Kate Winslet and Judi Dench in Iris - both received Oscar nominations, the only time this has happened if I'm not mistaken.

Well, when she's famous, then this'll be a valid example. Otherwise people'd be spouting off a host of unfamous doubles that could potentially become famous.

Keanu Reeves and Robert Ulrich - Young Again

Do TV movies count?

Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness - Star Wars movies

They don't play the same character in the same movie though.

However, due to Lucas SE-ing the films, in Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader is played by Sebastian Shaw, James Earl Jones, and Hayden Christensen (also David Prowse, but he's not famous).

Oh, and in the same vein, Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones in Revenge of the Sith.

Don't worry - I'm sure Lucas will release another re-tampered version with both actors in the same Star Wars flick...

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Bela Lugosi and Tom Mason (the chiropractor of Ed Wood's wife) both play the same role.

(OK, the 2nd one is not such a famous actor)
