List of characters played by multiple actors in the same film

This is a list of characters who have been played by multiple actors in the same film. This does not include:

• Stunt doubles/body doubles
• Infants or very young children
• Actors playing a younger/older version of a character in a brief flash-back/flash-forward (However, actors who play the same character at different ages for an extended portion of the movie may be included).
• Large puppets or animatronic characters controlled by multiple performers
• Characters with shape-shifting abilities who are almost always played by one actor except when using their abilities. (e.g. The T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day or Mystique from the X-Men films) Exceptions may be made for characters for whom there is no one "default" actor.

A

• Emani Sledge, Valerie Shusterov, Hannah Freiman, Rachel Corr, Will Denton, Sharon Wilkins, Shayna Levine, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Aviva in Palindromes (2004)

C

• Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina were both cast in the role of Conchita in That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). They switched back and forth during the movie with no apparent pattern. Director Luis Buñuel had originally cast Maria Schneider for the role but could not work with her. When he decided to replace her, he joked about casting two actresses in the role. Producer Serge Silberman liked that idea and suggested Buñuel do it.

G

• Ray Chase and Marina Mazepa as Gabriel in Malignant (2021). Mazepa starred as Gabriel’s physical performer, while Chase voiced the character.
• Verne Troyer and Warwick Davis as Griphook in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). American actor Verne Troyer's lines were dubbed by British actor Warwick Davis, who also played Professor Flitwick in this film (and subsequent Harry Potter films). Davis reprised his role as Griphook (both body and voice) in later instalments.

H

• Kien Shih and Keye Luke as Mr. Han in Enter the Dragon (1973)

Shih's English was very poor, so actor Keye Luke supplied his speaking voice.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger and an uncredited voice actor as Hercules in Hercules in New York (1970)

Schwarzenegger was cast based on his appearance, but the producers were initially unaware of his thick Austrian accent, and dubbed over his voice with a more classical voice actor. Some modern screenings of this have restored Schwarzenegger's voice to the film.

I

• Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell as Imaginarium Tony in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

After the death of Heath Ledger one-third of the way through filming, production was shut down for a few months. Then it was re-started when the three actors agreed to complete Ledger's role.

L

• Jordan Warkol and Elizabeth Daily as Billy "Froggy" Laughlin in The Little Rascals (1994)
• Klinton Spilsbury and James Keach as The Lone Ranger in The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)

Spilsbury had the look, but his voice could not cut it. So, his lines were dubbed over by Keach.

M

• Lorene Yarnell and Joan Rivers as Dot Matrix in Spaceballs (1987)

Yarnell played Dot Matrix in costume, while Rivers provided the speaking voice.

O

• Noah Banks, Elizabeth Daily, Michael Haider, Billy Amman, Cristin Woodworth, and Zack O'Malley Greenburg as Lorenzo Odone in Lorenzo's Oil (1992)

Daily provided Lorenzo's vocal effects.

P

• Harvey Pekar and Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar in American Splendor (2003)

R

• Sean Young, Loren Peta, and a Young sound alike as Rachael’s clone in Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Young’s likeness was imposed upon Peta, who provided the character’s physical appearance. The voice was provided by a sound alike to Young.

S

• Mohamed Belhadjine and Tom Hudson as Mitch-Mitch Simca in The French Dispatch (2021)

Hudson portrayed an actor playing Mitch-Mitch on stage.

• Arnold Johnson and Robert Downey, Sr. as Putney Swope in Putney Swope (1969)

Downey dubbed over Johnson's speaking voice with his own.

T

• Toshishiro Obata and Michael McConnohie as Tatsu in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

V

• David Prowse (physical performance) and James Earl Jones (voice) as Darth Vader in the original Star Wars Trilogy (1977, 1980, 1983)

Sebastian Shaw also played the role of Darth Vader un-masked in Return of the Jedi (1983) for a total of three actors in that film.

James Earl Jones reprised his voice role with Hayden Christensen playing the role in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Jones also reprised this role in Rogue One (2016), with Spencer Wilding and Daniel Naprous in the role of Vader

If all of the primary films in the franchise are counted together, Jake Lloyd from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) can also be counted, bringing the total to seven actors.

W

• Vincent D'Onofrio and Maurice LaMarche as Orson Welles in Ed Wood (1994)

Director Tim Burton was frustrated with D'Onofrio's performance, so he hired LaMarche, known for his near-perfect Orson Welles voice impersonations, to do the voice-over work.
