# Actors who play multiple copies of a single character(e.g. Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith in The Matrix series);
# Non-speaking extras, or stock characters (e.g. Redshirts);
# Voice actors who do not physically appear on screen in multiple roles (e.g. John Rhys Davies as Gimli and Treebeard in the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy - Gimli is on screen, but Treebeard is a voice-only role);
