One of the best things about Toku is seeing previous actors play new roles in different series, however I am not talking about guest appearances because we have a buttload of them, but rather Toku actors who had a major role in the past, and then returned to play a new major character in a new installment. Super Sentai in particular is ripe with this. Examples include Kenji Ohba (Gavan, Denzi Blue, Battle Kenya), Kouhei Takeda (Otoya Kurenai, Kamen Rider Grease), Hideo Ishiguro (Kai from Den-O, Ultraman Orb), Mao Ichimichi (Gokai Yellow, Washi Pink (although this is unique because she only voiced her, not portray her physically)) among many others.
Personally, I really want to see Wataru Kuriyama (Ryuga Dogai/Alternate Garo) playing a Kamen Rider or something.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mitsuomi Takahashi AKA my main man Satoru Akashi back as a different hero, I liked him as that karate teacher in that Kamen Rider OOO 2-parter though it's quite possible he may have moved on in his career by now!

Zi-O having 2/3 of the Future Riders portrayed by actors with major Sentai roles had me really wishing Hiroya Matsumoto had gotten the chance to be one. Dude was one of the best parts of both Magiranger and Go-Busters, and I'd really love to see him bringing that charisma to a Rider show in some capacity. It would be loads of fun.

I'm not usually very good at keeping track of which actor plays what characters, whether it's in toku or any other media. But I feel like the guy who played Lucky in Kyuranger, Takumi Kizu (I looked that up just now) could make a good main Kamen Rider. IMO, Lucky was written too comedically which made him annoying, but was actually pretty cool in his serious moments, so I'd like to see what that actor could do in a role that leaned slightly more to the serious side.

I can see Ayaka Konno and Rihito Itagaki who played the Time Jackers Ora and Heure respectively in Zi-O as rangers in a sentai show. And maybe get Toshiki Seto who was Hiiro/Brave in Ex-Aid to play a goofy tsuika senshi for a change.

Kobayashi Yutaka is pretty popular now so it's unlikely that he'll come back but I'd like to see him in a more lighthearted role like Shapool in Gaim Gaiden since he actually has a lot of variety.

I still remember how hype it was when opening the internet and the headline for Kamen Rider Grease's actor is revealed and it literally said that a veteran Kamen Rider actor is playing him, and then it was even more exciting to see Otoya Kurenai himself returning.
Honestly I'm surprised that teen Ryotaro played just a supporting character in Ghost. You'd expect him to be a main Rider or at least additional Riders. Which is why it's also hype to see that kid from Zero movie play Ultraman Geed himself. I would like to see Koyomi's actress play a new major role, I quite liked when she guest in Ghost, and you see how different her character is than in Wizard. Quote:

Most likely they'll get to play additional Riders, since main Riders are locked for newcomers.
