Line 33:
* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes a Game of Shadows]]'', part of Moriarty's plot turns out to involve having one of his underlings undergo surgery to impersonate a diplomat at an important peace conference.
== [[Live
* ''[[Alias]]'': One faction of bad guys can do this; they kill Sidney's best friend Francine and replace her with a duplicate.
* ''[[Get Smart]]'': In one of the many [[Spot the Imposter]] episodes, master impersonator Alexi Sebastian has his face altered to look like [[Da Chief]].
* In the ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.|The Man from UNCLE]]'' episode "The Double Affair," a THRUSH agent gets Magic Plastic Surgery and voice training to look and sound like Napoleon Solo so he can replace him and sabotage UNCLE affairs.
* An assassin in ''[[24]]'' does this by impersonating a photographer and stealing his identity to get through security.
* ''[[Knight Rider]]'' (the original 1980s series): As part of his [[Origin Story]], Michael Long received plastic surgery to change his looks. It wasn't until much later that he discovered he'd been made identical to Wilton Knight's estranged criminal son Garth.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* In ''[[Arsenic and Old Lace]]'', one of the characters is a wanted criminal who had surgery to change his appearance; the surgeon, inspired by a horror movie he'd been watching, gave him the face of [[Boris Karloff]]. (This started out as an [[Actor Allusion]]: in the original production, the actor playing the character ''was'' Boris Karloff.)
