10 Actors Who Sneakily Played Two Characters In A TV Show

In Hollywood, you gain your actor stripes when you guest star on a long running crime or medical drama. Nowadays, pretty much every well-known actor or actress has a credit on a show like Grey's Anatomy or Law and Order. And at the beginning of your career, to snag one of these coveted guest spots is a HUGE accomplishment, and pretty much assures that you're going to have a notable acting career.

So if snagging ONE of these spots means a prosperous career, then what does snagging TWO roles mean?

Well, for Hayden Panetierre, it meant solidifying her as one of the best young actresses of her generation. But if you didn't realise that Panetierre appeared twice of Law and Order SVU, be kind to yourself.

Unless you were a Panetierre SUPERFAN that had followed her entire career, you definitely didn't notice that the adorable Ashley Black from the season 2 episode "Abuse" was also teen prostitute Angela Agnelli from the season 6 episode "Hooked".

Little Panetierre was absolutely adorable in her first appearance during her first stint on the show, with curly blond locks and rosy checks, while the fully grown Panetierre from "Hooked" sported heavy make-up and dead straight hair; so you an be excused for not noticing.
