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

7. Ben Stiller (Orderly Hal) - Happy Gilmore/Hubie Halloween

Though perhaps not the major talking point coming out of Adam Sandler's golfing riot that was Happy Gilmore, Ben Stiller still made a sizeable impact on those chuckling on when terrorising the titular character's grandma in her nursing home throughout the flick.

In a scene which unfortunately didn't make it into the theatrical cut, Stiller's Orderly Hal ultimately got his just desserts in the form of being sent flying through a window. But far from forcing him to change his ways, Gilmore's retaliation seemed to only serve as the catalyst for a career change.

Returning as the devilish, handlebar-moustache-sporting Hal in 2020's Hubie Halloween, Stiller is seen mocking and abusing what he thinks is a sleeping Richie Hartman before discovering in the movie-opening scene that Richie had actually bolted from the bed instead.

It's an unfortunately brief nod to one of Stiller's more volatile but no-less hilarious turns, but one that provided audiences with a sweet laugh and dose of nostalgia before having to endure the rest of another largely painful "comedic" Sandler experience.
