* ''Theatre/CrossRoad'': Costa the violin teacher in act 1 and Hector Berlioz in act 2 are played by the same actor (Kenji Sakamoto in the 2024 production). Costa is Niccolo Paganini's music teacher in his youth, who celebrates his talent at first, then denounces him for having acquired musical skill from a DealWithTheDevil. Berlioz is [[Music/HectorBerlioz another great composer]] of the era, who has fallen on hard times. At first, Paganini rejects him, but eventually he helps him. Costa is a minor figure, but in act 1, he has power over Paganini; Berlioz, on the other hand, is important, but this time, Paganini is the one with power over him.

Understandably this happens a lot in animation, because one person playing two characters can get pretty difficult in live-action if you want both to be in the same scene at some point, whereas the only hurdle you have to overcome with animation is the two characters sounding too similar, unless their voice actor differentiates their voice enough. Not to be confused with TalkingToThemself, in which the actor plays different personalities of a single character in-story. For the ''other'' kind of "acting for two," see HideYourPregnancy. Contrast MakingUseOfTheTwin, where an actor happens to have a twin who's cast in order to avoid this trope.
