So I'm watching major league 2 for the first time and up walks willie mays Hayes. I'm thinking, what the hell, in the first one it was Wesley snipes and now he is played by Omar epps.

Do they really think no one will notice?

Why not just add a whole new character if snipes wasn't available for the sequel?


Can anyone think of other cases of this in TV/movies?

Has it ever worked?

Batman has been played by how many now ?

People don't care.

It's called acting.

Uh...James Bond?

He's been played by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and now Daniel Craig.

Batman has been played by Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, and now Ben Affleck.

It happens all the freaking time and works all the freaking time.

Morty Seinfeld and Ross' lesbian ex on friends were played by different actors in the pilot. Not sure if that counts.

The one I didn't like was when foster didn't come back for Hannibal.

One that worked was Jennifer in back to the future.
