Ok, so I'm channel surfing today, and I finally settled on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Mainly because the fun memories that the theme song induces, and the fact that when the show blinked on I did a mental double-take when I saw Turk on the show trying to get Sabrina to go out with him.

So, being completely flabbergasted I decided to do a little imdb check to what else Donald Faison has been in.

A few really popped out to me:

Kim Possible

Higglytown Heroes

Clone High (VERY VERY FUNNY SHOW!)

Clueless

Sister, Sister






So I'm thinking, who else has a favorite actor, and then found out they were in some, I don't know, um goofy roles (that's you didn't know about?)

Funnily enough, the first time I saw "Scrubs," I said, "Hey, that guy was in 'Clueless'!"

Just the other night I was flipping through the channels and found some 70s flick. The scene in question was a group of schoolgirls (high school or college), one of whom apparently had some kind of psychic abilities. I thought one of the other girls kind of looked like Daryl Hannah. Got online to do some checking - it was "The Fury," a 1978 Kirk Douglas movie, and Hannah's first credited role.

Also, I was surprised when I realized the Mac guy from the TV commercials was the nerdy fan who helped save the ship in "Galaxy Quest."

Not goofy, or an actor, but the last time I watched "The Adventures of Robin Hood" [1938], the TV station uncharacteristically ran ALL the credits afterwards---there, playing 'Captain of Archers', was legendary (among archers) sportsman Howard Hill.
Will be looking for his role tonight when TCM runs it again (6PM).

Shatner was also on The Twilight Zone. He was the only guy on the plane who could see the gremlin.

One of the many, many things my movie project has taught me is that one should never be surprised at anyone's filmography. Such as Bill Bixby's appearance in The Apple Dumpling Gang or Harry Morgan's appearance in anything that will give him a paycheck, apparently. (Ditto Christopher Walken.)

Shatner also played the saintly Alyosha in The Brothers karamazov and the priest in Rashomon

I remember an old episode of "Perry Mason" (hmmm... are there any other kind?) where Leonard Nimoy was the the guy who jumped up at the end & screamed "I did it! I did it!"

Speaking of "Turk", I always think I see the woman who plays his wife "Carla" as background/minor characters in a lot of things...and I'm always wrong. I guess all middle-aged latin actresses with curly hair look the same to me *shrugs*. Or there's just one that looks similar to her that is in a LOT of things.

Davey Jones (Monkees) was also on Perry Mason, but under a different name. He played a jockey...Duh!

A while ago I learned that "Derek Smalls", the bassist from Spinal Tap, is also - Ned Flanders.

Talk about a variety!

Brent Spiner ("Data") was on a couple of episodes of Night Court. Terri Garr was on an episode of Star Trek (TOS).

Well, I've *heard* of all of them.

Seen them?

Not so much.

Clooney was on Roseanne? As who, and how did I miss that?

Booker was Rosanne's boss, and was played by George Clooney.

(11 episodes, 1988-1991)

He also had a bit of a problem in another Twilight Zone episode with a devil's head that spouted fortunes. "Nick of Time" IIRC.

DeForest Kelley had a bit part in the movie Raintree County, where he played, appropriately enough, a Confederate officer with a broad southern accent.

I was channel surfing the other night and came across 'Geronimo' starring Chuck Connors.

Unfortunately for my understanding of the plotlines, my attention was completely transfixed by the sight of Adam West as a cavalry officer.

I kept waiting for him to pause, half-turn to the camera and say, "What fiendish devilment is the Riddler up to now, old chum? Quick, to the BatCave!"

The fact that he didn't completely ruined the film for me. 1.5 stars only.

My wife also enjoys watching the old series of 'Bewitched' - I recall seeing Adam West make a guest appearance in that as well (along with a heap of other contemporary and later well-known actors).
