You mean, the lead in Lynch’s Dune (though Dale Cooper became his face, yeah) and the fill-in host on Live! that Regis nicknamed “Krakow!”? (OK, yeah, I knew her from Ally McBeal too, and I barely watched that show. She’s very memorable.)
More seriously, am I the only person to whom Nathan Fillion is the third guy on Two Guys and a Girl?
To me George Clooney is Sela Ward’s boyfriend Detective James Falconer from “Sisters”.
To me, Richards is memorable from an ep of “Night Court” where he thought he was invisible and so tried to rob a bank.
“I dunno how I git caught. They must have had some high-tech detection system…”
“Yeah - it’s called broad daylight!”
Dan was the ladies man of the pair, pretty well established before Rebecca. It was also confirmed that he slept with Roberta Bernstein at the Hotel D’Espana, but hadn’t realized Bobbi was short for Roberta or that the hotel was in Spain.
Tying back into the thread, Coulson on “Agents of Shield” is always the guy that bought the network at the end of “Sports Night” to me - years later he looks and acts the same.
“Every time I see you, you’re in this bar. It worries me!”
“Every time I see you you’re in this bar, but I’m unconcerned.”
Back in the 80s, HBO would play the same movies over and over again, and as a kid, I watched them repeatedly.
I remember instantly liking Hugo Weaving in his first decent role, the TV mini-series Bodyline in 1984.
I recall both Ted Danson and James Woods from The Onion Field in 1979.
Jennifer Aniston: Suzie, Herman’s sister, Herman’s Head.
Jane Sibbett: Heddy, Herman’s Head.
Yeardley Smith: Louise, Herman’s Head.
Hank Azaria: Jay, Herman’s Head.
Geez, whatever happened to Herman? Everyone else’s careers boomed.
No, no, you are not.
And that goes for Ryan Reynolds, too.
Viggo Mortensen is forever some random Amish dude (Witness, 1985).
I think of Satan, from The Prophecy.
I always remember him as the kid from Fright Night.
Jennifer Aniston will always be Jeannie Bueller to me. Always.
To me ‘Friends’ was Jeannie Bueller’s new TV show.
This. And since I was never into Gilligan, he’s still Maynard G. Krebs to me.
And I was one of the handful of people who enjoyed David Hyde Pierce in *The Powers That Be," *prior to Frasier.
I will never think of him as anything but.
Me too. And Traylor Howard when she popped up on Monk.
For me the entire cast of Band of Brothers will always be the guys from Band of Brothers. That does not include Ron Livingston and David Schwimmer who were too established before the show. But it does include Donnie Wahlberg regardless of what he did before.
Whenever I see Jeff Goldblum I always think “Was he Tenspeed or Brownshoe?”
Not really, but I do tend to think of his obscure work like Vibes or Earth Girls Are Easy or Transylvania 65000, rather than his prominent roles like Jurassic Park or The Fly or Independence Day.
This was the one I came in to mention. When I first saw Fellowship in the theater with my dad and Elrond appeared, Dad whispered “It’s Agent Smith!” and I replied “It’s Mitzi!”
Robert Carlyle is Hamish MacBeth, with his doggie Wee Jock!
I just saw a rerun of that recently - it was much worse than I remember it being at the time, although that had nothing to do with Carlyle and everything to do with terrible scripts and directing.
Whereas I think of Traylor Howard first and foremost as the love interest on the short-lived Boston Common.
He quit while he was still ahead.
Before he was Happy Gilmore or Opera Man, Adam Sandler was that guy from the American Express commercial furnishing his apartment to impress a cute female neighbor. He even put in a girl mannequin. Hope he paid it all off in one month!
Alec Guinness was the hilarious fellow in those great Ealing comedies, before he was the Colonel in “Bridge Over the River Kwai,” before he utterly defined George Smiley in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” and “Smiley’s People.” Obi Wan-Kenobi? Nah!
