9 Actors You Didn't Know Played The Same Character In Different Movies

it's of course expected that the

overwhelming majority of movies which

fare well with critics will inevitably

end up with a sequel in which the

surviving main characters will return to

reprise their roles but every so often

actors end up revisiting major roles in

the most unexpected of movies so

unexpected in fact that you might not

even know it or may have since forgotten

that it ever happened these 10 actors

were all given the opportunity to

reprise one of the biggest roles of

their career up to that point anyway in

a movie that absolutely nobody saw

coming I'm Gareth from whatculture.com

and here are nine actors you didn't know

played the same character in different

movies 9. Michael Keaton Ray Nicolette

Jackie Brown and out of sight Jackie

Brown is unquestionably Quentin

Tarantino's most underappreciated film a

star-studded undevelishly witty

adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel rum

punch and one which features a memorably

against tight turn from Michael Keaton

as ATF agent Ray Nicolette but while

Jackie Brown was being shot another

Elmore Leonard novel was due to ramp up

production the Steven Soderberg directed

out of sight Ray Nicolette also appeared

in that novel and so Soderberg managed

to convince Keaton to reprise the role

for a brief uncredited cameo in his

movie due to Miramax owning the screen

rights to the character however it felt

a Tarantino to insist that they didn't

charge Universal who distributed out of

sight a fee to use Nicolette as neat as

a shared Cinematic Universe in which

Tarantino and Soderberg have both

doubled theirs it's easily forgotten

given how unassuming Keaton's tiny role

is in out of sight number 8. Travis Van

Winkle Trent Transformers and Friday the

13th yeah probably don't much remember

the character of Trent in Michael Bay's

original Transformers but he was

Michaela baines's stereotyp typically

obnoxious jock ex-boyfriend and some

whitwicky's high school nemesis

aritza was a one-off in the Transformers

franchise and made no appearances in any

of the sequels though this might be

explained by the fact that Trent

secretly resurfaces and dies in 2009's

Friday the 13th remake in the movie

Travis Van Winkle plays another

character called Trent who exhibits all

the same off-putting traits of his prior

Transformers character an antagonistic

bully douchebag who viewers are actively

encouraged to despise Trent of course

ends up as one of Jason Voorhees victims

but given that Friday the 13th was

itself produced by Michael Bay there's

absolutely no way in hell that this

casting and namesake were a miracle

incidence number 7. Dan Aykroyd Ray

stunts Ghostbusters and Casper Dan

aykroyd's signature role is surely that

of Ghostbusters race stunts a role he

played in the first two movies a number

of animated TV series and video games

and also Ghostbusters afterlife oh a

1995 5's big screen adaptation of Casper

while Carrigan and her assistant dibs

attempt to have the McFadden Mansion

purged of Casper's unruly uncles better

known as the ghastly Trio none other

than Ray stance is seen running out of

the house in full Ghostbuster regalia no

less on his way out he says to Carrigan

and dibs Who you gonna call someone else

before fleeing the scene and to dispel

any doubts about the Cameo acroyd's

costume has a visible name tag bearing

the moniker stunts number 6. Michael

Parks Earl McGraw From Dusk Till Dawn

Kill Bill and Grindhouse the late great

Michael Parks played the role of Texas

Ranger IRL McGraw in From Dusk Till

Dawn's more restrained first half and

though he's quickly killed by bank

robber siblings Seth and Richie gecko

that was far from the last we saw of him

on screen McGraw makes a chronologically

ambiguous reappearance in Tarantino's

own Kill Bill vol 1. where he's seen

investigating the wedding Massacre which

left the bride in a four-year coma

amusingly Parks also plays a totally

different character Esteban vehicle in

Kill Bill vol 2. Vernon doesn't end

there parks reprise McGraw again in

Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino's

exploitation collaboration Grindhouse

playing McGraw briefly in both of their

movies Planet Terror and Death Proof

number 5. Jason Statham Frank Martin the

transporter and collateral the

transporter franchise the first three

movies anyway star Jason Statham as

Frank Martin a driver mercenary who will

deliver any package to any location if

enough greenbacks are on the table for a

Time Martin was Statham's signature

character enthusiastically dispatching

the Buddies while cutting a trim figure

in a dark suit and according to Louis Le

Terrier who directed the first two

transporter films Martin made an

additional appearance outside of the

series proper you may well have

forgotten that Michael Mann's terrific

2000 and IV Thriller collateral begins

with assassin Vincent swapping bags with

a shady Unknown man at the airport who

just so happens to be played by the

state himself though the character is

credited only as airport man the terrier

later confirmed that it is indeed a

canonical appearance by Frank Martin

given that he's absolutely in the

business of dropping off packages and

making Anonymous trades it fits like a

glove number 4. Rob Schneider Nazo the

delivery guy big daddy and Mr Deeds big

daddy is one of the better Adam Sandler

comedies of its era an unapologetically

immature yet surprisingly sweet film

stocked with sunla's usual Supporting

Cast of best Pals most prominently among

them is Rob Schneider who makes surely

his most memorable son the movie Cameo

as Nazo the deranged best friend and

Delivery Man of protagonist Sonny though

Schneider actually received a razi

nomination for his performance in the

film it's honestly one of his last

grating performances in a Sandler film

even mustering a few honest to God

Chuckles I tells you yet all but the

most Ardent Sandler funds will likely

have no idea that Schneider actually

reprized the role a few years later in

Summer's remake Mr Deeds granted he's in

the movie for literally two short scenes

and because Mr Deeds didn't make

anywhere near the same pop culture

imprint as Big Daddy it's a Revival

that's been largely forgotten to time

number three Jamie Foxx Django Freeman

Django Unchained and A Million Ways to

Die in the West Jamie Foxx played their

Central role of vengeful former slave

Django Freeman in Tarantino's Django

Unchained and while it was pretty

reasonable to expect the character to be

a one-off fox actually reprized the part

in the most unexpected of films Django

actually showed up at the very end of

Seth MacFarlane's Western comedy A

Million Ways to Die in the West after

the movie proper has finished but before

the end credits actually roll jungle

pops up for a tiny Cameo where he

murders the operator of a racist

shooting game called Runaway Slave and

drops the film's recurring one-liner

people die at the fair number two Jamal

Bullard Notorious B.I.G notorious and

all eyes on me the 2009's Notorious BIG

biopic notorious received wildly mixed

reviews even those critics who dismissed

the film generally agreed that it

featured a spot on performance from

Jamal Woolard as the ill-fated rap icon

Willard ended up unexpectedly reprising

the part of Big E eight years later for

2017's Tupac Shakur biopic all eyes on

me I'll be at this time in a supporting

capacity sadly bullard's performance

wasn't received quite so

enthusiastically this time round with

many critics complaining that Woolard

who was 41 years old when all eyes on me

was being shot no longer resembled

biggie who of course died at just 24

years of age needless to say Woolard has

now firmly aged out of playing the part

ever again but considering how the Tupac

biopic came and went without a peep you

probably never even knew he was in it

number one Ralph Bellamy and Don Amici

Randolph and Mortimer Duke Trading

Places and coming to America in John

landis's book beloved 1983 comedy

Trading Places the antagonists are

Randolph and Mortimer Duke the cruel

commodity broker brothers who make a

high stakes bet to switch the life

circumstances of a well-off broker with

a street hustler in the end however the

tables end up turned as our heroes set

up the Dukes to lose a staggering 394

million dollars resulting in their

personal and corporate assets both being

confiscated leaving them bankrupt

hilariously the Dukes make a blink and

you'll miss it appearance in another

collaboration between londis and Murphy

1988's Coming to America in the film

Prince Akeem joffer walks past two

homeless men and passes them a fat stack

of cash on its revealed moments later

that the two men are in fact none other

than the Dukes themselves the two even

refer to one another by their first

names but the 32nd Cameo is still so

fleeting that it's easily forgotten for

all but the most hardcore fans and

that's our list know of any other actors
