You know every so often you notice an actor, and then take a look at their profile on imdb, only to realise that the person you've been watching for xyz minutes/hrs/episodes was infact the same person who started in some cheesey role 20 years ago... you'd just never realised?

I'll give you an example,
Vaginia Haye:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0382162/
http://www.virginiahey.com/

Most commonly seen looking like:

Was actually that lass in Mad Max 2:

Keeping with the Mad Max motif, The Mouth of Sauron was also the helicopter pilot:

Feel free to add any more of your own, usually a b-movie secondary character turns up in a tv series or a supporting role in a movie decades later.

Don't have any pics, but that fat guy "Hugo" from Lost. He played a role in Tales of the Crapper. Was funny to find out he played in a movie like that and ends up in a hit series :lol:

he was also the evil backstepper in an episode of seven days, and tim taylors neighbour in season 3 of home improvement (watched recently)

i dont think jennifer aniston in leprechaun really counts does it? or Harold "jelly belly" bishop from Neighbours appearing in Body Melt?

HAHA dinky for cheesiness thats lame, he was Jim Robinson in australian soap Neighbours, infact his granddaughter Hannah Martin killed him, and her grandma Helen... well she didn't really but when jim died of a heart attack on the kitchen floor Hannah was the only one there, when Helen died on the sofa of old age... again Hannah was the only one there... coincidence or something much much darker lurking in ramsey street? you decide

Image

Hannah when she killed Jim

Image

Hannah when she slaughtered Helen

She's a killer Whore, obviously when she killed Jim at such a young age she felt she had to do mens mags when she got older, then helen happened to see the pictures and cast her defiled filthy granddaughter assunder to live in the filth she had created for herself, so she had to be put down too

or did i really jsut make all that up?

i've never watched 24 but i recall seeing adverts with Jim in as some high ranking type, and the small pic looked like him (although not when you view the full size pic), but still funny :lol:

i must go inform Hannah that Jim is still alive :googley:
