Recently noticed that Whiplash's Paul Reiser plays the 'doctor' in the second season of Stranger Things.

Seriously didn't think that was Jared Leto in the second photo of his portrayal of Mark David Chapman.

Rewatching the X-Files a couple of years ago I recognized actors that I've become familiar with since the series originally aired but didn't remember being in it.
One example is Mark Pellegrino who plays Lucifer in Supernatural. I was like "holy shit it's Lucifer" when I saw his name at the start of the episode lol.

I was really young when I last watched the film so I'm not surprised I had to be prompted to see this connection.

i watched recently jurassic park 2 and noticed this, at the start of the movie when Goldblum is inside a train (or metro) next to him there is a very young eli roth, now director of succesfull horror movies, pal of tarantino and i suspect a famous actor.

Five actors that appeared in The O.C. went on to appear in the Twilight movie series. To this day I don't know what the connection is, but I can't imagine it's coincidence:

Cam Gigandet
Jackson Rathbone
Justin Chon
Jose Zuniga
JD Pardo
Nikki Reed

Glass City.
Just watched 'Wish Upon' and it took me a few minutes to realize Ryan Phillippe from 'Cruel Intentions' was the dad. That was a feel old moment for the night.

I was watchingbMST3K Terror From the Year 5000 and recognized the name Salome Jens. Here she is from 1958.

And then there's that guy from Supernatural. Here he is about 10 years before he appeared on Supernatural looking a bit slimmer.

I wouldn't have recognized Salome simply because it was 40 years before DS9. Mark Sheppard I just never watched Voyager more than once and it was a dumb Icheb episode.

It blew me away when I noticed Daddy Pig from peppa pig is the dungeon keeper voice. Also, Mr Larson (the guy with a nail in his head) from happy gilmore was the alien in to serve man twilight zone episode.

I remember this thread from the old place. The only one that truly blew my mind was Donnie Walhberg from Sixth Sense. A buddy told me this a few years after seeing it and I truly was like there is no f'ing way.

I'm happy to see this forgotten thread again. Here are some from the top of my head.
  • David Duchovny (Fox Mulder in X-Files) is briefly visible on screen as a transvestite dancer in an episode of the original Twin Peaks serial.
  • The mysterious creepy recruiter who approaches Wade Wilson in Deadpool (2016) is played by Jed Rees. You may know him better as Teb, the chief alien in GalaxyQuest (1999).
  • Bilis Manger, the caretaker who is the chief antagonist in the Series 1 finale of Torchwood, is played by Murray Melvin, who starred alongside Rita Tushingham in the 1962 Bafta award-winning kitchen sink drama A Taste of Honey.

Oh and speaking of Twin Peaks, Don Davis played Major Briggs in Twin Peaks, and then appeared as an almost identical character, General Hammond in Stargate SG1. Switching between the two series can be a surreal experience.

He was also Scully's father in X-Files, somewhat of a similar role as well I'd say.

The guy who plays Dollar Bill on Billions is the same guy who plays Pastor Tim on The Americans. Took me a season and a half to figure that one out.

Isn't the guy in the bottom picture also in the Battlestar Galactica reboot? He plays Baltar's lawyer.

I liked the recent one with Benicio Del Toro in James Bond: License to Kill. I totally had forgotten he was in that one.

Never in a million years would I have noticed guy was the actor from Smallville. It wasnt until I googled his character history that I noticed the name. More Chris ODonnell than Tom Welling.
