The two Darren's in "Bewitched."

"Yeah, just replace Dick York with Dick Sargent. We'll run the credits fast and nobody'll know the difference."

I always refer to Bewitched as the show with two Dicks.

Kristen Parker (From NOELS Part.III & IV) is played by two different actresses, Patricia Arquette and Tuesday Knight.

I was gonna submit that one. I was like, "They don't look a damn thing alike!!!"

How about Peter Weller being replaced by Robert John Burke in the 3rd Robocop.

Darth Vader - first he was James Earl Jones, then he's...Hayden Christenson. WTF?!?! That really didn't work for me.

That's probably the most convoluted one of all. First he's David Prowse voiced by James Earl Jones (added at the last minute), then he's Sebastian Shaw, then he's Hayden Christensen, then Christensen voiced by Jones, then Shaw got digitally replaced by Christensen, and I'm not even including young Anakin. George Lucas is one decisive fellow.

That and Patricia Arquette can actually act.

The ultimate...The Griswald kids in the Vacation movies. I love how in Vegas Vacation they do an inside joke on that.

Miami Vice had tons of actors, who had parts in 3 or 4 episodes, where they'd play different characters everytime. John Leguizamo played Orlando Claderone in a major storyline that closed season 2, was back in season 3 being killed in the conclusion and then appeared again in season 5 as another character!

David Watson as Cornelius in Beneath the Planet of the Apes...one really misses Roddy McDowall. Was happy he came back to the role later on.

Believe it or not, the WWF tried to replace their wrestling characters one time and we got a fake Diesel and a fake Razor Ramon. Really it should have been no one's surprise that it would bomb with fans, disappointed they weren't given the originals, big time.

I loved it when they did that. It was so hilarious!

Ohhhh yes, I remember that too. Believe it or not, the Fake Diesel was the same guy who later went on to play Kane, Glen Jacobs.

Oh man, I hate that too. The daughter is hideous in European Vacation, while she's HOT in Vegas Vacation. Oh, and in the first 2 movies the daughter is younger than the son, while in Christmas Vacation she's older than her brother.

Oh, and anyone remember the noe Kevin in Home Alone 4. Not only are there different actors for the same characters from the first 2 movies, and Marv looks like Harry, but Kevin is younger than he should be.
