List of twin performers on stage and screen

This is a list of twins who appeared together in entertainment acts or performing arts.

Shared roles

Primarily among identical twins, and particularly with child actors (so as not to work them at the same level as adults), producers have sometimes taken the opportunity to divide up a single role between two performers.

Other twin performers

Fraternal twin sisters from Italy (born 1932), Anna Maria and Maria Luisa Pierangeli, had substantial acting careers and each won a Golden Globe, but never appeared on screen together. Anna Maria was discovered first and given the stage name Pier Angeli for her MGM contract. Her success led to Maria Luisa receiving a contract from Paramount and adopting the name Marisa Pavan. The closest they came to a shared performance was that each starred in a separate episode of the Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse series: Pier Angeli in Season 1's "Song of Bernadette", the first regular episode after the show's kickoff, and Marisa Pavan in Season 2's "Come Back to Sorrento". Additionally of note is that Sodom and Gomorrah, in which Pier Angeli starred, also featured the Kessler Twins as dancers.

Similarly, identical twins Lauren and Lorraine Vélez (born 1964) have each appeared in episodes of Law & Order and Elementary, but not together.

Families on screen with twins

In addition to those competing and performing in reality television shows as included in the table, two prominent shows featuring large families included twins. Jon & Kate Plus 8 had the Gosselin twins (Cara and Mady) along with their younger sextuplet siblings. The Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting included two sets of twins, Jana and John-David (fraternal) and Jedidiah and Jeremiah (identical).

Two other shows centered on families with dwarfism also happened to involve twins. Our Little Family featured the Hamill family with parents, an older son, and twins CeCe and Cate. The Roloff family in Little People, Big World included twin brothers Jeremy and Zach.
