* French-Canadian actor Manuel Tadros voiced Rodrigo Borgia in both the English and French versions of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' and ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood''

Sometimes, however, this isn't the case, even if the actor ''is'' able to speak more than one language. This can be be because the actor is too high-profile for the dubbing studio to afford, because the actor is unable to travel to where the media is being dubbed, or because the actor is playing a character in an adaptation, and [[RoleReprise the character's original voice actor is reprising their role instead]].

* In the foreign dubs of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', Mexican voice actor Mario Filio was hired to redub Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}' lines as Ed the hyena in most languages.

* Cantinflas dubbed himself as Passepartout for the European Spanish dub of ''Film/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays1956''. Oddly enough, he never dubbed himself in Latin American Spanish, despite being Mexican, nor he allowed that film dubbed during his lifetime for some reason, and that region only got a dub of that film in 1993, after Cantinflas died. In the Latin American Spanish dub, he was dubbed by Salvador Najar instead.

Otherwise, Wolfgang Draeger dubs Big Bird into German when he appears in American segments.
