It goes without saying that there are thousands of memorable characters in iconic movies and television shows. Countless examples of each medium are produced, released and aired every year, so it’s hard to keep up with who’s playing who.

Of course, in a lot of cases – particularly when the actor is well-known – it’s easy to know which actor played which role (everyone knows, for example, that Robert Downey, Jr. has played the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Tony Stark and Sherlock Holmes) but, in other cases – such as when the actor isn’t well-known, is hidden behind make-up/a costume, played a character many years apart or played two characters so different that you simply wouldn’t associate them with each other – it’s often a surprise to find out the same person portrayed said characters.
In this article, we’re going to take a look at ten pairs of fairly iconic (or, at the very least, extremely well-known) movie and television characters who you won’t know were played by the same actor.

Back in 2001 and 2002 – within the space of a year – young actress Daveigh Chase played two characters who really couldn’t be more different from each other. In 2001’s Donnie Darko, she played the titular character’s sweet younger sister Samantha Darko (whom Donnie mistreated quite a lot) and, a year later she played the creepy ghost child Samara Morgan in the American remake of The Ring.
Chase reprised the role of Samantha (albeit an obviously much older version of the character) in the 2009 sequel to Donnie Darko entitled S. Darko, but she didn’t appear in the sequel to The Ring in 2005.
