The theme is interactive games. Today’s game is to Identify TV Shows Where an Actor Replaced a Previous Actor in the Same Role. Perhaps the show aged a character over the summer, or perhaps the actor was simply replaced.
The rules are as follows:
1. You have to include the name of the TV show.
2. You have to include the name of the original actor.
3. You have to include the name of the actor that replaced the original actor.
4. You have to include the name of the character the two actors play.
5. You may NOT repeat any of my examples. (Preferably, please don’t repeat any examples from the comments above yours.)
6. You may NOT use the internet to reference anything. (Please play honestly.)
7. You may NOT use daytime soap operas. (That would be like shooting fish in a barrel.)
Alright, now it’s your turn. I hope that each of you will rise to the occasion and play along with me. I’ll look forward to reading your answers below…
Tell me… Are you the only person that can do your job? Have you ever had a job where you were the only person who knew how to do whatever you did?
Rachel Carrera, Novelist 
Aw, man, if I could use movies, I’d have one right off the bat, but I really don’t watch that many TV shows. 😦 But if movies could count, I would definitely say the Incredible Hulk – Ed Norton – Mark Ruffalo – Bruce Banner/The Hulk
Okay, you get credit for movies! 😀 Great answer! 😀
Thanks! Considering I haven’t even watched any of the Hulk movies… 😛
LOL! 😀
Dr Who – so many times I can’t name them all!
LOL! Excellent answer! 😀
Charlie SHeen ugh…lol brain block…Demi Moore’s former significant other hahaha Charlie lolJake’s Uncle Bahahaha Oh have mercy.
LOL! Nice! 😀
This is going to fail, but I am forbidden from Googling. Alias Smith and Jones. Someone named Duewel committed suicide and was replaced by another actor for the part of Hannibal Hayes.
You did very will without the Google. 😀
Yes, think I touched on the TV topic in another one of your blogs…as a doctor once pointed out to me, we are all replaceable in our jobs except for that of mother, wife, etc.
LOL! That’s true at least most of the time. 😀
It happened in Blue Blood, Nikki Reagan-Boyle is played by Sammy Gale now but I don’t know who the actress was in the first episode without google. Fun topic!
Thank you! 😀 Great answer! 😀
I can’t play. I only know of Bewitched and the Partridge family. Although in 3’s Company Suzanne Summers was replaced by another blonde who was supposed to be her cousin.
Yes, Chrissy was replaced by Cindy plaued by Jenni Lee Harrison. Great answer! 😀
Oh Sesame Street!!!! The replaced the Bald Headed Gordon with a Gordon that had hair back in the 70’s. That was a sad day.
YES! That’s right! Excellent answer! 😀 😀
I can remember several where the original actors were replaced by new ones, but can’t remember the names of the actors, so can’t play unless I break the Google rule.
LOL! Well if you know the name of the series to use Google, then you get partial credit. 😀
“My Three Sons,” Uncle Charley, the guy who played Fred Mertz and the guy who didn’t play Fred Mertz who came after him but looked way older to me anyway, Rachel.
Great answer, Mark! Yes, William Frawley who played Bub was booted out and William Demarest who played Uncle Charley came on. 😀 (My Three Sons is one of my favorite shows.) William Demarest was actually younger by about 10 years, but that hair he had made him look creepy and old…. He looked like he got his hair styled by the same people that cut Moe Howard’s hair in The Three Stooges! 😀 (Maybe because both shows had Three in the title, they used the same hairdresser.)
Thanks, Rachel. The Three Stooges is another classic show that had swap-outs. Curly, right? Or was it Shemp?
Right! I think there was Curly. Curly Joe and Shemp actually. I hate the stooges. 🙂
I don’t know. They don’t seem to do this much, any more… Oh, wait!
The Clone Wars–Count Dooku–Christopher Lee–Corey Burton. (If I remember correctly.)
The Clone Wars–Chancellor Palpatine–(I can’t remember the actor’s name)–Tim Curry.
The original actor they had playing Palpatine passed away.
I rather miss the Christopher Lee Dooku.All great answers! 😀
Thanks! 😀
