I too was thinking of Star Trek, but these examples don't seem to fit the
constraints we were given, as they are not different versions of the same
show (they are spin-offs or sequels of various types), and most of the time
they are not guest stars in both (though my first thought, Mark Leonard,
mentioned above, was).

I was trying to think if there was an actor who played maybe a family
member of one of the victims of the week on the NBC Colombo who showed up
in the same role on the ABC version, but drew a blank. I almost want to say
that an actor who played a cop on the NBC version played the same role on
ABC, but can't confirm that. My daughter is suggesting that an actor showed
up in both The X-Files and Fringe in the same role, but I think that was
the same actor in different roles.
