10 Actors You Didn't Know Played The Same Character In Different Movies
1. Ralph Bellamy & Don Ameche - Randolph & Mortimer Duke (Trading Places & Coming To America)
In John Landis' beloved 1983 comedy Trading Places, the antagonists are Randolph and Mortimer Duke (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche), the cruel commodities broker brothers who make a high-stakes bet to switch the life circumstances of a well-off broker (Dan Aykroyd) with a street Hustler (Eddie Murphy).
In the end, however, the tables end up turned as our heroes set up the Dukes to lose a staggering $394 million, resulting in their personal and corporate assets both being confiscated, leaving them bankrupt.
Hilariously, the Dukes make a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in another collaboration between Landis and Murphy - 1988's Coming to America.
In the film, Prince Akeem Joffer (Murphy) walks past two homeless men and passes them a fat stack of cash, and it's revealed moments later that the two men are in fact none other than the Dukes themselves.
The two even refer to one another by their first names, but the 30-second cameo is still so fleeting that it's easily forgotten for all but the most hardcore fans.
