Line 11:
* ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' got together most every possible voice actor who worked on the original series to voice the same character in the [[Re Cut]], both Japanese and English versions. [[Masako Nozawa]] and [[Sean Schemmel]] voice Goku and [[Christopher Sabat]] voices Vegeta. It provided a marked example of [[Vocal Evolution]].
* Inverted in the Japanese version of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', where most of the roles were recast despite only a few years passing after the first anime finished. The English dub, by contrast, uses almost the exact ''same'' cast as [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime)|the 2003 adaptation]].
* Spike Spencer was brought in to reprise his role as Shinji Ikari in the ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' movies, even though he's now a West Coast VA and [[
** And Tiffany Grant still voices Asuka in the second film, though she had already been doing some work for [[
* ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' features a bizarre variation. For the role of Lynn Minmay in their English dub of the show, ADV cast Mari Iijima--''who had voiced the character in the Japanese version more than 20 years prior.''
Line 26:
* When ''[[Charlies Angels]]'' was revived as a film two decades after the series ended, the same actor returned to play Charlie.
* Quite a few ''[[Star Wars]]'' actors from the original movies showed up again for the prequels. Probably the most impressive example is Ian McDiarmid; having played the Emperor under heavy aging makeup in his mid-30s, he ended up being just about the right age to play the younger version with no makeup at all by the time the prequels rolled around. Anthony Daniels also returned as C-3PO. As a respect to the actor who portrayed the shakes and movements of R2-D2, Kenny Baker, they credited him in the prequels although by that time R2 was largely motorized or CG.
* Despite the length of time from the first to the fourth, [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] played John McClane of the New York Police Department in all the ''[[Die Hard (Film)|Die Hard]]'' movies.
* [[Harrison Ford]] plays ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'' in the first three movies (1981, 1984 and 1989), and then reprised the role in the [[Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (Film)|fourth movie]] from 2008. Karen Allen also reprised the role of Marion Ravenwood from the first movie.
* [[Jeffrey Combs]] as Herbert West in ''Beyond [[Re Animator]]''. Explaining in an interview that West had been in prison for 13 years, the interviewer asked Combs if he'd be wearing aging make up. The answer was no, he was actually 13 years older.
Line 48:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum (Video Game)|Batman Arkham Asylum]]'': Kevin Conroy would return to reprise his role of Batman, Mark Hamill would reprise his role of The Joker and Arleen Sorkin would reprise her role of Harley Quinn. The sequel, Arkham City, would only return Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Arleen Sorkin was replaced with [[Tara Strong]].~
** ''[[DC Universe Online]]'' not only brought back Kevin Conroy for Batman and Mark Hamill for the Joker, but also Arleen Sorkin for Harley Quinn. Interestingly, they also brought back [[Corey Burton]] for the voice of Brainiac.
* ''[[Deus Ex Human Revolution (Video Game)|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'': {{spoiler|Cliff Stephens}} reprises his role as {{spoiler|Bob Page}}, 10 years after the release of the original ''[[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]]''.
