10 Actors Who Sneakily Played Two Characters In A TV Show

When the makers of Gilmore Girls announced that they were going to reboot the series for one final season, set 10 years after the show ended, fans were extremely excited to see some of their favourite characters return.

One of the best side characters from the show was Rose Abdoo's Gypsy. Gypsy was the town mechanic, she was no-nonsense, sarcastic, sometimes rude always hilarious character that fan's were looking forward to meeting again for the reboot.

And Abdoo definitely gave fans what they wanted when she returned to the show, and more. Now the story behind Abdoo's duo role is a little bit different to the others on this list, mostly because this all happened by accident. When Gilmore Girls created the character of Berta, a maid in the Gilmore house, they did not invent her with Abdoo in mind.

Abdoo ended up snagging the role when she turned up to the reboot's table read and was asked to fill in for the characters that had yet to be cast. Abdoo states that she read for around 7 characters that day, but it was whenever she read Berta's lines that the rest of the cast and crew fell about laughing.

So the role was given to Abdoo, and she, the make-up department and the showrunner all worked together to make Abdoo completely unrecognisable in her new role; from accent and dialect to wigs. And it worked! Abdoo went mostly undetected by fans until it was revealed in the credits!
