Where To Watch
Can you I.D. the more famous roles these actors played on the exact same show?
Recurring characters snuck onto their own shows to play different roles.
Have you ever noticed an actor you love, playing a different part on a series where you've already seen them play a well-known, established character?
Sometimes, it's an actor who had a great appearance as a guest star and then was invited to join in a beefier part. Other times, actors we'd already seen in established roles – including cast members – sneak onto their own shows, disguised by a very different role.
Either way, it's always fun to spot the stars in different parts! Below, we'll show you a scene of an actor in a lesser-known role. It's up to you to figure out the other role they're much better known for. Good luck!

10/10 further proof I had no life back then.
Haha. I have no life now, that's why I'm taking these quizzes...…….and I don't do too well on most of them 'cause I missed a lot of TV back then.
The photo from "Happy Days" didn't load for me. Took a guess and got it right. Did the photo load correctly for the rest of you?
It load ok for me on my old iPhone. 👍
Yes..........
Seems like those of us who got 9/10 all missed the last one.
9/10! missed the last one. #10 did me in.
Do have quizes on Amos & Andy show, 1940s?
MeTV wouldn't do that show because it's been banned for 50 years. Watch an episode on You Tube and you'll understand why!!
quizzes. In the 40s, Amos 'n' was on radio. It was on TV in the 50s.
