Imagining That Different Characters Played By The Same Actor Are In Fact The Same Characters After A Name Change
eg:
Walter White from Breaking Bad is Hal from Malcolm In The Middle
Q in Skyfall is Pingu from Nathan Barley
Edward Lyle in Enemy Of The State is Harry Caul from The Conversation (this is deliberate, but still)
no
nah
NEIN
Elaine from Seinfeld is also Christine from The New Adventures of Old Christine and the Vice President from Veep
oh and she's also Maggie Lizer from Arrested Development
I like Elaine being Veep
Bruce Wayne from Batman is actually Patrick Bateman from American Psycho 20 years later
THIS IS GOOD
Hence the name
Bateman

I'm glad I was a part of this historic moment
Leeloo from the Fifth Element is Alice from Resident Evil in the future

Ben Aflleck in The Town is the same character as Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting (this one works).
Richard Kimble in the Fugitive becomes Norman Spencer in What Lies Beneath
this time he IS trying to kill his wife.

to join the CIA.
Years later he is found in the sea with gunshots and amnesia. In a series of dramatic adventures, he discovers his codename, JASON BOURNE.
Titanic was part of Cobb's inception

sometimes i like to imagine that Al Pacino can't actually act, but just turns up on film sets and makes a bunch of noises and somehow it just works out ok
I saw Dog Day Afternoon for the first time recently
Basically Al Pacino walks back and forth for 90 minutes, shouting incoherently. It's mesemerising
I'm keen to rationalise how Russell Crowe's character in Master and Commander also turns
out to be father of a murdered gecko in Gladiator. Is it a past life thing?
Or rather he becomes a washed up singing cop, chasing an ex con around France
OH MY GOD
Gladiator/Les Mis mash up
DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?

Eddie Izzard quote
I think it's because the characters became bigger than the actors. In the sense that if you ever saw TJ Hooker, this cop series, it was Captain Kirk pIaying TJ Hooker. Not William Shatner the actor, it's Captain Kirk, taking a month off on earth. "I want to be a cop for a bit."

Slightly related to the above,
when the game of Jumanji finishes and the timelines fall apart, Van Pelt the hunter is catapulted back through time to become the managing director of the White Star Line and subsequently makes a bit of a mistake when he deems his new ship "unsinkable".
bruce willis was die hard the whole time
