Quantum Leap (1989–1993)

The show's premise involves the male protagonist, Sam Beckett, leaping into various individuals, including women. However, this is an in-plot device where Sam's canonical gender remains male, and he is temporarily inhabiting another body. This falls under the exclusion for performances involving gender disguise within the story that maintain the canonical gender.

The original series features Dr. Sam Beckett leaping into various individuals, whose races change per episode as part of the show's core premise. The main characters, Sam and Al, maintain their established races throughout the series. No pre-existing, canonically established characters from prior source material are portrayed as a different race.
