Okay, so there I was on Saturday night, Mrs Madcap out with friends and Madcap Jr. fast asleep, so I decided to watch a DVD (as opposed to Big Brother, The Task).
After a bit of inner debate I plumped for SE7EN.
Despite having watched this several times before I had never clocked who John Doe's lawyer was and nearly choked when Toby Ziegler (okay Richard Schiff) minus beard and with more hair popped up representing the baddie.
Has anyone else come across WW cast unexpectedly ?

Bradley Whitford with a lot less hair in The Client. He didn't have a mega role, Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon took care of that. Also suddenly appeared in My Fellow Americans whilst I was flicking through the channels last Christmas. One of the main reasons I decided to watch The West Wing all those years ago was because of John Spencer. Having seen him as the FBI Director in The Rock I thought he was a great actor and one to watch. Stockard Channing popped up in Grease. My God, how could I not know that. I've not seen Grease since I was a kid, and even then it was because I was at school, it was raining outside so we were all crammed into the school hall to watch videos. As a kid, even when it was raining I had better things to do than last the duration of an entire film. I knew Richard Schiff was in Seven. I recognised him in that film having been introduced to him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. He had a good part in that film - got torn in half by the T-rexes after an hour. He's in Deep Impact, too, a complete crappy disaster movie. Mary Louise Parker - dammit her name appeared on the opening credits of Red Dragon and my heart sank. Sometimes I re-watch a film after reading a WW cast member is in it. Take Primary Colors for example. Seen it all before and then realised Allison Janney has a part, so I watch it again. Finally, yeah I'm reaching the end now, Joshua Malina in The American President. I only noticed him after seeing him as Will Bailey in Season Four. The end.  |

Allison Janney in Drop Dead Gorgeous, Brad in My Fellow Americans, Brad in Billy Madison (He does not look good with that hairdo!), Martin and Anna Deavere Smith in A.P and did you know Stockard was 34 when she played Rizzo? Its amazing she managed to pass it off!. It was kinda confusing watching A.P though cos Martin played chief of staff and Anna played press secretary

Watching 'Sea of Love' last night and came across John Spencer, John Goodman and Michael O'Neill. Also was shocked to find Alison Janney voice coming from the starfish in 'Finding Nemo'.

Ron Butterfield in Nixon. Ted Marcus in Ghost World. Oliver Babish in Hope Springs. There's always someone whatever film you watch, I've started getting anxious until I spot one when watching a new film, that's not weird is it?

You can usually find at least one West Winger on TV at a time, on the cable channels that nobody watches, like Hallmark for example. Yesterday alone there was Tim Matheson and Ron Silver starring in there own made-for-TV dramas.

Bradley Whitford pops up in Billy Madison - with Adam Sandler, Red Corner, and an episode of malcolm in the Middle that i saw the other day. Also Richard Schliff plays a not very nice lawyer in the film I am Sam.
Did anyone see the film The Hours cos Alison Janney plays Meryl Streeps lesbian lover in that. It's an excellent fim.
But i've never seen Donna in anything but the West Wing.

things i have spotted recently........cj in the ice storm, rob lowe in a very dodgy snl comedy that was on late night last week, get a bit freaked out seeing any of them in similar roles but as the wrong character. like in my fellow americans and the american president. saw a debearded toby recently on an ally mcbeal repeat as a wierd guy wanting to donate his heart while he was alive or something. josh also popped up in an ep of felicity as his real wives husband (am so ashamed to admit i watched that show- but i was a layabout student at the time!) |
