10 Actors Who Played The Same Character In Completely Different Movies
6. Tom Conway - Dr Louis Judd
The Character: Dr Louis Judd
The Movies: Cat People and The Seventh Victim
Characters randomly turning up in unrelated movies isn’t just a new phenomenon. Way back in 1942, actor Tom Conway played a psychiatrist going by the name of Dr Louis Judd in the classic horror Cat People about a young woman called Irena who has the rather unfortunate affliction of turning into a panther when she’s aroused or angry.
Dr Judd met a sticky end in Cat People when he pissed all over the Hippocratic oath by making a move on Irena who proceeded to maul him to death after transforming into an angry sex panther. That’s what you get for crossing the line with your patient, doctor.
Curiously though Dr Louis Judd made a miraculous recovery from his death and a year later appeared in The Seventh Victim treating a young woman who had got herself tangled up in a satanic cult in New York City.
Although it would appear Dr Judd is a special kind of psychiatrist with the ability to come back from the dead, many speculate Conway’s reprising the role was an attempt to capitalise on the success of Cat People by including a familiar face in The Seventh Victim which funnily enough failed as the latter film flopped pretty hard.
