How famous characters have changed over the years, played by the same actors (20 photos)

Before you are those unique cases when the concept of "the role of the entire life "for some actors and actresses has acquired a literal meaning.





And all because of the fact that over the years they returned or are still returning to incarnation on the screen of one and the same character, starring in the sequels of their hit projects. Moreover, the time distance between these films is so great, that the viewer simultaneously sees the aging of two people at once - the actor and his character on the screen.

And some of these "characters of a lifetime" even have several. As you will see in this post, the king of many years of playing the same heroes is Harrison Ford - he has three of them!
