Once in a while I watch a movie and fail to recognize an actor right away. Sometimes I only recognize them a few scenes later, or sometimes only in a subsequent viewing.
For example the first time I saw Tropic Thunder I did not realize that Tom Cruise was in it until I saw his name in the credits.
Sometimes a character looks really familiar but all it takes is different hairdo or looking heavier to prevent me from recognizing him.
For example Dum Dum Dugan looked really familiar in Capt America 1, but it took me 4 or 5 viewings before I recognized him as Neal McDonough, which is kind of crazy considering he has a very distinctive look.
What about you, do you have examples?
