who are some actors who played a role in a movie, then played the same role in a show that was made from the movie?

Gary Burghoff played Radar in the movie "MASH" then played him in the series.
Gene Wood played Gen. Hammond in the movie "MASH" then played him in the series.

Bruce McGill played D Day in the movie "NATIONAL LAMPOONS ANIMAL HOUSE" and also played him in the short-lived horrible TV version "DELTA HOUSE"
Some of the other actors from that movie also played the same roles in that HORRIBLE TV series.
