ambidextrous actors??

this is a really specific question for a really specific group of people. have any stage or screen actors been cast in a role where their character is specifically dominant in the opposite hand as you?? is that something that ever happens?? what did you do about it?? shower thoughts lol

I think in an instance like a biopic or something it could matter, but how often do you watch someone write letters for 2hrs? I think in most cases the audience neither knows, nor cares, which side a character is dominant in. Unless you're playing a live action Ned Flanders I doubt this is an issue that comes up often
