| 12 | TheOtherDarrin is an inevitable part of showbiz: actors are only human, and sometimes their health, schedule, and contracts don't let them hang around and reprise their roles. But that doesn't always mean the actor has been blacklisted and the studio finds their heinous abandonment unforgivable: sometimes they're asked back. Usually this is met with much rejoicing... though probably not from the replacement. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | In general, ever since CelebrityVoiceActor became the standard for animated films, it's common to see PoorMansSubstitute used for a film's spin-offs, such as video games and TV series, only for the original actors to return when an actual theatrical sequel is made. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | NOTE: Just because this trope is called "The ''Original'' Darrin", it doesn't necessarily apply to only the originator of the role. Just as long as they've been around long enough that they are considered ''the'' version of the character by the fandom. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Despite being the {{Trope Namer|s}}, Creator/DickYork, the original [[Series/{{Bewitched}} Darrin Stephens]], never reprised his role after Creator/DickSargent replaced him. |

| 21 | !!Examples: |
| 22 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 23 | [[folder:Anime]] |
| 24 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02TheBeginning'': |
| 25 | ** After being replaced by Creator/GriffinBurns in ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'', Davis is once again voiced by Creator/BrianDonovan. |
| 26 | ** Likewise, Creator/NeilKaplan takes back over the role of Hawkmon from Christopher Swindle, not to mention that since Kaplan last voiced the character, Jeff Nimoy also took over for ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventure02M2RevengeOfDiaboromon Revenge of Diaboromon]]''. |
| 27 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'': |
| 28 | ** In the original Japanese track of ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'', Creator/YukoMinaguchi did not voice Videl due to her studying abroad, so she was played by Creator/ShihoKakinuma instead. Minaguchi returned as Videl for ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'', ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' and ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. |
| 29 | ** Masaharu Satou was the original voice actor for Master Roshi following Kohei Miyauchi's death, but was replaced shortly afterward by Hiroshi Masuoka. Satou returned as Roshi for ''Kai'' and has continued to provide his voice since. |
| 30 | ** Creator/IchiroNagai was the original voice actor for Master Karin, but did not return for the Buu Saga in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', with Naoki Tatsuta filling in. When ''Kai'' aired Nagai played Karin again and continue to do so until his death; he was later replaced by Ken Uo for ''Super''. |
| 31 | ** Creator/YujiMitsuya, the original voice actor for Kaioshin, did not return for ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', with Shin'ichiro Ota taking over. Mitsuya would return for all the ''Dragon Ball'' video games released in the 2000s as well as the ''Kai'' cut of the Buu Saga... [[ZigZaggedTrope but then left again]] when ''Super'' began airing, with Ota taking over as Kaioshin once more. |
| 32 | ** When the English dub of ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' was originally recorded, Brad Jackson had temporarily left Creator/{{Funimation}} during that time period, so Creator/BryanMassey played Oolong for its original run as well as the dub of the first film, ''[[Anime/DragonBallCurseOfTheBloodRubies Curse of the Blood Rubies]]''. By the time the "Final Chapters" season was dubbed Jackson had returned to Funimation and resumed his role as Oolong, also playing him in the English dubs of both ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Dragon Ball Super'', [[ZigZaggedTrope at least until Super's 89th episode, where Massey took over the role again and has played it since]]. |
| 33 | ** For several years, Creator/DameonClarke stepped down from playing the role of Cell in the video games, and turned the reigns over to Creator/TravisWillingham. But in the English dub of ''Dragon Ball Kai'', Clarke returned in the role, even though Willingham continued to play Cell in the games. Starting with ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' Clarke has returned to voicing Cell in the games as well. |
| 34 | ** Beginning with the video game ''Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z'', Creator/ChristopherSabat has begun voicing Burter and Jeice of the Ginyu Force again after the two were respectively recast with Creator/VicMignogna and Creator/JasonLiebrecht for ''Dragon Ball Kai'' as well as the video games coming out at the time. |
| 35 | ** Meredith [=McCoy=] also did not return for the ''Kai'' dub, with Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard filling in as Android 18. She returned for the dubs of both films and ''Super''. |
| 36 | ** Chris Cason was the original voice of Mr. Popo for Funimation's in-house dub, but left after the Freeza Saga was over, and Creator/ChristopherSabat took over when the Android Saga began. Cason resumed his role as Mr. Popo when ''Dragon Ball Kai'' was dubbed, 11 years later. |
| 37 | ** The Mexican Spanish dub of the first 98 episodes of ''Kai'' infamously replaced most of the original voice actors, though Creator/EduardoGarza, [[Creator/RocioGarcel Rocío Garcel]], Creator/IrwinDaayan, Mario Sauret and Humberto Solórzano returned to reprise their roles as Krillin, Bulma, Dende, Ox King and Raditz, respectively. For ''The Final Chapters'', most of the original cast, including Creator/MarioCastaneda and Creator/ReneGarcia, returned to reprise their roles; except for Sauret, who was replaced by Enrique Cervantes as Ox King and Marcos Patiño as Majin Buu due to the former living outside of Mexico City at the time. |
| 38 | ** In the Italian dub of ''Super'', Dende's original voice actor Giuseppe Calvetti was replaced by Creator/ChiaraFrancese during the Black Goku arc's first airing. Calvetti later came back and also redubbed all of Dende's lines for the reruns. |
| 39 | ** In ''Super'''s Hungarian dub, Péter Beregi returned as King Kai after the character got recast for the last few episodes of ''DBZ'' (and throughout ''GT''). This didn't last though, he quickly quit again. |
| 40 | ** In the Italian dub, Pilaf was voiced by Creator/MassimilianoLotti for the first half of the original series, and was then replaced by Sergio Romanò for the remainder of the series and later appearances (like in ''GT'' and in the later dubs of the ''Z'' movies). Lotti came back on the character in ''Super''. |
| 41 | * The Spanish dubs for the ''Anime/{{Inuyasha}}'' movies were done in Venezuela rather than Mexico. When the ''Final Act'' dub was recorded, most of the Mexican cast returned. |
| 42 | * The entire English cast of ''Manga/IkkiTousen'' changed for Season 2 after dubbing moved from New Generation in Los Angeles to Headline in New York. When [=FUNimation=] licensed Seasons 3-4, they chose to get the better-received Season 1 cast back, although some members of the Season 2 cast did return if their characters debuted in that season. |
| 43 | * For the first season of the ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' anime, Yuiko Tatsumi took over the role of Mio from Shiho Kawaragi, her voice actress for the original visual novel. For the second season, ''Little Busters! Refrain'', Kawaragi voiced Mio again. |
| 44 | * ''Franchise/LupinIII'': |
| 45 | ** Creator/EikoMasuyama voiced Fujiko Mine in the original 1969 ''Anime/LupinIIIPilotFilm'', but was replaced by Yukiko Nikaido for the ensuing ''Anime/LupinIIIPart1'' TV series. However, Masuyama was brought back as Fujiko for ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'' in 1977, and, with the exception of ''Anime/TheFumaConspiracy'', continued as the franchise's default Fujiko voice until 2010. |
| 46 | ** The second Italian dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIPartIII'', which was done in 2021, sees Creator/VittorioGuerrieri reprise his role as Goemon from the original dub of the season, after Creator/AntonioPalumbo replaced him for years. |
| 47 | ** The Italian dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIVsCatsEye'' has Creator/StefanoOnofri, Creator/AlessandraKorompay and Rodolfo Bianchi returning as the voices of Lupin, Fujiko and Zenigata after being replaced by Creator/LuigiRosa, Creator/EmanuelaPacotto and Creator/MarioZucca for ''Anime/LupinIIIPart6''. |
| 48 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 49 | ** In [[DuelingDubs both Latin-American Spanish dubs]] of the original series, Creator/HumbertoSolorzano voiced Gendo. In the dub of the first two movies of the ''Anime/RebuildofEvangelion'' series, Alan Miró would voice him. For the dub of the third movie, Solórzano returned to the role. |
| 50 | ** Speaking of ''Rebuild'', the Creator/PrimeVideo redub of the films would not only see them repeat Creator/{{Funimation}}'s move of getting Creator/SpikeSpencer back as Shinji, Creator/AllisonKeith back as Misato, Creator/JohnSwasey from the director's cut version of the episodes as Gendo and Creator/TiffanyGrant back as Asuka, but also getting Creator/AmandaWinnLee back as Rei, Creator/BrettWeaver back as Toji, and Jason C. Lee back as Shigeru, as well as Kimberly Yates, Tom Booker, Michael Ross and Amy Seeley reprising their respective roles as Hikari Horaki, Keel Lorenz, Kozo Fuyutsuki and Maya Ibuki from ''Death and Rebirth'' and ''End''. |
| 51 | ** In the Italian dub: |
| 52 | *** The first dub of ''Death and Rebirth'' and ''The End of Evangelion'' had different voices for Misato and Shigeru, voiced by Creator/FrancescaGuadagno and Davide Marzi instead of Stella Musy and Creator/VittorioGuerrieri. The movies were redubbed in 2009 with the original voice actors. |
| 53 | *** Misato was then recast again in ''3.0'' with Rachele Paolelli. ''3.0 + 1.0'' was initially dubbed with Paolelli as Misato once again, but later had a partial redub with Musy coming back once again. |
| 54 | * In the Italian dub of ''Manga/OnePiece'', Luffy was originally voiced by Creator/LuigiRosa, but halfway through the Enies Lobby Arc he was dropped of the cast and replaced with Creator/RenatoNovara. Surprisingly, ''Anime/OnePieceStampede'' was released on home video featuring as an extra an alternate audio track where Luigi Rosa reprises his role. |
| 55 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 56 | ** After the change in dubbing studios from Season 9 onward, Creator/TedLewis (as Ed Paul) and Creator/MikePollock were both replaced with Craig Blair as Giovanni and Mr. Contesta. However, when Blair quit working for the studio, the two were brought back to reprise their respective roles. Lewis also returned to voice Tracey in the final episode of ''To Be a Pokémon Master'', after Blair voiced the character in ''Battle Frontier''. |
| 57 | ** Since the change, Nurse Joy has been voiced by multiple actresses. But as a MythologyGag in one episode, former actress Creator/EricaSchroeder was bought back as an older Nurse. Then in ''Journeys'', Creator/MeganHollingshead, the original voice actress, returned to the role, thanks to the dub now primarily being produced in Los Angeles. |
| 58 | ** Rodger Parsons (as Ken Gates) was the voice of the narrator from the 1st season up until halfway through Season 6, where he was replaced by Mike Pollock. After the aforementioned change in dubbing studios, Parsons came back as the narrator. |
| 59 | ** In the Italian dub, Misty was originally voiced by Creator/AlessandraKarpoff, who was replaced by Creator/BenedettaPonticelli in a redub of Seasons 1-3 and a pair of flashbacks in late ''Best Wishes'' episodes. When Misty came back in the ''Sun and Moon'' anime, Alessandra Karpoff took the role back. |
| 60 | *** Also in the Italian dub, Brock was initially voiced by Nicola Bartolini Carrassi, but was replaced with Creator/LucaBottale at the end of the Orange Islands arc. Carrassi briefly came back as Brock for the ''Anime/Pokemon4Ever'' and ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'' movies. |
| 61 | ** Brock in the Latin American dub was voiced by Gabriel Gama from the beginning up to the first episodes of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' saga, with Alan Prieto having to take over the role until the final third. Gama later returned to voice Brock during the final season, and reprised his role for his guest appearances in ''Sun & Moon''. |
| 62 | *** Also in the Latin American dub, Gary Oak went through ''several'' different voice actors in his subsequent appearances post-Johto. For the ''Journeys'' season, Gerardo Del Valle, who voiced him throughout the original series, came back to reprise the role. |
| 63 | ** The Norwegian dub had Eirik Espolin Johnson voicing Brock until he was replaced by Erik Skøld, who has voiced the character since ''Advanced Generation''. Johnson reprised the role in ''Anime/MewtwoStrikesBackEvolution''. |
| 64 | ** In the German dub, Ash was voiced by Caroline Combrinck in the first three seasons before she moved to America. She was replaced by Veronika Neugebauer until her death after Season 11, after which Combrinck reprised her role. |
| 65 | * In the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' dub, Angela Costain quit her role of Nabiki during the fifth season, supposedly because she was too busy attending flight school. Her sister Elaina Wotten-Costain took over the role through the sixth season, until Angela returned for the final season, once her schedule worked out. |
| 66 | * ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'': |
| 67 | ** Panther was voiced by Creator/KikukoInoue. She could not reprise her role in ''J Again'' on account of maternity leave, so Creator/EmiShinohara replaced her. Inoue was able to return for ''J to X''. |
| 68 | ** Lorelei's Mexican voice actress Creator/IsabelMartinon was replaced in the Spanish dub by Creator/ElsaCovian for the duration of ''J Again'', and returned during ''J to X''. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/SailorMoon'': |
| 70 | ** In the original dub from [[Creator/DiCEntertainment DiC]], Emilie-Claire Barlow replaced Katie Griffin as Raye/Sailor Mars midway through the ''R'' season, after the show was UnCanceled following a 2-year hiatus. When the dub was once again revived with the ''S'' and ''[=SuperS=]'' seasons 3 years later, Griffin returned to voice Raye, while Emilie replaced Stephanie Morgenstern as Mina/Sailor Venus. |
| 71 | ** Serena/Sailor Moon herself was recast with Terri Hawkes after Tracey Moore had originated the role for the first 11 episodes, however Tracey returned for Episodes 15 and 21 because the dub was recorded out of order. |
| 72 | ** The German dub of ''Crystal'' brought back Sabine Bohlmann, the original voice of Usagi in the 90s anime. |
| 73 | * In the American Spanish dub of ''Anime/SaintSeiya'', Creator/JesusBarrero voiced Shion in what doblaje wiki dubs "Hades OVA 00". From the Hades saga dub onwards, he was dubbed by various other actors. In the Soldiers Soul video game, Barrero was reinstated. |
| 74 | * ''Anime/ShimaShimaToraNoShimajiro'' had a zig-zagging case with Saori Sugimoto. Sugimoto had always voiced Nyakkii Momoyama (as well as Nyakkii's predecessor, Ramurin Makiba) in the show, but in 2017 she took a year off and was replaced by Creator/MasamiSuzuki. Sugimoto returned in 2019; however upon her passing from heart failure in 2021, Suzuki was once again called back to replace her, this time permanently. |
| 75 | * ''Anime/{{Supernatural}}: The Animation'' couldn't get Creator/JensenAckles to voice Dean Winchester for the first 20 episodes so they cast Andrew Farrar before Ackles returned for the last two episodes. |
| 76 | * ''Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan'', which was originally dubbed in English by Creator/{{Funimation}} and Website/{{Crunchyroll}}, switched cast lists when its second season jumped to Creator/{{Netflix}}. Then Season 3 came, and the original Season 1 cast was used despite being licensed by Creator/SentaiFilmworks. |
| 77 | * The English dub of ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon'' brought back Creator/DavidKaye as the voice of Sesshomaru, over 13 years after he last played the role, having been replaced by Creator/MichaelDaingerfield for the dub of ''[[Manga/InuYasha Inuyasha: The Final Act]]''. |
| 78 | * After the "Waking the Dragons" season of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' was dubbed, Creator/TaraSands left New York to move to L.A., which required Mokuba to be recast with Creator/CarrieKeranen for the final season and the short-lived uncut [=DVDs=]. Sands returned as Mokuba 12 years later for the English dub of the movie ''Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions''. |
| 79 | [[/folder]] |
| 80 | |
| 81 | [[folder:Film — Animated]] |
| 82 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': |
| 83 | ** Creator/RobinWilliams reprised his role as the Genie for the second sequel, ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'', which came after Creator/DanCastellaneta had played the role in [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar the first sequel]] and [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries the TV series]]. Williams was persuaded to return when ''King of Thieves'' was already in production, making him Castellaneta's [[TheOtherMarty Other Marty]]. |
| 84 | ** In the European French dub, Paolo Domingo was the voice of Aladdin himself in both the original movie, ''The Return of Jafar'', and a few episodes of the TV series. However, the majority of episodes of the TV series had the character be voiced by Guillaume Lebon instead, who also replaced Domingo for the third movie, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' crossover, the brief cameo in ''WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains'', the ''Nasira's Revenge'' video game, and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''. Eventually, Domingo came back as the voice of Aladdin for ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. |
| 85 | ** Jasmine's singing voice changed from Creator/LeaSalonga to Liz Callaway for the sequels, then back to Salonga for ''WesternAnimation/DisneyPrincessEnchantedTalesFollowYourDreams''. |
| 86 | * When the ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' film series received an AnimationBump and started tackling more modern storylines, they also intended to get a fresh voice actress for Barbie, so Creator/KellySheridan was let go after almost ten years in the role, and replaced with Diana Kaarina. She lasted barely more than a year before fan demand brought Kelly back. However, she was then replaced by Creator/EricaLindbeck from 2016 onward. |
| 87 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10DestroyAllAliens'' sees much of the cast of the original ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' reprise their roles including Creator/TaraStrong as Ben, Upgrade, and Ben's mother, Sandra; Creator/DeeBradleyBaker as Ben's father, Carl; Meagan Smith as Gwen; Creator/SteveBlum as Heatblast; Creator/RichardMcGonagle as Fourarms; Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz as Grey Matter; Creator/JimWard as Diamondhead; Creator/FredTatasciore as Way Big; and Creator/RobertDavidHall as Azmuth. |
| 88 | * Creator/ChristopherGorham voiced the Flash in all of his post-''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueTheFlashpointParadox'' appearances in the ''WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse'' -- except for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract'', [[https://twitter.com/JTuckerAnimator/status/1385088842768609281 where according to]] WordOfGod, the Kid Flash there was actually a young Barry and was voiced by Creator/JasonSpisak. |
| 89 | * In the Italian dub of the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' series, Manny was voiced by Leo Gullotta in the first three movies, then it was replaced by Filippo Timi in the fourth one. ''WesternAnimation/TheIceAgeAdventuresOfBuckWild'' features Leo Gullotta coming back as Manny. |
| 90 | * The movie ''WesternAnimation/LegoDCComicsSuperHeroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League'', had Wonder Woman voiced by Creator/KariWahlgren instead of Creator/GreyDeLisle-Griffin. Once the sequel, ''Attack of the Legion of Doom'', came out, Grey returned to the role. |
| 91 | * ''Franchise/TheLionKing'': |
| 92 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'' brings back Creator/NathanLane as the voice of Timon after Lane was replaced partway through the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'', first by Creator/QuintonFlynn, then by Kevin Schon. Creator/MatthewBroderick also returns as Simba, who was voiced by Creator/CamClarke in ''Timon & Pumbaa'', though Clarke provided Simba's [[NonSingingVoice singing voice]] in "We Are One". |
| 93 | ** Shenzi and Banzai are once again voiced by Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and [[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheech Marin]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', after Creator/TressMacneille and Creator/RobPaulsen voiced them in ''Timon & Pumbaa''. |
| 94 | ** The Italian dub of ''1 ½'' has Timon once again voiced by Creator/ToninoAccolla, after Creator/RobertoPedicini replaced him in ''Timon and Pumbaa''. |
| 95 | * After being replaced by Ron Yuan in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' animated film duology of ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsScorpionsRevenge'' and ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms'' sees Creator/PatrickSeitz return as the former film's titular Hanzo Hasashi. |
| 96 | * ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' takes heavy inspiration from [[WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar the cartoon]], but is still set in the universe of [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} the movies]], and therefore has Dreamworks staff members Chris Miller and Christopher Knights reprising their roles as Kowalski and Private rather than Creator/JeffBennett and James Patrick Stuart. [[spoiler:Though Danny Jacobs still voices King Julien in the stinger presumably because it would be too expensive to get Sacha Baron Cohen for a cameo.]] |
| 97 | * In 2011, when Paige O'Hara was deemed too old to continue voicing [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]], the role was then recast to Creator/JulieNathanson, who has voiced Belle in many of her appearances since then, such as ''VideoGame/KinectDisneylandAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''. ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', however, brought O'Hara back to voice Belle. |
| 98 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'', the sequel to Disney's ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', would have featured Kathryn Beaumont playing an older Wendy in a ''fifty-year'' RoleReprise, but she got Other Marty'd by Creator/KathSoucie. Later that same year, Beaumont ''did'' get to be Wendy again in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''. |
| 99 | * The FinaleMovie of ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' had Spot's original voice actor Nathan Lane reprise his role, when the original television series had him replaced by Kevin Schon partway through the second season. |
| 100 | [[/folder]] |
| 101 | |
| 102 | [[folder:Film — Live-Action]] |
| 103 | * Parodied in-universe in ''Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet''. For the fictional sequel ''29 Jump Street'' Jonah Hill's character Schmidt is recast with Seth Rogen, with Jenko being the only one to notice the change. When ''30 Jump Street'' comes out Hill is Schmidt again. |
| 104 | * Creator/MichaelKeaton played [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne / Batman]] in ''Film/Batman1989'' and ''Film/BatmanReturns'' but didn't return for ''Film/BatmanForever'' after being displeased with Creator/WarnerBros' [[ExecutiveMeddling decision]] to tone down the film series into a more LighterAndSofter[=/=]DenserAndWackier territory along with the fact that director Creator/TimBurton was relegated to producer after ''Returns'' didn't gross what WB had hoped for with Creator/JoelSchumacher replacing him, thus he was replaced by Creator/ValKilmer for said film and Creator/GeorgeClooney for ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''. In August 2020, it was confirmed that he would reprise his role in Creator/AndresMuschietti's Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse film ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}'', where he co-stars with his DCEU successor Creator/BenAffleck. Affleck himself is also a example, reprising the role after leaving ''Film/TheBatman2022'', causing Creator/RobertPattinson to replace him in that (and also coming back for additional photography in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''). |
| 105 | * In ''Film/ChildsPlay3'', Alex Vincent was replaced by Justin Whalin for the role of Andy Barclay because [[TimeshiftedActor it took place eight years after the second but was released only a year after]]. Alex Vincent returned in ''Film/CurseOfChucky'' and ''Film/CultOfChucky''. |
| 106 | * Film/JamesBond: |
| 107 | ** When Creator/SeanConnery left the series after ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', Creator/GeorgeLazenby was cast as Bond to replace him for ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService''. Lazenby left afterwards on the advice of his agent (who he later fired after a string of hippie film flops), so the producers paid Connery a then-record $1.25 million to return for ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', his final Creator/EonProductions outing as Bond, though he would later return again for the non-Eon Productions ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain''. |
| 108 | ** Felix Leiter was played by a different actor in each of his appearances until ''Film/LicenceToKill'' (1989), when producer Creator/AlbertRBroccoli decided to bring back an actor who had previously played Leiter to create a better emotional reaction to his near-fatal injury. Creator/DavidHedison reprised the role, having previously played Leiter in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' (1973); in-between Hedison's two appearances, Leiter was played by John Terry in 1987's ''Film/TheLivingDaylights''. Hedison thus became the first actor to play Leiter more than once until Creator/JeffreyWright in the Creator/DanielCraig era. |
| 109 | * In the Italian dub of ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways'', Giorgio Ginex reprises his role as Alpha after being replaced by Creator/DanieleDemma in ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''. |
| 110 | * In ''Film/PhantasmII'', Creator/JamesLeGros replaced A. Michael Baldwin for the role of Mike but eventually Baldwin returned for the next films. |
| 111 | * In ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes'', Creator/RoddyMcDowall was replaced as Cornelius by David Watson. He returned for ''Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes''. |
| 112 | * ''Film/ReturnToSleepawayCamp'', along with ignoring the less-than-beloved sequels to ''Film/SleepawayCamp'', brought back Felissa Rose as Angela Baker. |
| 113 | * Creator/LeeVanCleef played the title character in the first and third films of Film/TheSabataTrilogy, with Creator/YulBrynner taking over for the second film. Ironically, Van Cleef was unavailable because he was committed to ''The Magnificent Seven Ride'', in which he was taking over a part that Brynner had played in ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960''. |
| 114 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'' usually abides by the PoorMansSubstitute rule in the TV shows, video games and other spinoffs, but sometimes the original actors will pitch-in in the side projects: |
| 115 | ** Darth Vader is voiced by Creator/JamesEarlJones in the movies, but in spinoff media he's voiced by other actors, such as Creator/ScottLawrence or Creator/MattSloan of ''WebVideo/ChadVader'' fame. Jones reprised the role in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', ''Film/RogueOne'', a brief cameo in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', and in ''Series/ObiWanKenobi''.[[note]]though the voice was synthesized via Respeecher to sound like Jones did in the Original Trilogy[[/note]] |
| 116 | ** Yoda is usually voiced by Creator/TomKane instead of Creator/FrankOz in the cartoons and video games, but Oz also returned for a few guest appearances in ''Rebels'', as well as ''Film/TheLastJedi'' and ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''. |
| 117 | ** Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor voiced prequel-era Obi-Wan Kenobi in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and most video games. Creator/EwanMcGregor later returned to the character in live action: first with a voice-only cameo in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', and then as the star of the live-action ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' series. |
| 118 | ** The [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie pilot film]] for ''The Clone Wars'' saw the return of Creator/SamuelLJackson as Mace Windu and Creator/ChristopherLee as Count Dooku, instead of their respective stand-ins Creator/TerrenceCCarson and Creator/CoreyBurton. Like Robin Williams in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' below, Jackson and Lee were actually TheOtherMarty to Carson and Burton. |
| 119 | ** Most media in the 1990s and 2000s had C-3PO being voiced by a different actor (usually Tony Pope or Creator/TomKane). In pretty much all of Threepio's media appearances from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' onward, he is voiced by original actor Anthony Daniels. |
| 120 | ** ''The Clone Wars'' initially had Ahmed Best reprise his role of Jar Jar Binks from the films, only for Creator/PhilLaMarr (under the pseudonym "BJ Hughes") to quickly replace him. [=LaMarr=] only lasted three episodes, and Best was brought back for all of Jar Jar's subsequent appearances in that series. |
| 121 | ** Palpatine was voiced by Ian Abercrombie and Tim Curry in ''The Clone Wars'', and then Sam Witwer in one episode of ''Rebels''. In the series finale of ''Rebels'', Ian [=McDiarmid=] returned to voice Palpatine. |
| 122 | ** After having been voiced by Creator/MattLanter since ''The Clone Wars'', Creator/HaydenChristensen returns as Anakin Skywalker in a voice-only cameo in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''. Like Ewan [=McGregor=] above, he returns to the role properly in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. |
| 123 | ** Nute Gunray and Ki-Adi-Mundi were both portrayed by Silas Carson in the prequel trilogy, but in ''The Clone Wars'', Creator/TomKenny voiced Gunray and Creator/BrianGeorge voiced Mundi[[note]]though archived audio of Carson as Mundi was used in Season 7 episode "Shattered"[[/note]]. Carson reprised both roles in ''[[VideoGame/LegoStarWars Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]''. |
| 124 | ** The Clones were originally portrayed by Creator/TemueraMorrison, who also played Jango Fett and dubbed Boba Fett's dialogue in the DVD release of the Original Trilogy. Morrison also voiced the Clones in some video games up until the original 2005 ''Videogame/StarWarsBattlefrontII'', but starting with ''The Clone Wars'', the Clones were voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker. Even though Morrison returned to voice Boba Fett in [[Videogame/StarWarsBattlefront2015 the]] [[Videogame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017 two]] EA Battlefront games, the Clones were still voiced by Baker in 2017's ''Battlefront II'' (likely to keep Boba distinct from his "brothers"). And when the Clones made live-action cameos in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', they were portrayed by stand-ins, despite Morrison playing Boba Fett in the series. In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', Morrison portrays a homeless 501st clone that Obi-Wan encounters on Daiyu in the second episode. |
| 125 | * Creator/CoreyFeldman voiced Donatello in the 1990 ''Film/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1990}}'' movie, but was unable to reprise his role in [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze the sequel]] due to being in rehab at the time. He would return to the role in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII''. |
| 126 | * ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'' brings back Linda Hamilton to play Sarah Connor after being [[ActorLeavesCharacterDies killed off]] for ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'', and portrayed by Lena Headey in the TV show ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', and Emilia Clarke in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' (all four of the later works are in different canon timelines). |
| 127 | * In the French comedy film series ''Film/LaVeriteSiJeMens'', the character of Dov Mimran was played by Vincent Elbaz in the first film. He was replaced by Creator/GadElmaleh for the second film, then came back for the third. |
| 128 | * Mae Questel was the third, and arguably definitive, voice actress in the ''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop'' cartoons, voicing the title character in over 150 shorts from 1931 to 1938 until being re-cast. She reprised her role for various other projects later on, most notably in 1988's ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. |

| 131 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 132 | * During Series 1 of ''Series/TheArmyGame'', Creator/NormanRossington's character (Private "Cupcake" Cook) vanished for two episodes, and when he returned, he was now played by Kieth Banks. Banks only appeared in four episodes before Rossington returned to the role for the rest of Series 1 and Series 2. |
| 133 | * In the first season of ''Series/BabylonFive'', Na'Toth was played by Caitlin Brown; she left the show at the end of the season, and was replaced by Mary Kay Adams. The showrunner thought Adams' performance didn't suit the character as well, and Na'Toth was written out. She returned for a single guest appearance in the final season, once again played by Caitlin Brown. |
| 134 | * In the second season of ''Series/Batman1966'', Creator/JohnAstin replaced Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. For the third and final season, Gorshin returned to the role. |
| 135 | * Although Creator/BobWest retired from the role of Barney the Dinosaur in ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' in 1999, he reprised the role for the 2005 PBS Kids Sprout launch event due to Dean Wendt (the current voice of Barney) being unavailable. |
| 136 | * ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': Creator/EvePlumb (Jan) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) were both replaced in subsequent spin-offs (Eve Plumb by Geri Reischl in ''The Brady Bunch Hour'' and Susan Olsen by Jennifer Runyon in ''A Very Brady Christmas'') before returning to their roles in ''The Bradys''. Maureen [=McCormick=] (Marcia) was also replaced by Leah Ayres in ''The Bradys'', but has not played Marcia since. |
| 137 | * ''Series/BirdsOfAFeather'': Chris Theodopolopdous was played by David Cardy in Series 1, Creator/PeterPolycarpou from Series 2-6, and Cardy again from Series 7 onwards. |
| 138 | * ''Series/{{Dallas}}'', naturally, featured a suitably melodramatic version. Barbara Bel Geddes played Miss Ellie from 1978 until 1984, when she left after being refused a raise following an absence due to heart bypass surgery. She was replaced by Donna Reed. When Bel Geddes agreed to return to the show for a higher salary, however, Reed was summarily fired. (Reed was suing the producers for breach of contract when she died in early 1986; the case was settled.) Bel Geddes returned to the role of Miss Ellie the following season and remained until the end of the show. |
| 139 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 140 | ** K9 was voiced by Creator/JohnLeeson in Season 15 and 16, and then by Creator/DavidBrierly in Season 17. Leeson, however, returned in Season 18 and in all of the character's [[CommutingOnABus intermittent returns]] to the franchise since. |
| 141 | ** Alpha Centauri was voiced by Ysanne Churchman in the Third Doctor stories [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon "The Curse of Peladon"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E4TheMonsterOfPeladon "The Monster of Peladon"]]. Jane Goddard voiced the character in the ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio plays; Churchman returned (at the age of 92) for the Twelfth Doctor story [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E9EmpressOfMars "Empress of Mars"]]. |
| 142 | * In ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', Helen [=DuBois=] was played by Yvette Nicole Brown in her first appearance "Movie Job". By the time Helen was to appear again in "Little Diva", Brown was cast as a regular on a new TV series called ''The Big House'' (starring a then-obscure Creator/KevinHart) and couldn't reprise her role, so Helen was now played by Frances Callier. ''The Big House'' was cancelled after just six episodes and Brown returned as Helen in all subsequent appearances. |
| 143 | * Strange example in ''Series/GirlMeetsWorld''. In the show's predecessor ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'', Cory's younger sister Morgan was initially played by Lily Nicksay and then was replaced by Lindsay Ridgeway from Season 3 onward. In the ''GMW'' series finale, both actresses appear in Cory and Topanga's apartment with everyone just accepting it. Additionally, the actor who played Josh Matthews as a baby in ''BMW'' has a cameo in ''GMW'', despite his original role having been taken over by Uriah Shelton. |
| 144 | * In the BBC's 1970s adaptations of the ''Literature/LordPeterWimsey'' novels, Mervyn Bunter was played by Glyn Houston for "Clouds of Witness", then he was replaced with Derek Newark for "The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club". Glyn Houston came back for "The Nine Tailors" and "Five Red Herrings". |
| 145 | * ''Series/{{Monk}}'': In the first season, Sharona Fleming's son Benjy was played by Kane Ritchotte in the pliot, while in the rest of the season he was played by Max Morrow. This was because the pilot was filmed in Vancouver (and Ritchotte lived on the West Coast), whereas the rest of the season was filmed in Toronto. From season 2 onwards, ''Monk'' relocated production to Los Angeles, and thus Ritchotte was brought back as Benjy up until Sharona left the show midway through season 3. |
| 146 | * ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'': |
| 147 | ** Louise "Lolly" Carpenter was played by Jiordan Anna Tolli from 1994 (shortly after the character was born) to 2001. She returned in 2007 for a few months, now played by Creator/AdelaideKane before leaving again. Jiordan later reprised the role for an episode in 2013. (because Adelade Kane had gone onto bigger and better things in America) |
| 148 | ** Pierce Greyson was played by Tim Robards from 2018 until 2020, when he abruptly left to be with his pregnant wife (there was a chance of them being separated due to COVID-19 interstate travel restrictions). Don Hany played him for the last few weeks of his exit storyline, as well as a guest stint the following year. Tim returned to the role in 2022. The show seemed to lampshade this when his ex-wife Chloe confronted Pierce over his manipulative actions the previous year: "I didn't think you were capable of something like that. It's like you were a completely different person". |
| 149 | * ''Series/{{Passions}}'': Liza Huber was the original Gwendolyn "Gwen" Hotchkiss (later Winthrop) before her departure in 2000 when she was replaced by Creator/NatalieZea. Huber eventually returned to the role in 2002 after Zea's own departure and remained with the show until its cancellation. Something of note: of all of the many cast changes in the series' nine-year run, she is the ''only'' actress that returned. |
| 150 | * In the second season of ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'', George [=McGrath=] took over the role of puppeteering Pterri, though Pterri's usual performer John Paragon remained in the onscreen role of Jambi. Paragon was back to performing Pterri for the third season onward, with [=McGrath=] likewise remaining in his other puppet roles. |
| 151 | * ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'': While Hilary Shepard Turner played Divatox in the original movie, in the TV series she was played by Carol Hoyt due to Turner's pregnancy. After her maternity leave was over, Turner returned to playing Divatox in the second half of the series, and continued on through its direct follow-up ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''. |
| 152 | * ''Series/TheReallyLoudHouse'': In the Italian dub of the film ''Film/ALoudHouseChristmas'', Lily was voiced by Sofia Fronzi instead of Creator/GiadaBonanomi, her voice actress from [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse the original cartoon series]]. Bonanomi reprised the role for the live-action series. |
| 153 | * ''Series/RedDwarf'': Holly was played by Creator/NormanLovett in Seasons 1 and 2, changed to Creator/HattieHayridge in Seasons 3 to 5, was absent in Season 6, then was back to being Lovett in 7 and 8 (and disappeared again in ''Back to Earth'' and Season 10). |
| 154 | * ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'': |
| 155 | ** Creator/LecyGoranson played the role of Becky for the first five seasons. Creator/SarahChalke took over the role for the 6th and 7th seasons. Lecy Goranson returned to the role in the 8th season, and Sarah Chalke took over again in the 9th season. Lampshaded at the end of the episode in which Goranson returned with the song [[Series/ThePattyDukeShow "Identical Beckys"]]. |
| 156 | --->''Meet Lecy, the one you used to see / From '88 to '93...'' |
| 157 | ** Goranson returned to the role of Becky ''again'' in the {{Revival}}. Chalke is also back, though playing a new character, named Andrea, which they naturally lampshaded: |
| 158 | ---> '''Becky:''' ''(to Andrea)'' Look at us, we could be the same person! |
| 159 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': When the Borg Queen was introduced in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' she was played by Creator/AliceKrige. Suzanne Thompson took over the role when she became a recurring character on ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. For ''Voyager'''s SeriesFinale, "Endgame", however, Krige returned. Then, during season 2 of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', the Borg Queen returned, this time played by Creator/AnnieWersching. [[spoiler:The ''Picard'' series finale, "The Last Generation", plays with this trope: Krige returned as the voice of the Queen, who was physically played by Jane Edwina Seymour due to the Queen suffering BodyHorror after the events of "Endgame".]] |
| 160 | * On ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'', Delores Pasternak was originally played by Creator/MissiPyle. When she returned four years later, she was played by Creator/AliciaWitt. In brief appearances in later seasons, Missi Pyle came back. |
| 161 | * ''Literature/TheWorstWitch'' (the 1998 series): |
| 162 | ** Creator/FelicityJones famously was replaced by Katy Allen for Season 2, with the in-universe explanation that Ethel Hallow had used a "witch-over" to hide her resemblance to her younger sister Sybil. In the spin-off ''Weirdsister College'', Felicity Jones returned to play Ethel presumably because she was now at college and didn't have to worry about her sister embarrassing her. |
| 163 | ** The grand wizard Hellibore is played by Terence Hardiman in Season 1. For one Season 2 episode, he's replaced with Richard Durden. Terence Hardiman returns to the role in Season 3. |
| 164 | * On ''Series/WheelOfFortune'', Charlie O'Donnell was the original [[TheAnnouncer announcer]] when the show debuted in 1975. He left in 1980 when execs announced plans to cancel the show; although said plans were quickly overturned, he ended up finding another job anyway. As a result, Jack Clark took over the role of announcer until dying of bone cancer in 1988. He was replaced briefly by M. G. Kelly until 1989, when O'Donnell's turn on ''Series/TheNewlywedGame'' ended. This allowed him to return to ''Wheel'', where he continued to serve as announcer until his own death in 2010. |
| 165 | [[/folder]] |
| 166 | |
| 167 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 168 | * The band Music/FromFirstToLast reformed in 2013-2014 after a months-long Kickstarter campaign, introducing Spencer Sotelo of another band (Periphery) as the lead singer and Ernie Slenkovich as drummer, recording the ''Dead Trees'' albium. However, the two new members were replaced after 2016 by Music/{{Skrillex}} (their most famous member and lead singer back in 2004-2006) and Derek Bloom (their old drummer from 2002 up to his replacement by Slenkovich). |
| 169 | * Killswitch Engage replaced frontman Jesse Leech in 2002 with Howard Jones, who they enjoyed their most successful period with. Leech replaced the departing Jones in 2012. |
| 170 | * The Music/{{Sugababes}} are infamous for replacing their original members one by one over the course of the 2000s. While the all-replacement 4.0 lineup "kind of fizzled out", the original three reunited in parallel as Music/MutyaKeishaSiobhan, much to the critics and fans' delights. When they finally regained the rights to use the Sugababes name in the New 20s, the public's enthusiasm turned them back into a formidable touring act overnight. |
| 171 | [[/folder]] |
| 172 | |
| 173 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 174 | * Pro wrestling rarely recasts its characters unless the wrestlers wear masks or facepaint to hide their identities during said gimmicks. |
| 175 | ** Wrestling/DoinkTheClown was originally played by Matt Osborne. However, Osborne left the Wrestling/{{WW|E}}F in December of 1993 so the role was played by a few other wrestlers in his absence, such as Steve Keirn, Wrestling/SteveLombardi, Dusty Wolf, Ray Apollo, Mike Maraldo and Wrestling/NickDinsmore across multiple promotions. Osborne would reprise the role in some later guest appearances on WWE TV. |
| 176 | ** Wrestling/{{TNA}} wrestler Suicide was a defictionalized character from their 2008 video game, first portrayed on TV by Wrestling/FrankieKazarian. Kazarian would go down with an injury and Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels would fill in for him. After Daniels returned as himself, other wrestlers began accusing him of being Suicide, which is when Kazarian resumed the role. |
| 177 | ** After Wrestling/ScottHall and Wrestling/KevinNash left the WWF for Wrestling/{{WCW}}, WWF made the unwise decision to reintroduce the characters of Razor Ramon and Diesel with different wrestlers playing them (as a TakeThat to Hall and Nash since the names were trademarked by WWF): Rick Bognar and a pre-Wrestling/{{Kane}} Glenn Jacobs, respectively (unlike the previous two examples, the replacements were obvious since their faces and bodies were uncovered). Kevin Nash would wrestle under the "Diesel" name again during the 2011 Royal Rumble and Scott Hall would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as Razor Ramon. |
| 178 | * Wrestling/SinCara was originally portrayed by Luis Urive better known as Mistico, but was replaced by Jorge Arias due to a suspension. Urive took back the role when he returned and played the role until his 2013 release, when Arias took it back. |
| 179 | [[/folder]] |
| 180 | |
| 181 | [[folder:Puppet Shows]] |
| 182 | * ''Franchise/SesameStreet'': |
| 183 | ** Creator/FrankOz, original performer of multiple ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''[[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet Show]]'' characters (primarily Grover, Bert and Cookie Monster on the former and Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal and Sam the Eagle on the latter) gradually stepped away from puppeteering in the late 90s and early 00s to focus on directing, being replaced by David Rudman for Cookie Monster and Eric Jacobson for all his other characters. Oz would occasionally reprise his ''Sesame Street'' characters throughout the 00s, and performed Grover as late as 2012. |
| 184 | ** On ''Series/PlayWithMeSesame'', Steve Whitmire returned to playing Ernie in Season 3 after being replaced by John Tartaglia in Season 2. |
| 185 | [[/folder]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 188 | * Mr. Bluett was played by Creator/HaroldBennett in ''Series/DadsArmy'', but Creator/TimothyBateson took over the role for the first two series of the radio adaptation. However, for the final radio series, Mr. Bluett was once more played by Bennett. |
| 189 | * A snarly example from ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1978'': Trillian was played in the original radio show by Susan Sheridan, and in [[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1981 the TV adaptation]] by Creator/SandraDickinson (despite most of the radio cast being kept on). In the relaunched radio series made much later, ''both'' Trillians were cast, with Sheridan as the "original" Trillian and Dickinson as her alternate-universe counterpart from ''Literature/MostlyHarmless''. |
| 190 | * ''[[Radio/IntergalacticalMagicalRadio The Wacky Musical Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Intergalactical Magical Radio]]'' was an obscure AudioAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'' that only saw distribution through United Airlines' in-flight radio and notably had Creator/RussiTaylor, Creator/FrankWelker and Carl W. Wolfe reprise their respective roles as Birdie the Early Bird, Grimace and Hamburglar rather than using their ''Wacky Adventures'' voice actors Creator/ChristineCavanaugh, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson and Creator/CharlieAdler. |
| 191 | [[/folder]] |
| 192 | |
| 193 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 194 | * ''VideoGame/BackToTheFutureTheGame'': |
| 195 | ** Claudia Wells put her acting career on hold following her mother's cancer diagnosis, leading to Creator/ElisabethShue replacing her as Jennifer Parker for the first movie's sequels. Wells reprised her role for Jennifer's appearance in this game, however. |
| 196 | ** For the [[MilestoneCelebration 30th anniversary]] of the first movie, the game's re-release had Creator/ThomasFWilson reprise the role of Biff Tannen from the movies and animated series, having been replaced by Andrew Chaikin (credited as Kid Beyond) when the game was first recorded. |
| 197 | ** Although Creator/MichaelJFox was mostly unable to voice Marty [=McFly=] again and had to be replaced with A.J. Locasio, he does cameo in the last episode to voice [[spoiler:three future versions of Marty that show up at the end]], as well as William [=McFly=]. |
| 198 | * ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'': |
| 199 | ** In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'', to reflect its status as [[TimeShiftedActor a prequel]] (and in the Joker's case, Creator/MarkHamill's own FlipFlopOfGod about retiring from the role), Batman was voiced by Creator/RogerCraigSmith instead of Creator/KevinConroy, the Joker was voiced by Creator/TroyBaker instead of Hamill, and Killer Croc was voiced by Creator/KharyPayton instead of Creator/SteveBlum. The interquel film ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'' saw the return of Conroy as Batman and ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight Arkham Knight]]'' saw the return of not only Conroy, but Blum as Croc and Hamill as the Joker. ''Knight'' also saw Creator/TasiaValenza return as Poison Ivy, Creator/WallyWingert return as the Riddler, and a version with Creator/TaraStrong (as she was the character's second voice actress in the series) returning as Harley Quinn after the characters were voiced by Creator/JenniferHale, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Creator/HyndenWalch in the aforementioned ''Assault on Arkham''. |
| 200 | ** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamUnderworld'' saw Creator/DinoAndrade come back as the Scarecrow after the character was absent in ''City'' and recast with Creator/JohnNoble in ''Knight''. Likewise, Creator/ChrisCox returned as Deadshot after being replaced by Creator/NealMcDonough in ''Assault on Arkham''. |
| 201 | * While Lisa Zane replaced Leeza Miller-[=McGee=] as the voice of Charlene "Charley" Davidson in the 2006 revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', Leeza reprised her role in the 2006 series' video game adaptation. |
| 202 | * The Platform/Nintendo3DS version of the ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash Bros.]]''-esque ''VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion'' featured only ''four'' characters (five if you count George Lowe as the narrator, who's heavily implied to be WesternAnimation/{{Space Ghost|CoastToCoast}}) receiving their original voice actors: Creator/GreyDeLisle as [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Mandy]], Creator/TaraStrong as [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Bubbles]], Creator/KeithFerguson as [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Bloo]], and Creator/YuriLowenthal as [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce teenage Ben]]. When the console version came out, several characters got their original actors back. |
| 203 | * Ayane from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' was voiced by Creator/JaniceKawaye in the ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' series, but Brittney Lee Harvey voiced her for a few ''Dead or Alive'' games. ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive6'' had Kawaye return as her English voice actress. |
| 204 | * In his guest appearance in ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', Dante from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' is voiced by his original voice actor Drew Coombs rather than Matthew Kaminsky, who voiced him in the earlier ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2''. Barring another guest appearance in ''Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble'' (which reuses audio from Coombs' previous performances), Creator/ReubenLangdon would take over as Dante in all his appearances thereafter. |
| 205 | * Betsy Baker played Ash's girlfriend Linda in ''Film/TheEvilDead1981'', but was replaced by Denise Bixler in ''Film/EvilDead2'' and Creator/BridgetFonda in ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness''. Baker would finally return to the role in 2022's ''Videogame/EvilDeadTheGame''. |
| 206 | * In ''VideoGame/TheFairlyOddparentsBreakinDaRules'', The Crimson Chin is voiced by Creator/DaranNorris as opposed to Creator/JayLeno, just as he was in his debut appearance in "[[Recap/TheFairlyOddparentsS0E10SuperHumor Super Humor]]". |
| 207 | * The ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight'' series originally had Tim Curry voice Gabriel Knight, in one of his many outrageous accents, a New Orleans writer, bookstore owner and mythological monster and evil hunter unbeknownst to his legacy. The sequel released in the mid 90's went full [[FullMotionVideo FMV]] and while Tim Curry is an excellent voice actor he does not resemble a blonde, young American man with a long mullet so the role went to Dean Erickson. When the third installment went 3D graphics with polygon models, they brought Tim Curry back to voice Gabriel for his final game. |
| 208 | * ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'' saw the return of [[spoiler:Creator/CoreyBurton as Zeus and Carole Ruggier as Athena after having been replaced by Creator/FredTatasciore and Creator/ErinTorpey in those respective roles]]. |
| 209 | * ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2002'' saw [[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters the series']] premier SNKBoss, Rugal Bernstein (in his Omega Rugal form), not voiced by his usual voice actor Toshimitsu Arai (who voiced him as far back as [[StarterVillain his original appearance]] in ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters94 '94]]'') but by Creator/NorioWakamoto (who previously voiced Igniz, the FinalBoss of ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2001 KOF 2001]]''). Interestingly, most fans preferred the original VA over Wakamoto, and come ''[[UpdatedRerelease 2002: Unlimited Match]]'' (released in 2009, just prior to ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXII XII]]''[[labelnote:*]]as such, ''[=2002UM=]'' was the very last game to use the original Platform/NeoGeo sprites, with ''XII'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXIII XIII]]'' opting for hand-drawn, higher definition ones and all titles starting from ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXIII XIV]]'' [[TwoAndAHalfD ditching 2D sprites altogether]][[/labelnote]]), Omega Rugal was once again voiced by Arai (who also provided updated voice work for [[ColonelBadass Heidern]] and [[OurClonesAreDifferent Original]] [[GravityMaster Zero]]). |
| 210 | * ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': |
| 211 | ** Kairi's voice actress in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Creator/HaydenPanettiere, was unable to reprise the role due to other commitments, and so was replaced by Creator/AlysonStoner for ''[[VideoGameRemake Re:]][[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 358/2 Days]]''. Not a huge issue, since Kairi was barely in those games, but ''Days'' notably introduced Xion, meant to be a case of SignificantDoubleCasting with Kairi (both are voiced by Risa Uchida in Japanese), who wound up being played by Stoner first. For Kairi and Xion's incredibly brief scenes in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', Panettiere returned to both roles, putting Panettiere and Stoner in the remarkable position of being ''each other's'' Other Darrins. Stoner came back as Kairi and Xion in the ''HD 1.5 [=ReMIX=]'' version of ''Days'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage'', and seems to be permanently in the roles as of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', as Panettiere claims she wasn't even approached. Since, prior to ''III'', most of Stoner's work had been as Xion, and most of Panettiere's had been as Kairi, English-speaking fans associated ''both'' actresses with the identities of the two characters, and had hoped that ''III'' would dismiss the SignificantDoubleCasting and feature Panettiere as Kairi and Stoner as Xion, but ultimately this was not the case. |
| 212 | ** [=DiZ=] was played by Creator/ChristopherLee in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Creator/CoreyBurton in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', Lee again in ''Days'', and Burton in all appearances since then. |
| 213 | ** In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} and [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas the Mayor of Halloween Town]] are played by their original voice actors, Creator/TateDonovan and Glenn Shadix respectively, who had been played by Other Darrins in ''KHI''. In the same game, Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes returned as [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Prince Eric]] for the first time, having been replaced by Creator/JeffBennett in [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1992 the TV series]] and Creator/RobPaulsen in [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea the sequel]]. |
| 214 | ** ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hercules: The Animated Series]]'' reverted Hercules to a high-schooler, but gave him his adult voice actor, the aforementioned Creator/TateDonovan, instead of his adolescent voice actor from the movie, Creator/JoshKeaton. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', Hercules appears again as a teenager, with Keaton voicing him once again. |
| 215 | * ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'' (see below) replaced Creator/ClancyBrown with Creator/TravisWillingham as the voice of Lex Luthor. For ''[[VideoGame/LEGOBatman LEGO DC Super-Villains]]'', Brown returned to voice Luthor. |
| 216 | * ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'': |
| 217 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' had several members of its AllStarCast replaced by impersonators for the video game. In ''Dimensions'', Creator/ElizabethBanks, Creator/ChrisPratt, Creator/WillArnett, Creator/AlisonBrie, Creator/CharlieDay, and Creator/NickOfferman returned to their respective roles of Wyldstyle, Emmet, Batman, Unikitty, Benny, and Metalbeard. |
| 218 | ** [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]] is once again voiced by Oliver Wyman (who previously voiced him in ''Anime/SonicX'' and ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'') after being replaced with Creator/KyleHebert in the DS version of ''VideoGame/SonicColors''. |
| 219 | ** In the third ''VideoGame/LEGOBatman'' game, Creator/JBBlanc replaced Creator/SteveBlum as [[Characters/BatmanBane Bane]] while Creator/ScottPorter took over as ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} from Creator/BrianBloom. Blum returned as Bane and Bloom returned as Aquaman for ''Dimensions''. |
| 220 | * ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm'' had a completely different cast from the original ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' due to a voice actor strike. Creator/AshlyBurch, Creator/HannahTelle and Joe Ochman were brought back after the strike ended to voice young Chloe, Max and William in the bonus episode "Farewell". |
| 221 | * For the majority of the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series, Snake (both Solid Snake and his "father" Naked Snake/Big Boss) is played by Creator/DavidHayter. That includes spin-offs and non-canon appearances like ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''. Come ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV'', the role of (Venom/Punished) Snake was handed off to Creator/KieferSutherland. [[labelnote:Spoiler warning!]]And although this Snake turned out to be a BodyDouble for Big Boss who posed as him after the events of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes Ground Zeroes]]'', Sutherland also voiced the real deal in both ''Ground Zeroes'' and the TwistEnding of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain The Phantom Pain]]''.[[/labelnote]] However, with Snake's return to ''Smash Bros.'' in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', Hayter reprised his role via reused audio from ''Brawl''. Earlier that same year (2018), an update for ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman R'' also saw Hayter voice both Solid Snake and Naked Snake -- or rather, [[AdaptationSpeciesChange Solid Snake Bomber and Naked Snake Bomber]]. |
| 222 | * ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite'': |
| 223 | ** Creator/BillyWest returned to voice [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Stimpy]] in ''Attack of the Toybots'', after getting Darrin'd by Creator/EricBauza for the short-lived ''[[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon Adult Party Cartoon]]'' spin-off on Creator/SpikeTV. |
| 224 | ** After getting Darrin'd by Creator/JeffBennett in the ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju'' TV series (which is how the series is represented in the ''Unite!'' games), Creator/RobPaulsen returned to voice [[InconsistentSpelling Tlaloc/Traloc]] in ''Globs of Doom''. |
| 225 | * ''VideoGame/PunishingGrayRaven'': The August 2023 ''Blazing Simulacrum'' event was a {{crossover}} with ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'', and BRS herself is played by her first CV from the [[Anime/BlackRockShooter 2009 OVA and 2012 anime]], Creator/KanaHanazawa, instead of one of her more recent actresses like Creator/MaayaSakamoto (who played her in [[VideoGame/BlackRockShooter the game]]) or Creator/YuiIshikawa (''Anime/BlackRockShooterDawnFall''). She also uses [[RevisitingTheRoots her original design from the OVA]]. |
| 226 | * In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaWarriorWithin'', Creator/YuriLowenthal was replaced by Creator/RobinAtkinDownes for the role of the main character but Lowenthal came back for ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheTwoThrones'' and ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheForgottenSands''. |
| 227 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' series has Globox, who was initially voiced by Doug Rand for ''VideoGame/Rayman2TheGreatEscape'', only to be replaced with Joe Sheridan for ''VideoGame/RaymanM'' and Creator/JohnLeguizamo for ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc''. After an 8-year-long hiatus, Rand returned to voice Globox in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', and has continued to voice the character as well as several others in all subsequent appearances. |
| 228 | * Franchise/RoboCop was already an UnexpectedCharacter in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', but adding to the unexpectedness is that Creator/PeterWeller returned as the titular Alex Murphy, considering (outside of some commercials as a part of UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken's "Colonel Sanders" commercials) he last played the role in 1990's ''Film/RoboCop2''. |
| 229 | * The ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' series gives a very odd example within the same game no less. Cyrus Temple, one of the main antagonists of ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', was voiced by Tim Thomerson in that game. In "Zero Saints Thirty", the prologue mission of ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'', he is voiced by Creator/RichardEpcar. Yet Thomerson provides all the rest of Cyrus' dialogue in ''Saints Row IV'', including "The Girl Who Hates the 50s", Kinzie's loyalty mission, audio logs, and Homie Conversations involving him. |
| 230 | * ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'': |
| 231 | ** Darth Vader is voiced by Creator/ScottLawrence, who was the original voice actor to portray the character in video games and who hadn't voiced the character since 2006's ''VideoGame/StarWarsEmpireAtWar'', having been replaced by Creator/MattSloan in subsequent games. |
| 232 | ** In the Mexican Spanish dub, Creator/MiguelAngelGhigliazza voices the Clone Troopers for the first time since being replaced during Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. |
| 233 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 234 | ** A odd example occurs in ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' and its sequels. As a playable racer in the first game, Dr. Eggman was voiced by his original voice actor, the late Deem Bristow, using [[QuoteMine archived audio]] from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', instead of Creator/MikePollock, who, along with the rest of the English voice cast from ''Anime/SonicX'', had [[TheOtherDarrin taken over]] voice work for the games [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog the previous year]]. The same applies to [[VideoGame/SonicRidersZeroGravity the second game]] as well. [[note]]Pollock still voiced Eggman in both games' cutscenes and recorded a few lines pertaining to the second game's new gravity mechanics.[[/note]] It wasn't until ''VideoGame/SonicFreeRiders'' (which ironically saw the entire ''Sonic X'' cast, sans Pollock, subjected to TheOtherDarrin) that he did all of Eggman's voice work for a ''Riders'' game, retroactively replacing Bristow in the process. |
| 235 | ** Creator/KateHiggins returned to record new lines for Tails in ''VideoGame/SonicColors [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate]]'', after being replaced by Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey from 2014 onwards. |
| 236 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Soul|Series}}'' series provides a plot-justified example of the trope in the Japanese versions. Creator/NobuyukiHiyama voiced [[BigBad Nightmare]] in ''Soulcalibur'' (1998) and ''Soulcalibur II'' (2002), where Siegfried, who Hiyama first voiced in ''Soul Edge'' (1995), [[BrainwashedAndCrazy was the host of Soul Edge]]. At the end of ''II'''s story, Siegfried canonically broke free of Soul Edge's influence and no longer assumed the mantle of the Azure Knight, with Hiyama continuing to voice Siegfried in all subsequent appearances. Because Soul Edge was now [[AnimatedArmor without a host]] in ''III'' and ''IV'' and then found a ''different'' host in ''[[VideoGame/SoulcaliburV V]]'', Hiyama did not voice Nightmare in those games. [[note]]This also applied to ''Soulcalibur Legends'', an {{interquel}} set between ''Soul Edge'' and ''Soulcalibur'', though that game [[CanonDiscontinuity was non-canon]] and [[ContinuitySnarl would've done a number on the series' continuity even if it were canon]].[[/note]] Then, 16 years after he last portrayed the character, Hiyama resumed the role of Nightmare in 2018's ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburVI''. But that's because ''VI'' is a ContinuityReboot that returns to the ''Soulcalibur'' era of the series, and thus Siegfried is [[SignificantDoubleCasting also donning]] the identity of Nightmare once again. |
| 237 | * ''VideoGame/SpiderManTrilogy'': |
| 238 | ** Unlike the first and third games, where she was replaced by Cat O'Conner and Creator/KariWahlgren respectively, Creator/KirstenDunst reprised the role of Mary Jane in ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2''. |
| 239 | ** Whereas Jay Gordon and Creator/JoshKeaton filled in for them in the first two games, ''VideoGame/SpiderMan3'' would see Creator/JKSimmons and Creator/JamesFranco reprise the respective roles of J. Jonah Jameson and Harry Osborn. |
| 240 | * ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' has had this happen twice. Irving Lambert and Anna Grimsdóttir were originally voiced by, respectively, Don Jordan and Claudia Besso in [[VideoGame/SplinterCell1 the first game]]. For the second game, ''[[VideoGame/SplinterCellPandoraTomorrow Pandora Tomorrow]]'', they were inexplicably replaced by respectively Creator/DennisHaysbert and Adriana Anderson, and then just as inexplicably, Jordan and Besso returned to voice the characters again for the third game, ''[[VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory Chaos Theory]]'', and onward. Later on, for ''[[VideoGame/SplinterCellBlacklist Blacklist]]'', Besso was replaced again with Creator/KateDrummond, alongside protagonist Sam Fisher's voice going from Creator/MichaelIronside to Eric Johnson, though for a {{crossover}} mission in ''VideoGame/GhostReconWildlands'', Ironside returned to voice Sam. |
| 241 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' video games: |
| 242 | ** ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsLightsCameraPants'' sees Creator/CharlesNelsonReilly briefly return to voice The Dirty Bubble after having been replaced by Creator/TomKenny in the main show. |
| 243 | ** Many early games based on the franchise did not feature Creator/ClancyBrown as Mr. Krabs, with Krabs being voiced by numerous stand-ins (such as Joe Whyte, Bob Joles, and Patrick Pinney). Most games since 2010 that feature Mr. Krabs, such as ''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsPlanktonsRoboticRevenge Plankton's Robot Revenge]]'', ''[=HeroPants=]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsTheCosmicShake The Cosmic Shake]]'', as well as ''VideoGame/NickelodeonAllStarBrawl 2'', retain Clancy Brown as the character. |
| 244 | * After Creator/TomKenny [[note]]who originally replaced Creator/CarlosAlazraqui[[/note]] was replaced with Creator/JessHarnell as the voice of the titular ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' from ''VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail'' onward (not counting the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro other]] [[VideoGame/{{Skylanders}} continuities]]), the former returned to voice Spyro once again for the ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy''. |
| 245 | * In the original release of ''VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce'', the only returning character from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' who wasn't played by their original actor was Seven of Nine, voiced by Joan Buddenhagen instead of Creator/JeriRyan. However, an expansion pack saw Ryan return to the role, including [[TheOtherMarty redubbing the dialogue from the original game]]. |
| 246 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 247 | ** Despite being replaced by Kenny James as the voice of Bowser sometime around the late [=GameCube=]/early Wii era, his previous voice actor Scott Burns continued to provide Bowser's voice in various games afterwards such as ''VideoGame/MarioSuperSluggers'', the first two installments of the ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' series (''Beijing 2008'' and ''Vancouver 2010'') [[note]]James does, however, provide the voice of [[DecompositeCharacter Dry Bowser]] in ''Vancouver 2010''[[/note]], ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' (wherein both Burns and James' voice clips are used), and ''[[VideoGame/MarioTennis Mario Tennis Open]]''. |
| 248 | ** Diddy Kong has been voiced by Creator/KatsumiSuzuki ever since ''Mario Power Tennis'', but in ''[[VideoGame/MarioGolf Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', his voice clips from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'', provided by Creator/{{Rare}} employee Chris Sutherland, are used alongside Suzuki's voice clips. [[note]]This also applies to ''VideoGame/MarioSportsSuperstars'', which reuses the post-hole animations from ''World Tour'' in its Golf Mode.[[/note]] |
| 249 | ** Princess Peach was voiced by Leslie Swan in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/MarioKart64'', but was replaced by Creator/JenTaylor starting with ''VideoGame/MarioGolf''. Leslie would return for ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''. Jen Taylor would retire the role in the mid-00s, with Nicole Mills brought on as a temporary replacement before Samantha Kelly took on the role from 2007 onwards. However, archived recordings of both Jen Taylor and Nicole Mills were used in some later games. |
| 250 | * When ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' was ported to the Platform/PlayStation2, each playable character was given new techniques to use in battle, and as a result, new voice clips. This version of the game remained exclusive to Japan for years until finally being released on the Platform/PlayStation3 and PC as ''Tales of Symphonia Chronicles''. For this release of the game, the original English dub cast, rather than the new cast introduced in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'', were brought in to record the new voice clips. |
| 251 | * ''VideoGame/StarOcean1'' was remade for the [[Platform/PlayStationPortable PSP]] as ''Star Ocean: First Departure'', and with it, replaced the entire voice cast. When the remake was ported to the Platform/NintendoSwitch as ''Star Ocean: First Departure F'', the cast from the original Super Famicom game was brought back to voice the characters, with the game giving the option to switch between the two casts. The same thing happened with ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'', where the player can switch between its original and remake's Japanese cast. The English version averts this, however, as only the remake's English voice cast was brought back. |
| 252 | * Lechter Arundel was first voiced in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' and its first two sequels by Creator/MaxMittelman, who also played the character [=McBurn=] starting in the second game. In ''Cold Steel IV'', however, both roles were instead played by Creator/PhillipReich and Creator/GregChun respectively. Come ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie'', and Mittelman would be brought back to play said characters. |
| 253 | [[/folder]] |
| 254 | |
| 255 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 256 | * ''ARG/TheNoedolekcinArchives'': Lyric West briefly returned to the role of Kirk Odd in [[https://twitter.com/MK70016/status/1657766972766011394 a video message]] before leaving the team for good. |
| 257 | [[/folder]] |
| 258 | |
| 259 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 260 | * King Goobot and Ooblar from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' were originally voiced respectively by S. Scott Bullock and Paul Greenberg in the pilot short "Runaway Rocketboy", but were replaced by {{Celebrity Voice Actor}}s Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/MartinShort in the PilotMovie ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius''. Their appearances in the actual series had Bullock and Greenberg reprise their roles. |
| 261 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': The title character was originally voiced by Creator/MichaelYarmush, who was replaced in season six after his voice changed due to puberty. Yarmush returned to voice Arthur as an adult in the DistantFinale "All Grown Up". |
| 262 | * ''The New Batman Adventures'', sequel series to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', had Creator/JeffreyCombs replace Henry Polic II as the Scarecrow for the episode "Never Fear". However, in "Over the Edge", Scarecrow's second and final appearance in said series, Creator/JeffBennett replaced Combs. Combs, however, came back for the tie-in video game ''VideoGame/BatmanRiseOfSinTzu''. |
| 263 | * ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' had Two-Face voiced by Creator/JamesRemar in two of his three appearances, "The Fate of Equinox!" and "The Mask of Matches Malone!". However, his second of the three, "Chill of the Night!", the character is voiced by Creator/RichardMoll (a case of RoleReprise as Moll voiced Dent in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'') briefly in "Chill of the Night!" because Two-Face's appearance was minor and it'd been easier and cheaper to get Moll, who was voicing Lew Moxon, to do the voice. |
| 264 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'': |
| 265 | ** Creator/SteveBlum returned as Vilgax in after the character (who Blum voiced in [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 the original series]]) was voiced by Creator/JamesRemar in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien''. He likewise returned as Zs'kayr and Ghostfreak after the role had been recast with Creator/JeffBennett. |
| 266 | ** Creator/JenniferHale returns as Rojo in ''Omniverse'', after being replaced by Creator/KariWahlgren for her brief cameo in ''Ultimate Alien''. |
| 267 | * ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'': Creator/OwenWilson usually abides by the rule of only playing Lightning [=McQueen=] in the movies, with Creator/KeithFerguson replacing him in games and shorts, but he returned to voice the character for the last few shorts. |
| 268 | * ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'': |
| 269 | ** In the original shorts for ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'', Blocky was voiced by Robert Cait. When the shorts became a series, he was replaced with Creator/CandiMilo. During the second season, Cait became Blocky's voice again and played him for the remainder of the series. |
| 270 | ** Spy Fly was voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille in her debut episode, "Disappearing Act". Then Candi Milo played her in "Chip O' Fools" and "Lost In Chalk". From "Beanie Boys to Men" onward, [=MacNeille=] returned to play her. |
| 271 | * Dee Dee in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' zig-zags this. She was voiced by Allison Moore in the first season, but Allison quit the role to focus on her theater work and was replaced by Kat Cressida for the second season. After the show was revived for a third season, Allison Moore was brought back (as new show runner Chris Savino wanted to focus on changing a few voices around), but Kat Cressida returned for the fourth and final season at the behest of Cartoon Network. |
| 272 | * ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' had Donald Duck once again voiced by Creator/TonyAnselmo after Daniel Ross replaced him on ''WesternAnimation/MickeyAndTheRoadsterRacers'' (which was only because he was too busy with ''[=DuckTales=]'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', and other works to do ''Roadster Racers'' as well). |
| 273 | ** On the subject of ''Roadster Racers'', Bret Iwan, who has been the official voice of Mickey Mouse since the death of Creator/WayneAllwine, returned to the role in animation, after having been replaced by Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos for [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 the Paul Rudish shorts]]. |
| 274 | ** Creator/WaltDisney provided Mickey's voice from his creation through the early 1940s, with the role being inherited by sound effects artist Jimmy [=MacDonald=]. However, Walt would voice Mickey again for the original ''[[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub Mickey Mouse Club]]'' in 1955, and for a ''Disneyland, USA'' stage show in 1962. |
| 275 | ** Creator/QuintonFlynn filled in for Wayne Allwine as Mickey in a few of the ''Mickey [=MouseWorks=]'' shorts. |
| 276 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'', the spin-off to ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', saw Creator/FredTatasciore replacing Creator/JohnGoodman as the voice of Pacha. Goodman then came back to the reprise the role in the second season. |
| 277 | * An {{uncredited|role}} Creator/LaceyChabert voiced Meg for the first 10-12 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' before being replaced by Creator/MilaKunis, due to Chabert wanting to focus more on her schoolwork. The episodes "Back To The Pilot" and "Yug Ylimaf", both of which involve time travel, brings back Chabert to voice past Meg (though only via archived audio in the former), and unlike the first 10-12 episodes, she actually received credit. This is lampshaded in both episodes. |
| 278 | * A few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' had Creator/DawsButler stand in for Creator/MelBlanc as Barney Rubble after the latter was inactive due to a serious car accident. Daws originally voiced Barney in "The Flagstones" pilot. |
| 279 | %%* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', the Robot Devil is usually played by Creator/DanCastellaneta, but was replaced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche in one episode where his appearance was merely a throwaway gag. |
| 280 | * The animated adaptations of ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' zig-zagged this. Originally, Garfield and Jon were voiced by Scott Beach and Thom Huge respectively. For the first of the WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials ''Here Comes Garfield'', they were recast as Lorenzo Music and Sandy Kenyon. Huge reclaimed the role of Jon for all subequent Garfield specials, as well as ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' (1988-94). Music similarly stayed on to be the defining voice of Garfield for all appearances including ''Garfield and Friends'' until his 2001 death (except an early 1990s Alpo ad that used Tom Smothers instead). |
| 281 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': |
| 282 | ** Maria Chavez was usually played by Rachel Ticotin, but replaced by Elisa Gabrielli for just one episode. |
| 283 | ** In the first (and only canon) episode of the third season, John Castaway was voiced by Creator/AlanCumming. In subsequent appearances, he was voiced by Scott Cleverdon. This didn't seem particularly significant, until the comic book series (canon unlike the rest of the season) revealed that Castaway is actually Jon Canmore, who was voiced by Cleverdon. |
| 284 | * ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': |
| 285 | ** Arnold's first voice actor (not counting the theatrical pilot) [[Creator/LaneToran Toran Caudell]], was recast after Season 1 due to puberty changing his voice (though he was kept on and given a new role of JerkJock bully Wolfgang). He provided Arnold's singing voice in the Season 2 episode "What's Opera Arnold?" because his replacement, Phillip Van Dyke, wasn't a good singer and Toran still sounded like his Arnold voice when he sang. |
| 286 | ** Curly's main voice actor was Adam Wylie, who was replaced and reinstated on ''two'' occasions: He was replaced by Creator/HaleyJoelOsment in Season 4 episode "Deconstructing Arnold", then by Michael Welch in Season 5 episodes "Curly's Girl" and "Ghost Bride". Wylie returned for the Season 4 episode "New Bully on the Block", then the second-to-last episode "April Fool's Day". [[note]]Since Curly does not talk in that episode and only laughs, they likely just used archival recordings of Wylie for that episode.[[/note]] |
| 287 | ** Monkeyman was voiced by series creator Creator/CraigBartlett in his early cameo appearances, but in his ADayInTheLimelight episode "Monkeyman!" Creator/AndyDick provided Monkeyman's voice. ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie'' had Craig Bartlett voice the character yet again. |
| 288 | * Mary on ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' is a zig-zagged example of this trope. She was voiced by Brittney Wilson in Season 1, only to be replaced by Creator/AshleighBall from Seasons 2-4. Season 5 saw Wilson return to the role only to once again be replaced by Ball for the show's sixth and final season. |
| 289 | * ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': |
| 290 | ** During the episode "Hereafter", Creator/CoreyBurton replaced Creator/MalcolmMcDowell, Bud Cort, and Creator/MiguelFerrer in the respective roles of Metallo, Toyman, and Weather Wizard. While Ferrer wouldn't come back, later during the final ''Unlimited'' season, [=McDowell=] and Cort would reprise their respective roles. |
| 291 | ** "Hereafter" itself had an example of this as Creator/BradGarrett reprised the role of Lobo after the character was recast with both Creator/GregEagles and Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson in ''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries''. |
| 292 | * ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' villain Señor Senior, Senior was originally voiced by Creator/RicardoMontalban, who was replaced by Earl Boen when he was unable to record an episode and brought back when he was in better health. |
| 293 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Creator/JeffBergman initially voiced many of the Looney Tunes characters after Creator/MelBlanc's death, only to be replaced by other voice actors such as Creator/JoeAlaskey, Creator/GregBurson or Creator/BillyWest. Starting with ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', Jeff returned to many of his roles. |
| 294 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 295 | ** Bulk Biceps was [[CreatorCameo voiced by director Jayson Thiessen]] back when all he ever said was [[BigYes "YEAH!"]] When he became an AscendedExtra with actual dialogue for the episode "Rainbow Falls", Creator/MichaelDobson was used. Thiessen's "YEAH!" returned in "Equestria Games". |
| 296 | ** In the Italian dub, Rarity was voiced by Camila Gallo from Seasons 1-6, and Creator/ChiaraFrancese in Season 7. Gallo returned for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', Seasons 8-9, and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyPonyLife''. |
| 297 | ** Spike's German voice actor (Hannes Maurer) moved out of Germany after Season 4. He was replaced by Jan Makino ([[GenderBlenderName another male voice actor]]). Maurer returned to his role in time for Season 7 and the movie. |
| 298 | * Creator/NickJr: Creator/ChrisPhillips, Face's original voice actor from 1994, was replaced by Babi Floyd in 2003. Phillips would return in 2011 and 2016 for a few Creator/NickRewind bumpers, before being replaced by Creator/CedricLWilliams in 2022 for ''WesternAnimation/FacesMusicParty''. |
| 299 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'': Bobby Proud was voiced by Creator/CedricTheEntertainer throughout the series, but Creator/ArsenioHall voiced him in ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyMovie''. Bobby's voiced by Cedric again in ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder''. |
| 300 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'': Guardian Bob, the main character of the first two seasons, was voiced by Michael Benyaer until the second season finale. After an extended absence for much of the third season, he returns in an [[TheNthDoctor altered]] form now voiced by Creator/IanJamesCorlett. In the feature-length film that comprises half of the fourth season, however, ''both'' versions appear voiced by their respective actors. [[spoiler:The "original" Bob turns out to be a fake, but the real Bob has his body and voice changed back to said form.]] |
| 301 | * When Creator/JohnKricfalusi was fired from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, Ren from ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' was replaced by Billy West, who also voiced Stimpy. John returned to voice Ren in the short-lived Spike TV revival ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon''. |
| 302 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Susie was voiced by Creator/ElizabethDaily in the episodes "The Last Babysitter" and "Angelica's Birthday" due to Susie's normal actress Creator/CreeSummer being unavailable, but Summer would return after those episodes. |
| 303 | * A very unique case happened with the series finale of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. Creator/{{Mako}}, the original voice of [[BigBad Aku]], had been dead for roughly 11 years by the time the episode aired and was already replaced by Greg Baldwin for the long-overdue fifth season. However, the opening moments of the final episode feature archival footage of the show's first opening, complete with Mako's original narration, a role he receives credit for as "Past Aku". |
| 304 | * ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': |
| 305 | ** In 1997, Creator/CaseyKasem quit the role of Shaggy after his character was used in a Burger King commercial, clashing with his vegetarian lifestyle. Starting with ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'', he voiced Shaggy again until his retirement from the character in 2009, under the condition that Shaggy be a vegetarian as well. [[note]]Though Creator/ScottMenville voiced him in the 2006 cartoon ''WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue''.[[/note]] |
| 306 | ** Likewise, the 2003 movies ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheLegendOfTheVampire Legend of the Vampire]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheMonsterOfMexico Monster of Mexico]]'', saw Heather North and Nicole Jaffe return to voicing Daphne and Velma. |
| 307 | ** Afterwards in 2004, Creator/GreyDeLisle would return to voice Daphne in ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheLochNessMonster The Loch Ness Monster]]'' after being replaced by Heather North in the previous two films. However, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'', [=DeLisle=] would be replaced by Creator/AmandaSeyfried, although [=DeLisle=] would once again return to the role in the DTV films that followed. |
| 308 | ** After being voiced by Carl Steven in ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', Creator/FrankWelker returned to voicing Fred in the ''Scooby-Doo''/''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' {{crossover}} "Bravo Dooby Doo", and continues to do so to this day. In fact, Welker is the only VA still on the cast list from the original series' run over 50 years ago, replaced in the role only once, ''by'' Carl Steven (if only because Fred was a kid in ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'')! However, ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'' inexplicably replaced Welker with Creator/ZacEfron despite him still voicing Scooby, although Welker would once again return to the role in the DTV movies that followed. |
| 309 | ** The "canon" Hungarian dubs zig-zag this.[[note]]''Scooby-Doo''-related media have been sporadically dubbed prior to the characters receiving their now-established voices and names sometime in the late '90s. Despite being produced first, these old dubs are mostly dismissed and had no influence on the rest of the franchise's localisation.[[/note]] Fred received a new voice for the live-action movies, who then continued to dub him in subsequent animated movies as well. However his original voice actor still dubs him in the shows. Scooby's original VA died in 2000, but he had a consistent voice up until the late 2000s, when it was decided that he'll have a third voice for the cartoon shows, and his second actor would only dub him in movies. |
| 310 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 311 | ** When Roger Meyers Jr. first appeared in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E9ItchyAndScratchyAndMarge "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge"]], he was voiced by guest-star Alex Rocco. In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E19TheFront "The Front"]] and several brief appearances, he was instead voiced by series regular Creator/HankAzaria. Several seasons later, Rocco would voice Meyers again for his last two appearances in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E18TheDayTheViolenceDied "The Day the Violence Died"]] and [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E14TheItchyAndScratchyAndPoochieShow "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"]]. |
| 312 | ** Maggie Roswell left the show in season 11 over her contract not covering her commute to voice acting sessions, leading Maude Flanders [[ActorLeavesCharacterDies to be killed]] when the crew wanted to open up more storylines for Ned Flanders, while the rest of her characters (Ms. Hoover, Luanne Van Houten, and Helen Lovejoy) were recast with Marcia Mitzman Gaven, who also voiced Maude in her final few appearances. Roswell returned to voicing all her previous characters in season 14 (only in flashbacks and non-canon episodes such as the "Treehouse Of Horror" stories in Maude's case). |
| 313 | ** Normally Creator/JoeMantegna voices Fat Tony but in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E19AFishCalledSelma "A Fish Called Selma"]], Creator/PhilHartman (who already spent most of the episode as Troy [=McClure=]) voiced Fat Tony. The producers chose not to bring Mantegna in due to the part being so small they believed he wouldn't want to do it. After the episode aired, Mantegna informed them that he would ''always'' make time to voice Fat Tony, and has been voicing him ever since, even when only grunts are required. |
| 314 | ** When the Latin Spanish cast went on strike after Season 15, Marina Huerta (who had voiced Bart in the first nine seasons) reclaimed her role from Claudia Motta. When most of the original Latin Spanish cast members returned for Season 32, Creator/HumbertoVelez (the original Homer) reclaimed his role from Víctor Manuel Espinoza, while Creator/PatriciaAcevedo (the original Lisa) reclaimed her role from Nallely Solís (among other role reclaimings). |
| 315 | ** Similarly, in Brazilian Portuguese, Homer and Marge's voice actors were replaced in season 8. Selma Lopes (Marge) returned at the end of Season 13, while Waldyr Sant'anna (Homer) returned in Season 15. |
| 316 | ** Normally, [[BitingTheHandHumor whenever the show skewers Fox and/or its CEO Rupert Murdoch]], Creator/DanCastellaneta voices Murdoch. However, "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday" had the actual Murdoch appearing AsHimself, [[SelfDeprecation who introduces himself as "Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire tyrant!"]]. |
| 317 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'': |
| 318 | ** ComicBook/WarMachine's appearance falls into this, with James Avery, War Machine's original voice actor on ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries'' reprising the role (likely due to Creator/DorianHarewood, his successor, voicing Tombstone). |
| 319 | ** While TheOtherDarrin within the show, Storm's original voice actress in ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' Iona Morris, reprised the role during the ''ComicBook/SecretWars1984'' adaptation instead of Alison Sealy-Smith as Morris lived in LA and the original guest appearances of the X-Men proved expensive, as ''X-Men'' was recorded in Toronto and the voice cast was flown to LA. |
| 320 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' had an example in the Latin-American Spanish dub, where Luis Perez Pons, voice of Mr. Krabs (or [[DubNameChange Don Cangrejo]] as he's called there), was replaced after the fifth season by Carlos Vitale, only to come back in the middle of the ninth season after Vitale's retirement. |
| 321 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': |
| 322 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E11Shattered the penultimate episode]], Creator/IanMcDiarmid, Creator/HaydenChristensen, and Creator/SamuelLJackson provided the voices of Palpatine, Anakin, and Mace Windu (albeit via archived audio from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''). |
| 323 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': |
| 324 | *** In [[TheEmperor Emperor]] [[BigBad Palpatine's]] first, voice-only, appearance on the show in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]], he was voiced by Creator/SamWitwer, who had also voiced him in ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' and its sequel. When Palpatine returned for a few more appearances in the show's fourth and final season, they brought in his original movie actor, Creator/IanMcDiarmid, to play him. [=McDiarmid=] then [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion retroactively]] replaced Witwer in the Creator/DisneyPlus version of "The Siege of Lothal", as well. In fact, outside of video games and non-canon media (such as the ''WesternAnimation/LegoStarWars'' specials), [=McDiarmid=] has portrayed Palpatine in all ''Star Wars'' media since ''Rebels'' season 4. |
| 325 | *** Creator/FrankOz would be brought back as the voice of Yoda after Creator/TomKane voiced him in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Clone Wars]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''. |
| 326 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'': For the first time in nine years, since Season 5 of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', Creator/AndrewKishino reprises his role as Saw Gerrera, after the character since then being [[Film/RogueOne visually portrayed]] and [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels voice]]-[[VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder acted]] in his later years by Creator/ForestWhitaker. |
| 327 | * In the Latin American dub of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Karrina Para quit the role of Sadie during the show's third season due to personal reasons, according to Doblaje Wiki. Mariangny Álvarez voiced her in all future appearances, except for Episode 89, where Para voiced her once again. |
| 328 | * ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'': |
| 329 | ** The '87 incarnations have appeared in crossovers with the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012]] incarnations. For [[WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever the 2003 crossover]] the original actors (Cam Clarke, Rob Paulsen, Townsend Coleman, and Barry Gordon) could not reprise their roles because of legal issues (the 2003 show was non-union, and recorded in New York) and had to be replaced by soundalikes. When the 1987 Turtles crossed over with the 2012 series, it did not have the same legal troubles due to being recorded in LA (and union), thus allowing the original '87 Turtles actors to return. |
| 330 | ** Speaking of Creator/RobPaulsen, he left the original series after the ninth season, so Raphael was voiced by Michael Gough instead for the tenth and final season. Paulsen's return for the crossover with the 2012 cartoon allowed him to play Raphael again in almost 20 years (it helps that he also voices the 2012 incarnation of Donatello). |
| 331 | ** In the French dub, Leonardo's second voice actor was Mark Lesser, while April O'Neil was voiced by Creator/LaurenceCrouzet. When the dub moved from the SOFI studio to H2 Productions (Seasons 5-6), both of them were replaced by Michel Tugot-Doris and Laurence Dourlens, respectively. Lesser and Crouzet reprised their roles beginning in Season 7, when the dub moved to the Prodac studio. |
| 332 | * On the subject of the Ninja Turtles, in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', Hun was recast with David Zen Mansley (who also voiced Agent Bishop) after the fourth season. For the final season ''Back to the Sewers'' and the film ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'', his original actor Greg Carey returned to the role. |
| 333 | * ''Franchise/TeenTitans'': |
| 334 | ** Gizmo and Jinx in the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'' series were voiced by Creator/LaurenTom for the majority of the series, but Creator/TaraStrong voiced them in their last appearance in "Titans Together", apparently just because they only had a few lines and there's a limit to how many voice actors can be in a single episode. Lauren Tom came back to both roles in the successor series ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. |
| 335 | ** Dr. Light was voiced by Creator/RodgerBumpass in ''Teen Titans''. Creator/ScottMenville replaced him in the ''Teen Titans Go!'' episode "The Colors of Raven", but Bumpass would reprise the role in later episodes. |
| 336 | * On ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', Buster Bunny was voiced by Creator/CharlieAdler, until the end of the third season, when Adler quit after being denied a part on Creator/WarnerBros' next big project, ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. John Kassir voiced Buster for the remainder of the third season, the ''[[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresSpringBreakSpecial Spring Break]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresNightGhoulery Night Ghoulery]]'' specials, and a few video games and promos on Kids' WB. Adler eventually returned to voice Buster for an unreleased [[Platform/Playstation2 PS2]] video game, ''Defenders of the Universe''. |
| 337 | * In 1996, a short series called ''WesternAnimation/ToyStoryTreats'' was produced, with Woody and Buzz being voiced by Jim Hanks and Creator/PatFraley respectively instead of Creator/TomHanks (whom Jim is the brother of) and Creator/TimAllen respectively. Later TV specials and the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStoryToons'' shorts would have Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return to their respective roles. |
| 338 | * Franchise/WinnieThePooh: |
| 339 | ** The 1983-1986 Live Action Puppet Show ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'' had Piglet being voiced by Phil Baron instead of John Fiedler. Fiedler returned to the role in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' and continued to voice Piglet in all Pooh productions until his death in 2005. The same series also had Tigger being voiced by Will Ryan instead of Creator/PaulWinchell, with Winchell also returning for ''New Adventures''. However... |
| 340 | ** Starting with ''New Adventures'', the role of Tigger would alternate between Paul Winchell and Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} due to Winchell's humanitarian trips to Africa and, later, his declining health. This would last until ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie'', where Cummings would take over the role permanently from then on as Winchell's voice had become too raspy from old age. |
| 341 | ** The 2011 ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh|2011}}'' film saw Bud Luckey replace Creator/PeterCullen as Eeyore. Six years later, the ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins''/''Winnie the Pooh'' crossover brought Cullen back to the role. |
| 342 | * While the tie-in game, ''VideoGame/YoungJusticeLegacy'', would see a number of cast changes, the third season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'', ''Outsiders'' would see the earlier voice actors return, including Creator/AlanTudyk as Psimon, Creator/DannyTrejo as Bane, Denise Boutte as Rocket[[note]]Granted, she was the second voice actress, but she did return for the series proper[[/note]], and Creator/AlysonStoner as Oracle. |
| 343 | * Lisa Vischer was the voice of Junior Asparagus in the ''WesternAnimation/{{VeggieTales}}'' video series, but was re-cast with Creator/TressMacNeille in the Creator/{{Netflix}} follow-up ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTalesInTheHouse''. Vischer would reprise the role in the UnReboot ''WesternAnimation/TheVeggieTalesShow''. |
