Actors Who Play the Same Role in Unrelated Movies

Intentionally or not, these actors play the same parts again and again -- in completely different movies. Whose double-take rates the highest?

rank title points votes your vote
1 Tommy Lee Jones
In Double Jeopardy, Jones reprises his character from The Fugitive to a tee. Plus: It has an unintentional pun as its name! 129 227
2 Jeff Goldblum
Goldblum's distinctively style of speech is just one reason why his Jurassic Park and Independence Day scientists feel interchangable. 102 226
3 Michael Cera
If Cera's Nick and Norah character gave you deja vu, it's because you saw the same awkward, nerdy yet cool kid in Superbad and Juno. 83 225
4 Harrison Ford
In Firewall, Ford just wants his family back and the right to be grumpy. Sound familiar? It's also his part in Air Force One. 64 210
5 Vince Vaughn
Vaughn probably just never stopped playing his Old School character when he tackled a nearly identical part for The Wedding Crashers. 62 214
6 Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey manages to play the same character 150 years apart in Amistad and A Time to Kill. The only difference? Glasses. 49 185
7 Ashley Judd
In both Double Jeopardy and Kiss the Girls, she plays a woman who trains herself to avenge a killer and a death-faking ex. 41 169
8 Sarah Michelle Gellar
It feels like there were more but The Grudge only had one sequel. Possession and The Return were different Gellar movies. Seriously. -13 165
