I'm looking forward to Sean Gunn. I've never seen him on anything outside of Gilmore Girls.

[Browncoat]

I don't recognize any of these names, either.

I don't know Sherry Cola at all, sounds like a drag queen.

Looking her up (as I'd never heard of her), I confirmed my assumption Sherry Cola is a chosen, not given, name so I don't have to wonder what the hell her parents were thinking.  Sherry is real, Cola is not, and "Sherry Cola" started when picking a name to leave Yelp reviews, became a general social media name, and then her stand-up comedy name (since there are a lot of nicknames in comedy) and stuck as her stage name.  I've never seen her in anything.

I didn't recognize Sean Gunn's name, either, and, checking his credits, the only thing I've seen him in was an episode of Any Day Now -- but, since his role was "clerk" I quite understandably do not recognize him.

D'Arcy Carden, on the other hand, I greatly enjoyed as Janet on The Good Place and then Greta on the tragically short-lived streaming series A League of Their Own.

Oh!  I recognize him now!  Never would have known his name, though.

Sean Gunn was in Gilmore Girls as quirky Kirk. And Darcy Carden was perfect as Janet in The Good Place. I am hoping she's good at the game, it would break my heart if she isn't!

I like Sherry Cola. She had a role on the show that was a spin off of The Fosters... I can't remember the name of the show at the moment. But she played a lesbian who was also a comedian and also doing the admin for a collective household in the Bay Area. It was a cool show and really the only thing I've ever seen on TV that had characters with any cultural similarity to my own life experience. 

I also saw her in a movie... again I can't remember the name of it. But she seems to play characters who are somewhat outside the mainstream culture, and queer or queer-adjacent.
