Tom Hardy (Legend)

In roles originally planned for two actors, Hardy persuaded the director to let him play both Reggie and Ronnie Kray.

Armie Hammer (The Social Network)

He played twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. Shout out to Josh Pence, who stood in for Tyler on set and had his face digitally erased!

Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)

She plays not just two, but an impressive number of characters in this series featuring multiple clones.

David Schwimmer (Friends)

Who could deny Friends a second nod for Schwimmer's portrayal of Rachel’s Ross-a-like date, Russ?

7

Ali Larter (Heroes)

Not only does she play Niki Sanders and her sister Jessica, but also former politician Tracy Strauss to boot!

Jake Gyllenhaal (Enemy)

He's so good, why not cast him twice? This movie is about a man who becomes obsessed with his doppelgänger.
