So, I was watching the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that was on this week (Season 10, Episode 8, “Persona”).
Right away, I thought “Hey, it’s that chick from Carnivale, haven’t seen her much lately.” Just a few minutes later, I followed that up with, “Oh my God it’s Frenchie from Grease”. She played a nurse last season, and apparently a doctor this season. Good for her, she’s been promoted.
So the detectives start to investigate, and one of the first people they run across is B.J. from MAS*H.
Well, it’s like this. When actors lose jobs, they then go on and audition for other jobs. It’s just like any other employment situation, except that actors tend to lose jobs a lot, as jobs in acting rarely last. Then you see them on another show and are surprised. That daffy prince from Blackadder is House? Really?
My fave is Boti Bliss. I first noticed her in a scene from a serial killer movie that I dare not mention on this message board because of the incredible furor it would arouse, except to say it was very naked and sexual. Next time I encounter her she’s a regular on CSI: Miami doing procedural stuff. From the name in the credits on the movie, “Boti Bliss” I figured she was some hippie chick who was probably moving up from a variety of porn gigs, but instead she’s an actual actress who’s willing to take risks in a role. Who knew?
