lucas is both Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo, the latter was recast starting with Iron Man 3), because it seemed fair game after roles that only lasted one movie (Mauro Ramos was Yinsen in Iron Man before becoming Drax), or how the cosmic and Earth casts rarely got together (which is why Luisa Palomanes is both Darcy Lewis and Mantis - though it caused a problem in an What If...? episode with both Maria Hill and Frigga, forcing the former to get a new voice). And the Netflix side also has overlap - hence Spider-Man: No Way Home starts with Mysterio's archive footage from the previous movie, and then the villain's voice is heard again when Matt Murdock appears. | |

In the Latin American Spanish dub of Ant-Man, Hank Pym is voiced by José Luis Orozco, who dubbed Obadiah Stane back in Iron Man. The European French dub coincidentally did something similar by having the late Patrick Floersheim as both characters. | |

It isn't uncommon for voice actors who played characters in the Trails Series to voice a different character in a later game: In The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure, Hidehiko Kaneto, who voiced Kurt Nadin in the Trails in the Sky games, voiced Joachim Guenter in Zero. Likewise, Tetsu Inada, the voice of Zin Vathek in Sky, played Sigmund Orlando in Azure. Hiromi Nishikawa, who played in Luciola in the Sky games, also voiced Scarlet in the first two Trails of Cold Steel games. Meanwhile, Takahiro Fujimoto, Naomi Shindo, and Daisuke Hirakawa, who voiced Ian, Sonya, and Cao in the Evolution ports of Zero and Azure, were cast as Vulcan, Angelica, and Rufus respectively. With the Evolution ports of Sky games providing voices to characters who didn't have them before, Yasunori Masutani (Henry MacDowell in Zero Evolution) and Takahiro Fujimoto (the aforementioned Ian and Vulcan) were respectively cast as Klaus and Kyle. As of Cold Steel III, the series generally has this trope overlap with Acting for Two; with characters from previous arcs coming back more frequently, it made sense to have some of the returning actors double-up on roles to save time and resources. |

In the Ugandan low-budget action flick Bad Black, the actor who played the late protagonist of Who Killed Captain Alex? also plays a cop who is killed by the bank robber "Swaaz" (short for Schwarzenegger) in a shootout. Lampshaded by narrator/color commentator VJ Emmie: | |

Mercedes McNab, who portrayed the girl scout in The Addams Family, returned to play Wednesday's rival Amanda Buckman in the sequel Addams Family Values. But since the girl scout isn't named and possesses a similar personality as Amanda, it wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that they are the same character. | |

Bolt: Lampshaded In-Universe when the New York City pigeons try to figure out where they've seen Bolt before. It turns out they're extremely bad at picking up clues. Two buses with his likeness stop to their left and they still haven't figured it out! And we last see the birds, they continue trying to figure out where they've seen Bolt before while perched on a huge billboard with his picture on it, still completely unaware it's him! | |

Kingdom Hearts: Notably averted with Mandy Moore, who plays Aerith, but she does not return as Rapunzel for her debut in Kingdom Hearts III. Referenced with Ray Chase, the voice of Noctis, who voices the Master of Masters. Though Noctis has yet to appear in the series yet was popularly demanded to appear in Kingdom Hearts III, an in-universe fictional expy of him does and may have a connection to the Master of Masters. |

In Hitman 2, Ort-Meyer is not voiced by Kerry Shale as he did in Codename 47, instead he is voiced by Richard Teverson. In a curious twist, Shale is also voice acting in this game; he voices Carl Ingram, and continues to do so in Hitman 3, so this change seems to have been motivated by wanting to avoid player confusion when major story characters speak, as they are given unique voice actors not normally heard in the games. | |

Quite a few if not all voice actors in the Lupin III franchise had voiced some characters from time to time. Here's an example: Atsuko Tanaka has voiced several unrelated characters across the franchise. She was Karen Korosky in the Voyage to Danger special, Kaoru in Angel Tactics, Cicciolina in The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, and Elena Gotti in Blue Jacket. Chikao Ohtsuka had voiced some but not all characters in between the anime and films. He was Zenigata in the pilot film, Goemon in Part 1, and Kowalski in Legend of the Gold of Babylon. Chikao's son Akio Ōtsuka had previously played inconsequential roles in the series prior to succeeding Kiyoshi Kobayashi as Daisuke Jigen in Part 6 onwards including Andy in the Alcatraz Connection TV special and Chris in the Farewell to Nostradamus feature film. TarÅ� Ishida voiced Count Cagliostro in The Castle of Cagliostro and Terry Crown in Alcatraz Connection. |
