This is a list of television programs in which one character was played by multiple actors. In numerous television programs, producers have cast multiple actors for the part of the same character.[1] This list does not include different actors briefly playing the same character at significantly different ages, but it does include actors playing the character continuously as the character ages. Actors are listed in chronological order, where possible. For a list specific to soap operas, see list of soap opera recasts.
