Tommy Cannon was the Canal enthusiast to really embellish the gag when Lennie [Bobby Ball ] gets dragged along the canal in the Swan Man of Ilkley he then played "our Cliff" to Lennie/Florrie in Get out of that then .
 
Christine Cox played Cousin Olive in Getting Same Home and a TV producer in The Last Surviving Maurice Chevalier Impressionist.

( She's down as being a producer but actually she played the receptionist.)

Hopefully in the spirit of the post Christopher Beeny as Herman Teesdale and Morton Beamish although strictly it was a re-invention and name change after his wife left him .

If others stars had to do that in real life then Mickey Rooney would have probably struggled for a new name given he was married 8 times I believe .

Please accept my sincere apologies but my final punt at this is quite obscure as I am sure that this "actor" has been in in countless episodes but only gained a credit for one episode. I give you Percival the Pigeon who has, I am sure , flown past in many scenes in many shows but his most challenging role and one he is credited for was when he had to play the whole episode in drag and learn some French [pigeon of course] for the role of Gladys in Last Post and Pigeon.

It may have been a stunt double , Perce did most of his own stunts himself but for the more dangerous scenes the insurance company insisted that double was used and it doesn't get any more dangerous than incurring the wrath of Nora, a fearsome sight.
