Captain Pike. Need I say more?
or just in a series at any time.
my favorite was on the pilot for THAT 70's SHOW donna had a little sister that would never been seen or heard mentioned ever again. what happened to her? Fez chain her up in a cave to satisfy his "needs"?

Different guy played Face in the A-Team pilot. Until BSG was canceled and the network needed to find a new place to put Starbuck, whom they had under contract. The rest is history!
The Dollhouse pilot was almost the entire first season stuffed into a single hour. Way more of a proof of concept than a well-told story. The actual show was much more decompressed.

It seems to me that Cellia's eldest daughter was written out of further episodes of Weeds due to network demands.

The leaked True Blood pilot had a different actress as Tara.

Family Matters was infamous for this. The youngest daughter, Judy, was recast after the pilot and written out with no on-screen explanation after season 4. To say nothing of the mom being recast for the final season, and the recasting of the mom's sister's kid after the first season.
Being Human's pilot only had one of the original three actors stay on once the series was commissioned (Russell Tovey aka George the werewolf).
