10 Actors You Didn’t Know Played The Same Character In More Than One TV Show

3. John Roberts - Linda Belcher (Bob's Burgers & Archer)

Abed Cougar Town
20th Television

First of all, take a moment to get over the fact that Linda Belcher on Bob's Burgers is played by a man. All done? Good. And second of all, take a moment to get over how weird Linda looks in a different animation style.

Roberts lends his voice to Linda in the fourth season of Archer, which saw the titular character working in a burger shop while suffering from amnesia. Archer has been living for the past few months as "Bob Belcher", Linda's husband and the main character in Bob's Burgers.

Later in the episode, Archer has to leave the store after he is tracked down by the KGB. He kills a bunch of them once his spy training kicks in, which begs the question - did he kill Bob and then forget about it? Where is Bob now? Maybe it's best not to think about it.

The whole thing is a nod to actor H. Jon Benjamin, who voices both the characters of Sterling Archer and Bob Belcher. it's quite an extreme length to go to for one joke, but hats off to the Archer crew for putting so much time and effort into this.
