Line 23:
[[You All Look Familiar]] is not related, unless character sprites and models can be considered "guest actors."
{{examples}}
== Actors who appear as guest actors in multiple roles ==
Line 112 ⟶ 111:
* ''[[Space: 1999]]'' had [[Brian Blessed]] play two different characters in two different seasons.
* On ''[[McCloud]]'', Sam apparently doesn't notice that he falls for characters played by [[Jaclyn Smith]] at least three times.
* This is even lampshaded in the ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'' episode "Old Friends, New Planets". When Nicholas Locarno — disgraced former Starfleet cadet, terrorist leader and [[Big Bad]] of season 4 — opens communications with the Cerretos to make his demands, several members of the crew can't help but mention how much he looks like Tom Paris. Indeed, this is a [[Mythology Gag]], as in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Next Generation]]'' both Locarno and Tom Paris were played by [[Robert Duncan McNeill]], who reprises the role as Locarno's VA here.
== Actors who play roles as guest actors, then return in other roles as regular actors ==
Line 281:
* On ''[[Bewitched]]'', before he became better known as Dr. Bombay, Bernard Fox played Osgood Rightmire, a witch hunter; and Paul Lynde—Uncle Arthur—guest starred as Samantha's driving instructor.
* Jonathan Winters played Mindy's aunt on ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'' a couple of years before joining the cast as Mearth.
* ''[[Made in Canada]]'':
** A Film/Theater professor in an earlier episode later is seen as reoccurring character as the gay actor who plays the parson from Beaver Creek.
** [[Gordon Pinsent]] appears as Walter Franklin, the lead actor of Beaver Creek who dies in season 1, and {{spoiler|the business owner who buys and shuts down Pyramid}} in the very last episode.
* On ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', Debbe Dunning played a one-off role in the season two episode "Overactive Glance" before she started playing Heidi in season three.
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' had many cases of this, some more noticeable than others. For example, the actor who played Angela's dad in season 7 also played a college professor in one episode of season 5.
Line 349:
* Andy Griffith appeared in an episode of ''[[Diagnosis: Murder]]'' as Ben [[Matlock]], claiming that he & Dr. Sloan have been very good friends for quite some time. If that is true, how come he never noticed that "the evil" Judge Carter Addison looked exactly like his old friend?
* The ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'' spin-off/SpiritualSequel ''[[Get Him to The Greek]]'' is set in the same universe and once again features [[Russell Brand]] as Aldous Snow...yet he co-stars with Jonah Hill, playing a completely different character than the one he played in the first film.
* Peter Jackson's kids, Billy and Katie, can be seen in all three [[The Lord of the Rings]] movies.
* Ben Healy's bitchy wife in [[Problem Child]] and his love interest in Problem Child 2 are played by the same actress. Oddly, no-one [[Lampshade Hanging|points out the resemblance]].
** It's probably not a coincidence that said actress, Amy Yasbeck, happened to be John Ritter's (who played Ben) real life wife...
