Started watching Designated Survivor and thought the General looked familiar.

Went to his Wikipedia page and saw that he was Gibbs from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Looked further down the filmography list and Jesus Christ he was the sex shop owner in the first episode of Bottom.

Here's one.

So, I haven't played it yet, but it seems like everyone knows Ellie from The Last of Us:

e0rPXeJ.jpg


Ellie's voice actress' name is Ashley Johnson. As far as live action roles go, I'd say she's most recently known for her work with Joss Whedon films, including The Avengers:

and Much Ado About Nothing:

but she's been an actress going all the way back to 2000 and before, including playing Mel Gibson's daughter in What Women Want:

and Chrissy Seaver from Growing Pains:

But here's the most interesting bit for me: she also played this girl:

Gretchen Grundler, from Recess.

She was Gretchen from Recess? Holy Shit. She deserves so many more roles, live action and VO. She's amazingly talented.

Last night I re-watched Buckaroo Banzai, and today I learned that Ronald Lacey, who played President Widmark ("Lectroids? Planet 10? Nuclear extortion? A girl named John?")

...also played everyone's favorite Nazi, Gestapo agent Major Arnold Ernst Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I'm watching Mushishi and Ginko's voice sounded so familiar. And then it hit me, it's King Roland from Sofia the First. A Disney show my daughter watches all the time.

Now that I look at the guys IMBD page he's one of those voice actors who's been in everything. So it's really not that mind-blowing, but the fact I guessed it without research made me happy.

I was genuinely surprised and didn't realise he was Harris in one of my favourite sitcoms Porridge. He was brilliant in that too, watched it many times with my dad and never realised.

So I'm currently re-watching The Road, and I've just realized that Guy Pierce turns up as the man at the end...

Fucking hell, I never realized.
 
Just watching "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" and I realised after all these years and times I rewatched this movie that the bad guy "General Ramon Esperanza"
latest


is portrayed by Franco Nero. Famous for the Django-movies, Django Unchained and the recent John Wick 2.

I rewatched the scene and it still doesn't look like him.

OK, so, was rewatching Raimi's Spider-man and guess who's here

Xena herself!

I thought it was strange that more actors from Saimi's mythos (apart from his brother and Ash) didn't appear in the movie...
