Actors who played both JAMES BROTHERS.

In at least one review for I SHOT JESSE JAMES, it is stated that Reed Hadley is the only actor to play both Frank and Jesse James on film.

This is not true. Wendell Corey played Jesse James in ALIAS JESSE JAMES and his brother Frank in THE GREAT MISSOURI RAID.

Good trivia point, ram-30.

Note also, Reed Hadley played Wild Bill Hickok in Dallas (1950) and Wm Quantrill in Kansas Pacific (1951). And this was Tom Tyler's second of three appearances as Frank James, whom he played to Lawrence Tierney's Jesse in Badman's Terrirtory (1946)(see my review).
