Actors from one show now on others

[DR.MID-NITE]

It is funny when you see an actor on a new show when you are so familiar with them in their characters from another show. For example whenever I see John Wesley Shipp. I see the Flash. Or if I see Michael T.Weiss I think of Jarod from the Pretender. Or how Ed O'Neill will always be Al Bundy.

Yeah same thing here, and whenever I watch The District and I see Jonathan LaPaglia I keep thinking of him as Mr. Parker. There are quite a few on that show that have me remembering their former shows.

Craid T. Nelson - Hayden Fox.
Ted Danson - Sam Malone.
Kelsey Grammer - Fraiser Crane--oh, wait, he still does that...

This may not really count, but I do remember seeing the guy who played Egon in Ghostbusters on the movie "As Good As it Gets" and I was all shocked. I sat there, like, "Hey, that's Egon!"

>shrugs< I'm weird. Ignore me.

[Ordinary Guy]

Alfonso Ribiero (sp.)

I grew up watching him on Silver Spoons, but he'll always be Carlton form the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

Ed O'Neal will always be Al Bundy

Mario Lopez- A.C. Slater

Whenever I watch Enterprise I keep waiting for Al (Dean Stockwell) to pop out of a holographic doorway and tell Scott Bakula what he needs to do to make his next quantum leap.

Al: "Ziggy says there's a 98.7% probabilty that you need to go to someplace called Risa and get it on with the Vulcan. Then everybody lives happily ever after and we leap outta here!"

Yeah, I just started sampling That 70s Show and everytime I see the mother (I don't remember her name), I think of Lisa Simpson... and that's just her voice! Sometimes I see Jonathon Kent as a Duke boy. And except for Star Trek's "City on the Edge of Forever" episode, I everytime I see Joan Collins, I think of Alexis from Dynasty. It doesn't matter where I see any of the Brady actors... they'll always be a Brady.

Type-casting is a real danger.
