He was in THAT?

[Hellfire]

I don't know if it is just me, but I get surprised all the time when I find out an actor I like has been in another show I've watched. I was shocked when I found out that the guy that plays the lead character on Sons of Anarchy was the English roommate from Undeclared. I also just found out that the guy that plays Hardison on Leverage was Voodoo Tatum on Friday Night Lights.

Anyone have any others? I'm sure I'll have more when I look some more.

Joan Holloway from Mad Men also being Saffron from Firefly. It had been long enough since I saw the latter that I didn't immediately recognize Christina Hendricks at all.

My favourite 'He was in THAT?' is King Abdullah II of The Kingdom of Jordan in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.

"Ducky" from NCIS appeared during the final season of the A-Team.

[The Great Ray]

I had one big "He was in THAT?" when I saw Sawyer from LOST (Josh Holloway I think) in an Aerosmith's video song... one of them with Alicia Silverstone, "Crazy" I think.

Jeremy Renner being a vampire that Angel turned in a one-off episode. I was watching it the other month and recognized him immediately.

[Benji]

Julie Benz as Rita in Dexter, I'd forgotten she was also Darla in Buffy.

My girlfriend was surprised to find that the blonde guy in Sons Of Anarchy used to be in Queer As Folk.

Dr Cox being in Seven. Dr Cox being the only thing I've seen McGinley in at all, so he is very much just Dr Cox to me. Seeing him in SWAT get up and swearing like a trooper was a shock, having seen it a couple dozen times before I realised.

Dr Cox is in Platoon as Dr Cox, albeit not as powerful. He was in Identity and Wall Street (avec moustache) as well.

He also played Pete Dunham in Green Street Hooligans.

He also played Pete Dunham in Green Street Hooligans.

And is also notable for having probably the fakest sounding English accent I've ever heard in a genuine Englishman

It grated me to no end in Green Street and Undeclared.

All this talk about Dr. Cox and no mention of this?

He was also in Point Break, which I last saw a year ago tomorrow. True story.

On the subject of Dr Cox I think he gets killed off in Highlander 2 as well. Don't all rush out to watch it though, wish I hadn't!

"Ducky" from NCIS appeared during the final season of the A-Team.

Ducky was bloody Illya Kuryakin and received more fan mail during the run of Man From UNCLE than any other TV star of the period. David McCallum was a HUGE star.

And he was in The Rock.

The most recent one of these for me, mostly because I knew nothing about the film in question, was Tom Waits showing up in Book Of Eli.

Another one from Sons of Anarchy, I didn't know that Ron Pearlman was the lead in Quest For Fire.
