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

The Transporter franchise - the first three movies, anyway - star Jason Statham as Frank Martin, a driver-slash-mercenary who will deliver any package to any location if enough greenbacks are on the table.

For a time Martin was Statham's signature character, enthusiastically dispatching the baddies while cutting a trim figure in a dark suit.

And according to Louis Leterrier, who directed the first two Transporter films, Martin made an additional appearance outside of the series proper.

You may well have forgotten that Michael Mann's terrific 2004 thriller Collateral begins with assassin Vincent (Tom Cruise) swapping bags with a shady, unknown man at the airport, who just so happens to be played by The Stath himself.

Though the character is credited only as "Airport Man," Leterrier later confirmed that it is indeed a canonical appearance by Frank Martin. Given that he's absolutely in the business of dropping off packages and making anonymous trades, it fits like a glove.
