I always find it interesting when the same actor plays multiple characters in the same movie or TV show. For example, in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Elsa Pataky (Chris Hemsworth's wife), plays both the Vulvalini General (leader of the group that Furiosa comes from) and also Mr Norton, a survivor who joins Dementus (the Hemsworth character)'s biker gang.

Other times they just look the same, and it's weird when everyone else in the movie/show act like they don't recognise them, for example Garret Dillahunt plays a character called Jack McCall in the first season of Deadwood, then comes back as a different character, Francis Wolcott, in season 2.
Some actors are amazing at playing different people within a single show without even changing their physical appearance much, like Tatiana Maslany, who plays many different characters who are all clones in Orphan Black.
Which shows or movies can you think of where actors did this? Did it work well, or was it distracting?
