Randolph Mantooth, famous for playing Firefighter Paramedic Johnny Gage in the TV show Emergency, played two different characters on the TV show Adam-12.

In Season 3, he played Neil Williams, an employee of a ride stable who is falsely accused of theft.

In Season 5, he returns as his Emergency character, Johnny Gage, in a crossover episode.

https://cdnmetv.metv.com/0wDvG-1604703658-3261-blog-adam12_emergency_crossover.jpg

That's not the only Adam-12 / Emergency crossover.

The two actors from Adam-12, Martin Milner and Kent McCord, appear in an Emergency episode as their Adam-12 characters, Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, respectively. In a later episode of Emergency, Johnny Gage spends most of the shift distraught because they were called out to a rescue in the midst of an episode of the TV show Adam-12. So, the Adam-12 characters exist in the Emergency universe as both LAPD cops and fictional cops on TV.

Just figured this out.  The German officer in Force 10 from Navarone that was Barbra Bach's lover was the same actor that played the German officer in the tank in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

He also played the English soldier that tried to rape Mel Gibson's wife in Braveheart

Chris Latta had a unique voice and really didn't change it at all for those two characters. I feel like everybody who watched both shows would've known that.

Talented voice actors do that. I mean Frank Welker was Fred in Scooby-Doo, but also Megatron. Oh, and Curious George. When it comes to voice actors it's not hard to find very disjoint characters.

I just found it odd that the guy with a very distinctive voice used the exact same voice for two very similar villain characters and it wasn't obvious to anybody familiar with the two shows.

I'm surprised she hasn't gotten shit for brownface. She showed up to the audition thinking the part was an illegal laborer. Hence Paxton's illegal aliens joke.

John Turturro is one like that too. The comedy roles are a little more obvious, like Jesus in lebowski and the butler in Mr Deeds, but it took me a while to realize he's also Knish in rounders

Barton Fink is also one of my favorite movies, and he's great in it

Jean Claude Van Damme was originally going to the Predator in Predator but his costume wasn't imposing (Van Damme is actually a not a big beefy dude) and he kept messing it up trying to do martial arts roundhouse kicks while it in.

Gary Oldman is definitely one of my favorite actors, and quite possibly the GOAT.

I've not seen a SW flick since i lost interest after the one with ewoks. The Isaac guy has been in a lot of films, for sure.
