10 More Actors You Didn't Know Played The Same Character In Different Movies

10. Michael Sheen (Tony Blair) - The Deal/The Queen/The Special Relationship

To many, Michael Sheen is fondly known for his blockbuster work on the likes of the Underworld and Twilight flicks. But for those outside of the vampire-obsessed demographic, the Welsh powerhouse is more intrinsically linked to folks such as David Frost and Brian Clough, producing mesmerising turns in both Frost/Nixon and The Damned United, respectively.

However, when looking back on the BAFTA nominated thespian's career, it's hard to look past one role in particular as the one that he was simply born to play. Evidenced in the fact he's played the part on three separate occasions.

Though not classed as directly connected in the traditional sense, Sheen would play Tony Blair in The Deal, The Queen, and The Special Relationship, with those first two projects being being helmed by Stephen Frears and the last seeing Richard Loncraine take the wheel. Unofficially, this trio of flicks made up the "Blair Trilogy", seeing Sheen bring the former Prime Minister to life in the various stages of his political career.

Rounding out his real-life figure work, Sheen has also strutted his stuff as comedy actor Kenneth Williams and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" host Chris Tarrant in Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa! and Quiz, respectively.
