These TV stars were replaced in the middle of their shows by other actors

Because we get so engrossed in these TV shows, it’s sometimes difficult to spot any mistakes. We’re so focused on the storyline we don’t really check in with the characters and what they look like. In fact, there’s a high chance you’ve watched a few TV shows where the stars were replaced in the middle of their shows by other actors, and you never even noticed it happening. It might have even been your favorite show that was the culprit.
There can be any number of reasons for the switch – maybe an actor held up the production for more money, was dissatisfied somehow or just felt it was time to move on. Whatever the case may be, there are quite a few instances – some memorable – of an actor leaving a show, only to be replaced by someone else as if nothing happened, with no one seeming to notice their mom now looks like a totally different person.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air told us all about how Will’s life got turned, flipped upside down and how he became the prince of Bel-Air. We all know Will Smith was the show’s star attraction, but it did a good job of giving the rest of the family time to shine as well.

Aunt Viv – the aunt we all wanted – was originally played by Janet Hubert, but she reportedly didn’t get along with her on-screen nephew, leading to her eventual firing. Daphne Maxwell Reid replaced her after season three, to fans’ chagrin.

Modern Family is one of the best modern comedy shows ever. It follows the lives of the Dunphy, Pritchett, and Tucker families, and it’s safe to say that it’s all a little dysfunctional.

Over the past decade, Modern Family has graced us with some of the greatest characters ever, and even though we love all of them, we’ve grown especially fond of the sassy Lily. As Cam and Mitchell’s adopted daughter, she starts off as a baby, and was played by a pair of twins, but the role was recast with the older Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.
