Summary Some franchises that have gotten too big for their own good have double-cast actors, having them play two completely unrelated characters. This is the opposite of movie franchises recasting characters, condensing the cast rather than expanding it. There are some obvious scenarios where an actor would play two characters — twins, clones, descendants, etc.
Maybe the Star Wars producers felt they had wasted Serkis, or maybe him being cast in Andor was a coincidence. Either way, Serkis plays Kino Loy, a major character in the highly-praised three-episode prison break arc of what is widely considered the best Star Wars TV show of the Disney era. Kino's fate is ambiguous by the end of the season; however, Serkis is confirmed to be returning for Andor season 2.
Doctor Who does address Capaldi's two characters' identical likenesses in-universe, as the new regeneration of the Doctor subconsciously chose Caecilius' appearance for himself. Meanwhile, actors including Colin Baker and Freema Agyeman also played multiple characters in the Doctor Who universe. The frequency at which Doctor Who does this suggests that the people behind the franchise enjoy playing with the thematic implications of double-casting.
