Prison does … funny things to a man.
Tom Conway played Dr. Louis Judd twice. First in Cat People, where the character dies, then later in The Seventh Victim (haven’t seen the movie, maybe he’s a zombie).
There are probably several people playing themselves in multiple movies. Newspeople have done it recently. Chick Hearn, former voice of the LA Lakers, played sports announcers in several movies, sometimes credited as himself, other times as just ‘announcer’. There must be many celebrities who fit in this category of playing themselves.
The full theory includes James Bond not being his his real name, or else there wouldn’t be so many different Bonds. The name comes with the job. After no longer being 007, he would no longer be able to use that name.
With those three projects, effectively yes, so you can put the roll-eyes away.
Gene Hackman is pretty much the same character in The Conversation and *Enemy of the State

Robert Patrick played the T-1000 in: Terminator 2, Waynes World, and Jingle All the Way.
If you can come up with three movies that are more different, I’ll be floored.
I think you mean The Last Action Hero, not Jingle All the Way. He also played it in the Universal Studios attraction and onvideo games. I’m not sure of the details on all of these to know if they’re related or not.
I was sitting here all discouraged because I could not remember a t1000 in Jingle All The Way. I figured old-age was kicking my butt worse than usual this morning.
E.G. Marshall as the President of the United States of America.
Well, technically, I guess they were all different characters: Eisenhower, Truman, Grant, Lincoln, Washington. But I am fairly certain that, when Richard Donner cast Marshall as “The President” in Superman II, Donner was thinking of Marshall’s earlier performances.
In the 1980s, a number of comedy films finished off their credits list with the line, “and E.G. Marshall as the President”.
Gary Sinise played George Wallace in a TV movie of the same name, and also portrayed the governor in HBO’s Path to War.
Lon Chaney Jr and Boris Karloff reprising “The Wolfman” and “The Monster” in an episode of “Route 66”. You can add Chaney playing the Wolfman in an Abbott and Costello movie.
Arrgh, my mistake. :smack:
Helen Mirren has played at least eight different queens, so she’s in a very similar boat.
