However, there are a few scenarios that could make it *seem* like someone won for the same role in both categories:
* Playing the same character in a show that shifts genres: A show might start as a comedy and then transition to a drama, or vice versa. In this case, an actor could win for the same character in both categories, but it would be for different seasons or different aspects of the show.
* Winning for the same character in different years: An actor could win for a comedic performance in one year and then win for a dramatic performance playing the same character in a later year.
It's important to note that the Emmy Awards are highly specific about categories. While actors might play the same character in different contexts, they are always judged within the specific genre of the show at the time of the award.
