9 out of 10. One omission from this list is Tony Randall, who played multiple roles in the 1964 curiosity THE SEVEN FACES OF DR. LAO. I enjoyed that movie very much and wish that it were better-remembered.

3/10 I don't mind, I knew none of these. It's one of the worst scores I've ever got LOL! I once was able to get the elusive 0/10 but of course I don't remember which quiz it was..

8 out of 10. Missed 2 and 8. That's what I get for not reading the question completely before selecting the answer.

8/10
Saw seven of these, remembered the trailer for #5.

How about Peter Sellers playing 3 roles in “The Mouse That Roared”?
Or as both of the lead characters in his last film "The Fiendish Plot of Dr Fu Manchu".

Diana Rigg played a double role in an episode where Steele & Peel switched bodies with enemy agents!

I’d love ME to run the Avengers.
Yes, the 2 seasons with Mrs. Peel and the last with Tara King.
All the previous seasons were low budget and not that good, reflecting the fact that Britain
was only then fully recovering from WW 2 and the loss of many of it's overseas
markets when most of it's colonies got their freedom.
