There have been a lot of examples where an actor would cross over to another tv show playing the same character.
But what are some examples of an actor (or actress) being on multiple TV shows playing different characters at the same time?

Maisie Williams had a recurring role on Doctor Who in 2015 when Game of Thrones was still on.

Lisa Kudro played Phoebe on Friends while continuing to play Phoebe's twin sister Ursula on Mad About You.
Alison Brie - Madmen and Community
Heather Locklear - Dynasty and TJ Hooker
Pedro Pascal - The Last of Us and The Mandalorian
Wayne Knight played Newman on Seinfeld and Officer Don on 3rd Rock from the Sun at the same time.
Armin Shimerman was playing Quark on DS9 while guest starring occasionally on the Practice as a Judge a character he continued with onto Boston Legal. At the same time he had a recurring role as the Principal on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and guest starred on Seinfeld as Kramer's Caddy.
Wally Kurth for the last 15 years or so has been doing duel roles as Justin Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives and Ned Ashton on General Hospital.
While not technically a regular on either, Jeffrey Dean Morgan made waves in 2006 by appearing as Denny Duquette on season 2 of Grey's Anatomy and John Winchester in season 1 of Supernatural at the same time, roles that, towards the end of the season, were appearing in every episode. I still don't know how he did it.
I think with all his various appearances in the past decade, Giancarlo Esposito must've overlapped somewhere. Mandalorian, The Boys and Better Call Saul most likely, although all these series had long breaks.
Plus Morgan again will be in the new season of the Boys and Dead City season 2, not sure if they'll air at the same time though.

I believe Daniel Gillies was playing Elijah Mikaelson in The Originals at the same time he was playing Dr. Joel Goran on Saving Hope.
Voice actors can definitely be included.
Here's a case where someone had two shows on the same night - one live action, one animated:
- Kristen Schaal on "The Last Man on Earth" and "Bob's Burger"
Speaking of,
- H Jon Benjamin on "Bob's Burger" and "Archer" (they even had a crossover of sorts)
If adding voice acting Chris Potter he's now voicing Cable on X-Men '97, but voiced Gambit for season 1 through 4 of X-Men TAS. The whole time while doing X-Men TAS he was starring in the show Kung-Fu the Legend Continues with David Carradine.
Megumi Hayashibara was probably playing three iconic anime characters-Ranma (female) from Ranma 1/2 Rei Ayanami (Evangelion) and Lina Inverse (Slayers) at the same time in 1995.
