* ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch'': Mohawk is one for Stripe from [[Film/{{Gremlins}} the first movie]]. In this case, it is justified because, [[WordOfGod according to director Joe Dante]], Mohawk is in fact Stripe himself reincarnated into a completely new character.

* In ''Film/TheRoom'', Kyle Vogt, the actor who plays Peter (essentially the voice of reason, or the man who "is always playing psychiatrist"), left during shooting - he had told the production team he would only be available for a limited time, but due to the film's TroubledProduction, his scenes were not complete by the time he had to leave for another project. Another actor replaced Peter and took the lines he would have had in a later scene. However, the new character (named "Steven" in the credits) never has any formal introduction. It is just implied he is another friend of Johnny and company.

** Creator/SidJames was known in the series for mostly playing TheChessmaster and DirtyOldMan that were [[InformedAttractiveness weirdly sex gods]]. When he was busy with other media commitments, he was replaced by Creator/PhilSilvers and Harry H. Corbett (from ''Series/SteptoeAndSon'') for ''Film/FollowThatCamel'' and ''Film/CarryOnScreaming''. Like Sid James, both weren't conventionally attractive and were at least his age (50s) at the time (or close enough).
