For decades, TV had the reputation of being a lesser art form, and actors strove to transcend their lowly beginnings on network shows to reach superstardom on the big screen. Since heavy-hitting shows like&nbsp;The Sopranos and&nbsp;Mad Men&nbsp;signaled a renaissance of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prestige-tv-had-to-watch-to-fit-in/damon-davis">prestige television</a> in the early 2000s, however, actors have increasingly turned to the small screen for meatier, more complex roles to showcase their range. For some, this has offered not only desirable dramatic material, but also an arena for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-tv-stars-who-nailed-their-comebacks/tyler-mitchell">much-needed comebacks</a>.

The only thing better than landing one role in a major Hollywood production is landing two. It may seem odd, at first thought, that someone could or would play two roles in the same movie, but it <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-double-role-movies/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">actually happens pretty frequently</a>. The phenomenon&nbsp;is especially common in comedies, where leading character actors fresh off Saturday Night Live tenures are anxious to show off their various silly voices on the big screen.&nbsp;

Sometimes actors will play their own twin, other times actors will play multiple small roles, yet at other times&nbsp;an actor will hog all the screen time and play the film&#39;s protagonist and antagonist simultaneously. While pulling off double duty to this degree takes a lot of work and talent, actors like Mike Myers and Kristen Wiig have performed this stunt to great effect.

Vote up your favorite examples of actors pulling double duty.

There are many reasons why an actor could join a successful television show in the midst of the series' run. One of the original stars could quit. Or be fired. Or (sadly) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-passed-while-filming/famous-celebrity-deaths-list">pass away</a>. Or the producers might want to add a totally new character to move the show in a new direction or just add a new face to the existing cast.Whatever the reason, joining a successful show mid-run often comes with challenges for the actor. They might be resented by the cast members who have been on the show from the start, they might struggle to connect with their part, or maybe the fans of the show don't warm up to them. Or the actor might face any one of many other challenges. On occasion, the actor may actually fit seamlessly into the cast and crew.&nbsp;Below, &nbsp;actors talk about their experiences when they were cast in a successful <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sitcoms-in-television-history">sitcom</a> during its run.
