[Webster]

Who is the only actor/actress to receive multiple Oscar nominations for the playing the same role and they have never received an acting Oscar nomination for any other role.

Since there was (no) overwhelming interest, the answer is Stallone for Rocky Balboa (the first movie and Creed). Others, including Paul Newman and Al Pacino have been nominations twice for the same role but have other acting nominations. Stallone was robbed in Over the Top.
