characters played by more than one actor?
i was thinking of some characters i hate recently and figured they'd be more likable if the actor portraying them were different, and it got me thinking about times this actually happened. i can only think of 2, offhand:
1. topanga's dad in boy meets world. he was played by at least 2 and maybe three actors.
2. claire from my wife & kids. went into the season's end with one actress, came back with another. (great joke in that ep about her only changing her hair
)
any other instances of this happening?

Lloyd Braun from "Seinfeld."
Had one guy play him originally, then when the character came back from his nervous breakdown, he was played by I think Matt McCoy.
"Hmm......nametags - that's a good idea!"

The younger sister (before the baby) Morgan on Boy Meets World was played by two girls. I thought the first one was funny and had character. I barely remember the person who replaced her because she was boring and they never had a storyline for her.
Edit: Lily Nicksay and Lindsay Ridgeway played Morgan.

George Jefferson was played by 2 actors
Lionel Jefferson ws played by 2 actors... One Lionel was kinda uptight(Jefferson's show) and the other was cool(Original Lionel from All in the Family).
slightly off topic but not really...ON M*A*S*H, Harry Morgan played two different characters: He played a crazy General( I think) and Col Potter later in the series

Okay, good topic, because recently I was flipping by and caught an episode of the A-Team. I was an addict as a kid but I don't remember this. Were my ears deceiving me or were they calling a different guy 'Face'? This was one of the last season episodes. Did Dirk Benedict leave the show and get a replacement?

Ok, it's a little scary that you would remember this. The Superboy series isn't exactly the most popular corner of the Superman universe.

Good call. But it's the first episode ('Mexican Slayride'). Tim Dunigan, or as I call him "That Tool From the Pilot," was Faceman in the premiere. Luckily, Cannell got his way and was able to get Benedict back and take the role he was born to play.
Tim Dunigan's title as "Lamest Thing on The A-Team" was mercifully spared, however, when Eddie Velez arrived on the scene as "Dishpan" Frankie Santana for the ugly 5th and final season.

Steven on Dynasty - Al Corley and Jack Coleman.
Fallon on Dynasty - Pamela Sue Martin and Emma Samms
Miss Ellie on Dallas - Barbara Bel Geddes and Donna Reed
Soaps are, of course, notorious for this due to their long runs. Better to narrow it down to prime time soaps.

Actually, I really liked the show and you sure couldn't complain about Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang:
