In the film and tv shows we have actors getting replaced by someone else to play them either when film goes to tv or viceversa . The most notiable one is Buffy from Swanson to Galler (dont know if its spelled right) another one is not horror but The mother on freshprince in Bell air come she went from dark skinned to light complected . If anybody can think of any other changes like the changing of the wish master . Please post them I thought this would be fun to do . so holla back

Bruce Payne took over for Julian Sands in the Warlock series and didn't miss a beat. James Le Gros took over for Michael Baldwin in Phantasm II and did well but Baldwin was much better. Tuesday Knight took over for Patricia Arquette as Kirstin in the Nightmare series, I liked Arquette better.

J.C. Brandy portrayed the older version of the Jamie Lloyd character in HALLOWEEN 6, picking up where the excellent child actress Danielle Harris left off in Parts 4 & 5. Although Brandy had the Janet Leigh-Drew Barrymore role, and suffered from a bad script, she (or anyone else, for that matter) could not replace the superb Harris.

Monika Schnarre took over for Deborah Foreman as Sarah in the Waxwork series. Sad to say no one can replace Ms. Foreman.

Henry Kane was played by Julian Beck in Poltergeist 2 and by Nathan Davis in part 3. There was a stunt double for Carol Anne in the finale of part 3, which Nancy Allen carried out after Heather O'Rourke passed away before the ending was filmed.

My favorite replacement player has got to be Anthony Hopkins portraying Dr. Hannibal Lecter in SOTL and Hannibal, replacing Brian Cox who was Dr. Lecter in Manhunter.

Can't forget Pamela Springsteen continuing the role of Angela from Felissa Rose in the Sleepaway Camp series.
