Gandalf and Aragorn? Of course they were different -- they were not the same person. They were similar in that they were wise, and that they were well-travelled and used to life in the wilds; however Aragorn was a Dunedain and a Ranger, and the heir of Elendil. His mind and the tasks he performed were not the same as those of Gandalf, who was much older, a Maia and as such immortal, playing a different part in the story and a different character altogether (other than the travelling aspect).
Aragorn is a king, albeit a king in exile who has yet to take the crown he is entitled to, while Gandalf is a sort of old man in appearance with an unexpected fiery spirit and will that shows him truly.
