Are these actors playing the same character or not?
These shows all had lookalike actor replacements, but only a few played the exact same character!
When a beloved actor leaves a hit TV show, the producers have two choices: explain the characters disappearance and move on or hire a different actor to play the exact same character and hope audiences don’t care.
While the former choice seems like a better option, especially if a new, similar character is introduced, many classic shows made the latter decision.
Here are 10 pairs of actors from Sixties, Seventies and Eighties television. They all played similar characters on their respective shows but who played the exact same character with the same name and who was a different character just with a similar personality?
