Dick Sargent & Dick York played same character on Bewitched.

DJ was also played by a different actor for one episode, which I believe was the pilot.

Harriet on Family Matters was played by a second actress during the final season.

There were two different actresses portraying Gladys Kravitz on 'Bewitched'.

On Happy Days, Richie's older brother Chuck was played by not 1, not 2, but THREE different actors during the first season. He was then unceremoniously written out of the show only to leave us to wonder if Chuck really did exist in the first place.

David Ackroyd originated the role of Gary Ewing on "Dallas", but Ted Shackelford continued the role on "Knots Landing". Really took me a long time to get used to Ted.

Actually George Jefferson was only played by Sherman Hemsley. They did have another actor, Mel Stewart, on All in the Family when the Jeffersons first moved in, but he played Henry Jefferson, George's brother. The producers wanted Sherman Hemsley for the role of George and he wasn't available at the time so they brought in Mel Stewart to play his brother for a few episodes until Sherman Hemsley became available. It was strange that his brother Henry was never seen or mentioned again even on The Jeffersons.

weirdest bump ever?

Re: characters played by more than one actor?
 

No doubt. The fact that it was 9 years ago is strange. But that it was by someone who has been a member for nearly 5 years and hasn't posted since that time makes it extra-bizarre.

Fill us in, rycki. What brought you back to address the long-standing George Jefferson quandary? Also, we've missed you. :wave:

Nine years later this post serves a purpose ... I now understand the "Jimmy was Chuck Cunningham'd" post in the Walking Dead threads. I honestly never knew this.

Re: characters played by more than one actor?
 

Hemsley was on local radio in Philly the other day and this was talked about. Maybe rycki heard that.

anyway to add to the list. the daughter on 'Till Death was played by several actors even from one ep to the next and it became a running bit on the show that was noticed by one character and no one believed him.
