Actors recastings – Pretty much every actor can spend a few weeks or months filming a movie. Sometimes they might not get along with their co-stars, sometimes they might have to go to some strange location for filming – but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t take a huge time commitment. When it comes to television, however, it’s a bit different.

If an actor gets a role on a successful television series, they’re often stuck playing the same character for several years. If one of the main cast members decides that they just can’t take it anymore, the writers will often remedy the situation by writing them out of the show – you know, they take a new job in a city across the country and are never heard from again.
It seems that with minor characters, the producers think that the audience isn’t quite paying attention, which is why they tend to swap out the actor playing a more minor character without mentioning it whatsoever. They think viewers won’t notice.
Oh, but we notice. And we wonder why on earth a certain character suddenly looks entirely different, with no explanation. Here are 10 actor recastings they thought we wouldn’t notice (but obviously did).
10. Carol Gellar/Willick – Friends
Apart from the core six, it can sometimes be hard to remember exactly who was on Friends – countless actors and actresses guest starred on the popular sitcom for at least a one episode arc. The ones who were lucky enough to get prime gigs as a girlfriend or boyfriend of one of the main characters, however, are a little bit more memorable – which is why it’s surprising that the writers thought that they could swap out someone who was such a huge part of Ross’ storyline. Anita Barone was initially cast as Carol, Ross’ lesbian ex-wife. Apparently, Barone wanted a bigger role, so the much blonder, slimmer Jane Sibbett stepped in to play Carol for the rest of the season.
