SGA comes to mind, except it wasn’t designed that way. The character was actually named something else, but DHewlett won the role. He had already been established as McKay on SG1, so they decided McKay (minor 1-2 ep character) would go to Atlantis!

McKay: We need to get to the device control room.

McKay: Well then we need to create a diversion.

McKay: Explosion diversions are the very cornerstone of diversions!
Jackson: You don't have any better ideas.
McKay: I don't have any better ideas, yes.
