    Voyage of the Damned! :) Which also featured Clive Swift, who had previously appeared in Revelation of the Daleks.

    And there's Lis herself, of course, but that one's too obvious!

    There have been quite a few, but my brain isn't working at the moment. I thought of Geoffrey Palmer then went blank. Bernard Cribbens was in the 2nd Dalek film if that counts.

    Pity they couldn't have got Jean Marsh to do an episode given her parts across the classic series.
    I can throw in a cheeky candidate
    David Tennant was in some Big Finish stuff which is based in the classic era

    Arthur cox who played cully in the dominators was also in the eleventh hour. He holds the record for the longest gap between appearances in doctor who(42 years).

    And if playing the same character counts, Lis Sladen and Peter Davison.

    William Thomas is the only actor to appear in the classic series, the new series, and Torchwood. He played the undertaker in Remembrance of the Daleks, the guy who dies at the beginning of Boom Town, and Gwen's dad in Torchwood. Impressive really!

    Some believe this was the same character. I like that idea.

    Maybe it was the same line/part and The Doctor took her back 25+ years early

    Louis Mahoney - played the older Billy in Blink, and he was also in Planet Of Evil and Frontier In Space.

    Trevor Laird played Martha's Dad, and was also in Mindwarp.

    I'm amazed nobody has mentioned Tom Baker yet. (Also Peter Davison, if you count Time Crash.)

    Most recent one on screen(I think!)...Trevor Cooper, who was Friar Tuck in Robot of Sherwood as well as Revelation of the Daleks. (He was very good in, one for the teenagers, Star Cops.)

    Edit: Zoe Wanamaker was in State of Decay?! Genuinely had no idea and liked that story a lot.
