Elisha Cook Jr and Lee Patrick reprised their roles from The Maltese Falcon for The Black Bird, 44 years later
Sidney Poitier first played Mark Thackeray in To Sir, with Love (1967) and then again 29 years later in the sequel. Paul Newman left it 25 years between his gigs as Fast Eddie Felson. There were 23 years between Tony Perkin's first and second appearnances as Norman Bates.
Any other examples?
