In this age of remakes

[brb23]

I was just wondering if any (leading) actor has starred in both the original and the remake? Often actors have cameos in the remakes (Dawn of the Dead 2004 and Tom Cruise

 

[FORKY]

All I can think of is cameos - Lou Farrigno, the 1970s Incredible Hulk, was a security guard in one of the recent Hulk movies for example.

Not really what you're looking for but Danielle Harris was in halloween 4 and 5 and returned in the remake playing a different character.

Michael Caine was in both versions of 'Sleuth', he played the opposite character to the one he played in the original.

 

[mr.shawn37]

they got the original voice of Optimus Prime from the Transformers animation movie for the new film versions.

Ricki Lake had a cameo in the remake of Hairspray

And a character from The Parent Trap had a smaller role in the 1998 remake

Dang! So close - yeah I forgot about Sleuth.
