Loandbehold December 5, 2014 Share December 5, 2014 (edited) Checking the four pages, I didn't see a thread for this. If anyone has a better title, feel free to get it changed. Last night I saw K. Todd Freeman (Mr.Trick) playing a librarian on Elementary. I didn't recognize him (who knew people could change over 15 years), but I knew the voice.

Liser78 December 9, 2014 Share December 9, 2014 It always amazes me how many people I recognize outside of the Buffyverse. Just off the top of my head: Buffy's roommate Kathy keeps popping up in commercials lately, like cleaning products and what not. Parker (the Poophead) is on State of Affairs with Katherine Heigl and I have noticed the actor in a few things but can't really recall what (yeah, I tend to immediately dislike whatever roles he plays--I wonder why lol). Kal Penn is one of the guys drinking with Buffy in Beer Bad (is this before Harold and Kumar?). Amy Adams is Tara's cousin in the episode where her dad comes to retrieve her (she's also a meteor freak of the week early on in Smallville BTW). Felicia Day (she's awesome) is one of the potentials that gets killed early on. Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) is one of the guys on the swim team in "Go Fish". Riley's wife is the slutty neighbor to Reese Witherspoons character in Just Like Heaven. 1 Link to comment

Cobalt Stargazer January 2, 2015 Share January 2, 2015 I want to preface this by saying that while I never hated Dawn, I was always more or less indifferent to Michelle Trachtenberg as an actress, mainly because of the writing. But she's surprisingly effective as a stealth psycho in Zugzwang, the episode of Criminal Minds that's airing on ION right now. Link to comment
ByTor January 7, 2015 Share January 7, 2015 I actually kind of liked Dawn, but IMO MT did a horrible job on Six Feet Under. She was supposed to be a diva-ish singer, but IMO played it more like a whiny brat (much like Dawn haha). Link to comment

Liser78 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 my bad! season 7 doesn't get a lot of rewatches. I, for some reason thought she went down after buffy got wounded in the final fight but it was the girl with the freckles and brown hair. oops Link to comment

Halting Hex July 12, 2018 Share July 12, 2018 As we just had a discussion of what Joey "Clayne" Crawford has gotten up to since his portrayal of Rodney Munson in Inca Mummy Girl, I note that Gil Birmingham, who was the Incan guard in that episode, has an apparently meaty role in Yellowstone, presumably as a Native American. (I'm only up to the opening credits of the pilot, but he's more prominently billed than he was in IMG, that's for sure.) Link to comment

I think with that and Eurotrip she deliberately was saying 'Look I can play things other than adorable moppets'.

Already recommissioned for season 2, he has had a pretty amazingly successful TV career BUT he never broke into movies as SMG/AH did.

My mistake, actually 4! 11 hours ago, nosleepforme said: Sarah and Aly broke into movies around the height of Buffy's popularity, but let's be honest, did they have that many big movie roles post-Buffy? Sarah had The Grudge, Aly had American Wedding, that's it. Everything else was smaller projects that barely had an impact on pop culture. Neither of them became a bankable movie star and now they've pretty much disappeared into oblivion. If you ask people in their teens and early twenties who Sarah Michelle Gellar is, I'm sure many don't even know her. David's been a presence on tv screens for 20 consecutive years, I think, in the end, he is the most successful one of them all. SMG's post Buffy movies grossed half a billion dollars, Grudge 1&2, Scream 2, Scooby Doo 1&2, Cruel Intentions, unfortunately Southland Tales seems to have stalled her career even though she was the best thing in it.

The Grudge/Scooby Doo are hardly movies that people still talk about. True and true, that's the baffling thing! Link to comment

Halting Hex July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Aging a little around the eyes, but still hanging in there at 47. (Alyson [44] looks amazing on Penn & Teller: F.U., she could pass for Willow in grad school.) I was a bit depressed to see Jill Hennessy (who'd stayed looking mighty fine for a number of years all over TV) suddenly start looking her age (48) on Yellowstone, but CC's still bathing in virgin blood or whatever she needs to do, I see. ;) Why, yes, I am that shallow. So it goes. 1 Link to comment

Generally, all the women on Buffy still look really good, I think, Eliza (of course, being the youngest), SMG, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, Kristine Sutherland. So much for our sexist society that writes women off the minute they reach a certain age. It's the men that haven't actually aged that well. Nick Brendon looks rough (due to his alcoholism I assume), James is showing his age, same as Anthony Head and Alexis Denisof. David and Seth hang in there. True, the ET photo shoot showed how gorgeous everyone still is but not so much a problem for the guys, that's Hollywood/human nature. Link to comment

Joe Hellandback January 1, 2019 Share January 1, 2019 Okay, let's see what everyone was doing this year? SMG; Quiet year, voice work on Robot Chicken and seems to be concentrating on her family and business at the moment. ASH; busy year, staring in 2 series, The Split and Girlfriends and the drama Vanity Fair. AH; busy year, appearing in 2 tv series 'Fancy Nancy' and 'Pure' and couple of TV movies as well as also guesting on Robot Chicken NB; 3 movies and a couple of eps of Dark Web, seems to have sorted himself out recently. CC; 3 movies, (I often think that satellite movie channels are like panto, providing work for all actors at some time) MT; Robot Chicken and cartoon Human Kind Of but all voice work. JM; A couple of movies and seeing great success with Marvel's Runaways DB; seems to have the magic touch, headlining a third successful series with SEAL team. ED; nothing but she probably had a busy year getting married and suing people. MB; busy, 4 movies and 2 recurring roles in TV series. SG; loads of voice work and a couple of movies plus Robot Chicken, when does he sleep? Link to comment

Halting Hex January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 Have they announced that already? Seems a bit early. I never could get into it (I watched one episode with NB, and that's all) just because I couldn't suspend disbelief that there were that many serial killers out there to investigate. Now I guess the ex-Buffy stars will have to be stranded in the Bermuda Triangle for NCIS to go rescue them or something. (Another long-running CBS series where I just don't buy the premise, David McCallum or no David McCallum. But JMO.) Link to comment

Melancholy January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 (edited) Alyson Hannigan and her daughter Saty competed on Master Chef Junior. Alexis Denisof and their other daughter were in attendance.

Amy was in the 3rd episode ever, and Amber Benson was on in the 2nd season, playing a (relatively gentle) vampire. Sorry I missed CC; I faded away after Season 5, where we spent all year waiting for The Apocalypse That Wasn't (I loved the S4 finale and then the next season I was like "well? Get ON with it!" all year long) and ended with creator Eric Kripke leaving the series. (Kripke has most recently done Timeless with Shawn Ryan, who was returning to his Angel sci-fantasy roots after getting all gritty with The Shield.) Rather amazed that Jared & Jensen & company have soldiered on for (at least) another nine seasons after losing Kripke and seemingly exhausting the premise; I guess I'll have a job of work to do if/when I ever try to catch up. But it's very cool that there's still a piece of The WB banging on. Can't imagine what Aly and her daughter together will be like; I think I'll have to feed the cat before watching, just in case I faint from an overdose of the cute. Thanks for the link, Melancholy! ETA: Oops, that's a link to the "showdown" portion, which is after Aly/Saty have done the majority of their appearance. (Although they're still cute watching Lil Rel and Brittni getting judged.) This is the start of Aly/Saty v Rel/Brittni segment. Enjoy. ETAA: Goodness, what is up with Gordon Ramsay's hair? It rather resembles a surfboard, and must have taken nearly an equivalent amount of wax to get it that way. I just got through watching Trump speak to the Clemson Tigers at the White House (remember, I'm in South Carolina now; this was news…) and I'm honestly not sure which was more of a hair-don't. Should we blame Gordon's coif on Hellmouth activity? Also a bit annoyed at Gordon introducing Aly as "an outstanding comedic" actress. Not that she isn't and not that HIMYM didn't run nine seasons to BtVS's seven, but still. But it makes sense that, as a chef, Ramsay would give Aly's primary credit as the American Pie movies…although I can't imagine he'd approve of the fate of that particular pie…at least, I'd hope not… Edited January 15, 2019 by Halting Hex 1 Link to comment
