Fixed that for accuracy. Phil LaMarr is in pretty much every game and cartoon made since 1995. His IMDB page is crazy. I'm pretty sure he's been in every Marvel and DC game and show since 2000. He doesn't just voice black characters

Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) in House of Cards:

Recently started watching X-files again, and was blown away to find that Jack Black, and Giovani Ribisi were in an episode. Man did Black look young. Also Ryan Reynolds was in an episode as well, and I'm only in season three. Reynolds looked so different, I wasn't sure it was him at first, but it sure as shit was. I forgot Seth Green, and Tony Shaloub were in episodes as well.

I just realised that Michael Gambon, who plays Dumbledore in the HP-movies, was playing the bad guy in Open Range:

My favorite was General Zevo in "Toys", where he plays the villain, and the biological father of LL Cool J.

If you guys want to see a fantastic Michael Gambon performance (and a classic bit of British television to boot), check out the BBC series of Dennis Potter's The Singing Detective.

Also I was surprised to find out he plays Ernest Hemingway in Midnight in Paris.

Ryan Reynolds was in The Odyssey when he was a kid.

I also remember him from an episode of The Outer Limits.

So is Billy Bob Thornton. Looks very different.

 

[Gully State]

Queen from 300

Queen from Game of Thrones

This one is more obvious but I just never put it together probably cause I loathed one character and liked the other.

Also..

 

[mellz]

Ted from HIMYM was in an episode of Six Feet Under.

One of my favorite King adaptations, and I love his performance in it.
