| Mar 10, 2016 at 2:39 | comment | added | user6436 | I'm not making this an official answer since it's only 2 episodes, but some kind of honorable mention should go to Bill Mumy for playing the creepy kid in It's a Good Life (original Twilight Zone) and then the same character in It's Still a Good Life (2000's Twilight Zone). Going by IMDB's dates, the episodes originally aired more than 41 years apart, and he was 7 years old in the first one. | |

| Mar 6, 2016 at 9:05 | comment | added | Anthony Grist | @Catija This question seems like the very definition of trivia. There's no reason to want to know the answer other than knowing the answer. That's still a perfectly valid question though, and they're usually some of the more interesting ones. | |

| Mar 4, 2016 at 23:23 | comment | added | Catija | No worries :D I figured that was the case... and I didn't look at your user page to see that you certainly have the rep on SO to understand what I meant if I used less precise language than I did... | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 23:21 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | @Catija: Oh, sorry. I don't have enough rep on this site to see pending closes. I just saw the word "trivia" in his comment. | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 23:09 | comment | added | Catija | I'm not talking about Andrew (I think... since I don't think he generally sees this as "trivia")... someone voted to close this question as "trivia"... which I don't agree with. I can't see who VTC until the question gets closed, though, so I don't know who it was. | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 23:07 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | @Catija: I assume that Andrew Martin meant that enumerating a list would make it a trivia question, not that asking for the (single) longest one would. | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 19:45 | comment | added | Catija | Why is this "trivia"? We get this type of question all the time... this is a perfectly acceptable format for questions. | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 13:51 | comment | added | Anthony Grist | Considering Kate Gregory's comment on Fruitbat's answer, what's the age cut off for starting the role to be considered a child actor? | |

| Mar 4, 2016 at 9:36 | comment | added | Andrew Martin | @cde: You're misunderstanding me. We don't just want a list of people who have played long roles. We want the longest running TV role. Currently, that's 31 years and counting. So if you can't beat that, don't post it. Otherwise this is just a trivia list question. | |

@AndrewMartin considering regardless of their age at the end of their role OP is not limiting it to just currently airing roles...

| Mar 4, 2016 at 8:59 | comment | added | Andrew Martin | I think people need to remember we're looking for the longest running TV role, not examples of long running TV roles. Let the hunt commence! | |

| Mar 3, 2016 at 23:51 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | @Catija: That's the level of participation I tried to indicate in the wording of my question. I'm primarily interested in US shows which have scripted stories regardless of genre (so - less interested in variety shows, as an example). | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 23:42 | comment | added | Catija | As an example of the level of participation, do you mean like the girls from Full House... where they were in every (or nearly every) episode over the 8 seasons the show was on? Also, do you want to limit this in any way? Particular type of show, country, etc? | |
