ITT: Actors playing multiple roles within the same franchise
Albert Popwell. The black from Dirty Harry who plays a different character with a role that gets slightly bigger in each of the first 4 movies.
Popwell was the wounded bank robber at the receiving end of Eastwood's iconic "Do you feel lucky?" monologue from Dirty Harry (1971).[3] He was a murderous pimp in Magnum Force (1973),[2] appeared as militant Big Ed Mustapha in The Enforcer (1976)[2] and as Harry's detective colleague Horace King in Sudden Impact (1983).[1] In 1988, Popwell was offered a role in The Dead Pool, the last film in the series, but could not appear due to a scheduling conflict.
I remember thinking he was Danny Glover when I was younger lel, he was actually pretty great in all of those movies.
Charles Gray in Diamonds Are Forever and You Only Live Twice
very confusing if you watch DAF first
>oh no that's Blofled
>wait no?
is "IMG_xxxx" a common filename or do I keep seeing the same anon on several boards?
Extremely uncommon, it must be the same guy. Theres no way in the world two people could have a filename like that.
I know you're being sarcastic but I just haven't noticed that type of filename before. what device generates it?
phones, both iphone and android usually put file names in that format.
the guy in the mad max movies
This irks me but they’ve been tastefully silent on what fury road actually IS in relation to the other films and I’m fine with it.
You can tell yourself that he is a severely wounded Toecutter, decades later, and that Max is actually the feral child from Road Warrior: but it’s entirely speculative.
You can also just say that he’s still Max and it’s one of a series of adventures involving him and the Immortan is a completely different character played by a familiar face as a fun callback.
Also from Mad Max 2 & 3.
Lee Van Cleef in For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly probably the most famous case
Every guest star on Law and Order
They didn't even wait for a spinoff, they just cast the same guy again for another role in a later season
He's friends with the guy who made it, and they just said frick it.
I really like him btw, whatever happened to him?
he’s a good actor
I felt like such I moron when I didn't recognize him the second time around. God i need to watch this show again
Arnie in terminator
I think he plays 4 different terminators and 1 of them a CGI version of him
>double agent
classic glowie
Why do off duty/retired cia operators always get portrayed as sleezy dudes wearing Hawaiian Shirts in bumfrick nowhere?
Another Bond one would be Maud Adams. She plays Scaramanga's mistress in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and then the titular Octopussy in Octopussy (1983).
Before he became the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi played a character in the Tenth Doctor Who era and also another character in the DW-related show Torchwood. Before he became the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker played a different character in the Fifth-era.
In s4 ep1 he was the murderer. Later around s16 he became the new Barnaby.
Also Gino and Vito from sopranos
I love it when they do things like that. Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager did a lot of that as well.
Cillian Murphy in Nolan's Batman trilogy
>Plays Dr. Jonathan Crane, the secondary antagonist in Batman Begins
>Small role in The Dark Knight as some unnamed drug dealer during the copycat scene
>Returns in TDKR as Dr. Crane
Are you moronic?
not my diagnosis
The Bond series has a bunch of these.
Shane Rimmer (the captain in TSWLM) was in several Bonds.
Mitchell (the MI6 turncoat in QOS that Bond kills in Italy) was also a henchman at the end of CR.
the mission: impossible tv series is notorious for reusing actors as the villains. there were like a half dozen that they kept recycling.
Peter Capaldi played random episodic characters in doctor who before becoming the doctor
We get Gino the civilian and Vito the mobster. However, the Vito character really feels like 3 different characters throughout the show.
Vito the contractor who is connected to the mob. Vito the incompetent made guy. Vito the capable high-earning captain. Kind of boggles the mind.
The guy who plays Sheldon's father in young Sheldon played Leonard's bully in TBBT.
Joe Pesci played both Harry the burglar in Home Alone AND the cop in the opening scene. Most people miss this one but it's a little more obvious when you see they both have his signature gold tooth
Whoa!!1!! No freakin way, dude. You're making it up.
Edit: just checked it and he's right. How could I miss this important detail? Despite this being one of my most watched movie of all time.
Edit 2: wow. Didn't expect so many likes guys. Hi mom. I'm famous.
Edit 3: holy frick Batman (Bale not Affleck) thanks for the awards.
