Question
are there any movies that danny kaye plays a multiple number of characters?  thank you

Answer
Yes he did.


In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Kaye played seven different incarnations of Mitty.  

The Inspector General (1949) Kaye played a village buffoon who impersonates an important government functionary. Kaye loved opportunities for mistaken identity and makes the most of here.

Danny also played dual roles in the 1951 On the Riviera, as a night club entertainer and a French military hero. The film also starred Gene Tierney.

Hope that helps!  Happy Holidays to you.

I know funny. My husband knows slapstick. between the two of us, we know most of the funny movies and who stars/directed them. we`re particularly fond of movie bloopers, and can recite verbatim from films like caddyshack, meatballs, animal house etc. huge bill murray fans, as well as robin williams and steve martin.
