* Pierre Arditi and Sabine Azéma are only good friends in real life, but you'd be forgiven for thinking they're married... Filmmakers have a thing for making these two French actors play couples. Alain Resnais pairs them in almost all of his movies and they've been either husband and wife or lovers in at the very least ten films since 1983.

* French comedy giant Creator/LouisDeFunes was frequently paired with the same actors, even in unrelated films:
** Notably, Robert Dhéry, Creator/MichelGalabru, Paul Préboist, Jean Lefèbvre and Maurice Risch as a {{Foil}}, BumblingSidekick or HamToHamCombat adversary. Sometimes, De Funès felt the need to have someone to comedically dialogue with in pictures where it wasn't in the script, phoned his good friend Galabru, and the latter came on set without even having been originally cast.
** Creator/ClaudeGensac played his wife in seven movies, including three times in the ''[[Film/LeGendarmeDeSaintTropez Gendarme]]'' series. And she still had minor roles in three others (''Film/TheWingOrTheThigh'', ''Theatre/TheMiser'' and ''Film/LaSoupeAuxChoux''), not counting theater plays (where they first met). Sometimes you'll find [[ActorRoleConfusion people who think they were married]] in RealLife (it wasn't the case).
** His two highest-grossing movies (''Film/TheSucker'' and ''Film/LaGrandeVadrouille'') were with another French comedy superstar, André Raimbourg, better known as Creator/{{Bourvil}}. They also played together in ''[[Film/TheTripAcrossParis La Traversée de Paris]]'' (1956) and ''Poisson d'avril'' (1954), where De Funès had smaller roles. ''La Folie des grandeurs'' (''Delusions of Grandeur'') was planned to be their fifth together, but it was derailed by Bourvil's death. Creator/YvesMontand took his place after his wife Creator/SimoneSignoret told Gérard Oury about him, and the whole story was rewritten to match differences between Montand and Bourvil.
** After his memorable scene with Creator/JeanGabin in ''[[Film/TheTripAcrossParis La Traversée de Paris]]'' (1956), they were reunited in ''Le Gentleman d'Epson'' (1962) and ''Le Tatoué'' (1968), where they're an OddCouple for the whole last movie.
** In both ''Film/{{Jo}}'' and ''Film/TheBigRestaurant'', he's facing Creator/BernardBlier as a SympatheticInspectorAntagonist (and StraightMan).

* Creator/PeterCullen and Creator/FrankWelker first worked together on ''Mighty Man and Yukk'' as the respective duo, but the two would continue to collaborate on further cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'', ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' and most famously ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', where they solidified themselves as the original voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively. The two would collaborate on the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' [[note]]Though Cullen would appear as Prime in all five films, Welker had scheduling conflicts that prevented him from voicing Megatron in the first movie (though he would do it for the first two video games). He would reprise his other famous role as Soundwave starting with the second, then take over from Creator/HugoWeaving during the fourth film as Megatron's reformatted state Galvatron before he would come back as Megatron in the fifth[[/note]] and again on ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
