Stars In Other Roles: Doppelgangers!

I’ve been doing my patriotic duty and watching Suits on Netflix (apparently  it’s a national requirement), and was gut punched to see Billy Miller pop up on several episodes. He plays the brother to lead character Harvey. His character struggles with several personal issues, and knowing what I know, it just makes me sad.

On a lighter note, I have also been rewatching The Mindy Project, and was pleasantly surprised to see that Amanda Setton (Brooke Lynn) was a featured player on the first season! Of course, she didn’t last long, because that show made a habit of overhauling their cast every season for the first few years.

Someone elsewhere mentioned this Xmas movie from 2017. (Not planning on watching it)

I had to laugh at seeing both Ingo and Haley as two of the people who were in it considering how they both ended up finding themselves off of GH due to personal behavior.
 

 

It actually wasn’t bad. I mean it wasn’t good but it wasn’t awful. Just really cheesy Lol!

Chloe Lanier had a decent supporting role on Law & Order last night.

Yes, I thought she was really good, though I admit I had to check the cast list to see who she was. I knew she was familiar, but... I'm getting old.

She's really a good actress. I recall posting how good she was in original recipe NCIS 10 years ago! I think she played a homeless person.

Not sure if this counts as a role, but I just saw an Opzelura commercial with Kristen Vaganos (current Molly).

She's also a cast member in a YouTube comedy channel called Content Machine. 

She vaguely reminds me of Shiri Appleby from Roswell, so I can't help but like her a bit.

Just caught Kristen Vaganos again, this time in a Grammarly ad.  I wasn’t really paying attention, but don’t think either of the actresses in it spoke.  I finally checked her IMDB - almost 70 credits!

Girl is a hustler, and I gotta admire it. Well, unless she decides to join Steve Burton's energy drink pyramid scheme. LOL

It took me a while, but I am watching the Monsters show on Netflix now. I'm not far enough in to say whether I think it's a great series, but I'm impressed with Nicholas Alexander Chavez. Even if this hadn't been such a ratings smash, far more people would have discovered him from this than GH, and it was a lucky role for a breakout. He had had three years of practice at playing an entitled young rich guy who looks down on those he thinks of as inferior to him. Lyle is a more violent, foul-mouthed, and troubled version of that type. NAC also blends in with the good actors around him, and there are some Oscar nominees or winners in this cast, so it's a step up from most of the people he usually had scenes with on GH: Eden McCoy, Evan Hofer, Tabyana Ali, Adam Huss, etc.

For those missing Felix (Marc Anthony Samuel), he's putting his Nurses Ball male stripper skills to work in the new PG Netflix holiday romcom The Merry Gentlemen, taking it off alongside the lovely Chad Michael Murray, muscleboy Cole Prattes, the athletic Hector David Jr. and perennial charmer Maxwell Caulfield as the elder statesman of the troupe. Also stars an incredibly adorable dog, Britt Robertson as the heroine, Maria Sokoloff (who also co-wrote the film) as her sister, and Beth Broderick and Michael Gross as their parents who run the cash-strapped small town venue that can only be saved via a shirtless male dance revue. It ain't Shakespeare, but it was a fun watch!

Megan Ward was on last night’s NCIS and she still looks amazing! She played (not surprisingly) a socialite lol! Just reminded me how much I miss her. 

This must have been her second appearance because she played a Marine wife who was framed for attempted murder of an attempted rapist in the show’s second season.

Carolyn Hennesy (Diane) shows up in Friday's Hallmark romcom Deck The Walls, playing the benevolent, supportive Aunt Gigi to lead sister and brother Rose and Sal. Good script, fun performances and believable sibling, straight couple and gay male couple connections - one of Hallmark's better efforts, IMHO.

This isn't really a GH star in another role, and I may well be the last person to learn this, but----I randomly thought of a TV series I used to watch a few decades ago, Road to Avonlea.  It took place in the Anne of Green Gables universe, and one of the leads was a young woman named Felicity.  Google tells me she was played by Gema Zamprogna, sister of Dominic.

I loved Road to Avonlea so much. And what a small world.
