First Role: Kraglin in Guardians Of The Galaxy

Second Role: On-set Thanos/Rocket in Guardians Of The Galaxy

Sean Gunn, like Benedict Cumberbatch, hasn't just played multiple roles within the MCU, but within the same MCU movie.

Brother of director James Gunn (which, just maybe, helped him land both parts), Sean primarily has a supporting role as Kraglin, one of Yondu's Ravagers, who can be seen at various points throughout the film.

His other roles were a little more behind-the-scenes, however, with the actor providing the on-set performances for both Rocket Raccoon and Thanos.

The characters were actually voiced by Bradley Cooper and Josh Brolin, respectively, but Sean stepped in on-set so the actors had a visual reference to work with.

That Thanos part must've been tough - imagine sitting down in that chair all day?
