* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': Subverted InUniverse. ''Annie of the Stars'' is a ShowWithinAShow featuring a magical girl saving the day against Skullgirls and other threats that has run long enough that the first actress to play Annie is now the show's producer. Unknown to the public at large is that there has actually only ever been ''one'' person playing Annie: Annie herself, made TheAgeless due to a wish on the Skull Heart made by her own mother. The girls credited for playing Annie are actually life doubles who pose as Annie off-set and act as Annie's {{Secret Keeper}}s so her being centuries old doesn't get out.

** Noire was voiced by Creator/ErinFitzgerald throughout the entire series until 2016. At Anime Expo'17, an English trailer for ''VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline'' was showcased. During the showcase, a fan noticed and tweeted that Noire is voiced by a different person. Erin [[https://twitter.com/ErinFitzgerald/status/881228768374800384 responded to the tweet by confirming]] that she is no longer voicing Noire as she stands on getting all games with SAG contracts. The voice actress replacing her is Creator/EricaMendez, who voiced Moru and Blossom Aisen in ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart''. While the strike had ended on September 23, 2017 and Fitzgerald did express the idea of wanting to [[TheOriginalDarrin reprise the role of Noire]], the switch ended up being permanent as Mendez would voice the character in all future installments [[note]] This is further evidenced in ''VIIR'', where Mendez re-recorded all of Noire's lines in the game. Strangely, the same ''didn't'' apply to her EvilCounterpart Dark Black, who still retained Fitzgerald's recordings, though having a VoiceOfTheLegion made the change unnoticeable)[[/note]] .

Carrie Keranen has always voiced Rom according to every source I've went through, so it's likely that Erika Lenhart's Rom was merely a Mandela Effect most people had when mk2 was first released in the West. Either way, the example does not fit TOD and thus would be moved to the "Other trivia" section of the series' Trivia page.

** Like with ''Franchise/StarWars'', Corey Burton also replaced Christopher Lee as [=DiZ=] for ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories RE:Chain of Memories]]'', though this imitation is not as good as others of his. Strangely, Christopher Lee came back as [=DiZ=] in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 358/2 Days]]''. Lee would end up being TheOtherMarty to Burton when both games were included in the ''Kingdom Hearts HD Ⅰ.5 [=ReMIX=]'' compilation and ''Days'' was remade as a cutscene movie, for which Burton redubbed the lines Lee originally recorded for the game to maintain vocal consistency between the two.

Young Simba and Mufasa had their original VA's return by way of [[FakeShemp reusing audio from the original film]]. Also the entire cast of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' was replaced as the original cast was shooting the sequels and couldn't return (although they did want to).
