Krem Penk Brunt Tiron Officer Mulkahey I think Vaughn Armstrong even beats out Combs for the number of Trek characters he's played. Cool! I knew he did tons of stuff but I was too lazy to look for everything he did. :lol: |

I guess teh cool thing about these is the fact that they didn't just play different humans, they played different races. :lol:
<b>Majel Barrett</b> Computer Voice Christine Chapel Deanna Troi's Mother <b><u>Capt. Pike's first officer</u></b> <b>Jeffery Combs</b> Commander Shran Weyoun <b><u>Brunt</u></b> <b><u>I think the announcer in the Voyager episode with The Rock</u></b> <b>Gary Graham</b> Vulcan Ambassador Soval Tanis <b>Tony Todd</b> Adult Jake Sisko Kurn Kurtwood Smith also had a role on Voyager and was the president in ST6 Renee notgonnatrytospellhislastname played Colonel West in ST6 and Odo Michael Dorn played what is assumed to be Worf's grandfather or great grandfather in ST6 Patricia Tallman had a few ST roles Tim Russ played what looked to be a regular human, I think on the Enterprise B in Generations and was one of the terrorists stealing trilithium in an episode of TNG Almost any long lasting show ends up with lots of these as the directors and producers end up liking a particular actor so they keep bringing them back At least in ST they can make them different aliens and hide in. Cromwell for example played a lot of roles that I didn't immdediately recognize as being him |
Archie Kao played a casino security guy (or whatever you call the guys who watch the eye-in-the-sky feeds) before moving into the video tech spot at CSI.
I remember the character's name being on his shirt in his debut episode, and it certainly wasn't Johnson, which is his name at CSI. |
Anne Baxter appeared in the '60s Batman series, first as a magician named Zelda, and in the third season, played Olga, Queen of the Cossacks.
Ron Glass appeared on "Sanford and Son" as a card shark who swindles Lamont, and later as an ex-con. Another is Margueritte Ray, who played Fred's cousin's wife and also a prospective tenant for the Sanford Arms apartment. The show tended to re-use a lot of the same actors in various bit parts. |
Jeffrey Tambor had several roles on Three's Company (he's credited with 4 different characters, one of which joined the spin-off "The Ropers" cast). Three's Company did this a lot. Not all are well-known, but you see the same faces pop up over and over again.
Rene O'Connor was one character in Hercules, then became Gabrielle when Xena was spun off from it. |
Nero Wolfe is the best example I can think of.

I remember 2: his 'Ropers' character and the one where he played a shrink. I don't doubt that he played a couple other guest characters. |

Homicide: LotS Law & Order (Homicide cross overs) X-Files The Beat Law & Order: SVU Law & Order: Trial by Jury Arrested Development He is the only actor to play the same character, Detective John Munch, in eight different series: "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993), "Law & Order" (1990), "The X Files" (1993), "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (1999), "The Beat" (2000), "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" (2005), "Arrested Development" (2003) and "Sesame Street" (1969). He appeared on the latter as a Muppet version of the character in a sketch called "Law & Order: Special Letters Unit". He followed John Ratzenberger and George Wendt, who played Cliff Clavin and Norm Peterson respectively in "Cheers" (1982), "St. Elsewhere" (1982), "The Tortellis" (1987), "Wings" (1990), "The Simpsons" (1989) and "Frasier" (1993). |
This happens on Scrubs quite a bit. For example, Mike Schwartz (also a writer on the show) has played Lloyd, a man with an injured hand, a bed pan delivery man and a patient who got his peeps stuck in a flashlight where the batteries go to name a few.
