Stars In Other Roles: Doppelgangers!

[tvgoddess]

Oh, goodie! Glad you get to watch it. I'm at the series finale and I'm kind of sad.

[peachmangosteen]

I don't know when I'll get to it lol. I finally finished 13 Reasons Why and now I'm making my way through Sense8 season 2. Then I need to finish season 2 of Grace and Frankie and then start season 2 of Master of None. Netflix needs to slow down!

Yikes Alexis! Molly is the lead in a new movie on Lifetime called "From Straight A's To XXX" about a college student who becomes a porn star under a pseudonym to pay for school and becomes a victim of cyberbullying.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6237208/

ETA: I mean Haley Pullos, not Molly :)

You're late. It already premiered awhile back. She wasn't good in it either.

I wish I never stumbled on it, late or not, but it was a time-eater while I waited for 12 Monkeys to start. 

Holy moly that was horrible! I expected HP to be better, it was cringe-worthy watching her do the porn stuff. The more I watched the worse it got, although I have a feeling NLG put her female-empowerment-stamp of approval all over it.

Felix is in a Slim Jim commercial playing a real estate agent.  He's not annoying.  

[SlovakPrincess]

Fun fact:  Anna Lee (Lila) had a fairly sizable role in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?  I recently watched this out of curiosity after binge-watching Feud.

A bit of Sebastian Roche on Loving.

[Oracle42]

Loving!

Why didn't Guza just make SR a third Jax brother? Just make him the oldest brother and a disinherited black sheep.

I didn't actually ever see the resemblance to Ingo while he was on GH but I really do see it here.

Too bad they didn't let him use his natural accent, though it's not distracting. And we also get a peek at a very young Michael Weatherly.

[Pete Martell]

A bit of Susan Brown (Gail Baldwin) on Return to Peyton Place (audio only). Susan has such a distinctive voice. I knew it was her immediately even without looking at the photos or seeing the names.

That just reminds me what a giant mistake it was to kill off AJ.

Annie Ilonzeh(ex Maya Ward) as Kidada Jones in All Eyez on Me

If you ever need a Constance Towers fix she's in a Bic commercial here. You can also find a host of other stars in this video.

[In2You]

Lindsey Morgan in the movie Casa Vita

[amaranta]

While still not a large role, I'm enjoying JMB on Casual.  She has an actual story.  Well, more of a pairing than story.  But in the episodes she's been in this season, she shows up in 3-4 scenes in each..  I like her with Leon; they're cute.

The late Peter Hansen played Perry's opposition in the courtroom in an episode of Perry Mason from its first season I watched last night on DVD. 

[Pete Martell]

Chris Robinson (Rick Webber #2) made a horror movie in 1975 and it was never released. It was then lost for years. It's being put out on DVD now.

GH's Natalia Livingston and Rick Hearst reunite in film Full Count

So I came across this blog that highlights shooting locations for that old 1970s show, The Rockford Files linked from another page I was visiting, and on this page, if you scroll down, you will spy a young Constance Towers playing an IRS agent in the episode "The Big Cheese" from 1979, pictured with James Garner/Jim Rockford. Cool!

She looked good with longer hair, I think!

[dubbel zout]

The "then and now" photos of her are amazeballs. It goes to show that if you have great bone structure, you never age. I hate her! LOL.

[TeeVee329]

How did I not remember that Michelle Stafford and Finola Hughes played friends in "Pacific Palisades"!

[Artsda]

[peachmangosteen]

Nathan Paevey is going to be in another Hallmark movie with Jen Lilley, which I find kinda funny.

[Pete Martell]

Laura Sisk (not the last name she's known by now) in her early days on Loving. As a bonus, you can gawk at computer technology circa 1991.

A few episodes with Genie Francis crossing over from AMC as Caera Connor. There are of course a lot of AMC episodes around from 1990-1992 with her in them as well. She shares a brief scene with Laura Wright in the first one.

[Cupcake04]

So I am watching Legally Blonde.....I didn't know Kimberly McC was one of the sorority sisters! 

[SlovakPrincess]

Holy crap, I think I owned the ugly sweater LW is wearing in the November 5, 1991 clip.  LOL

[dubbel zout]

I'm watching Justified, and Billy Miller turns up in the first episode of season 2 as a child molester. This was 2011, so a while ago, and he's more relaxed and natural than I've ever seen him on GH.

[peachmangosteen]

Yea, I remember that ep. He was so good in it. Hard to believe it's the same guy we're seeing on GH now.

[dubbel zout]

The soaps crushed his soul, it seems.

[peachmangosteen]

I wonder if they also game him the murderous smile?

[Pete Martell]

The Psychic Friends Network infomercial with Steve Burton is back around again. I remember that yum-yum expression on the young woman in the audience so clearly from endless reruns (I also remember that reenactment scene where the woman tells her psychic that saying she has a money struggle is like saying Noah had a little plumbing problem). 

 

Her reading is actually pretty accurate for Jason's future stories, so - good for her. 

It's funny how he's never been off TV in the last 20 years while the lovely Carrington Garland, who pops up in this briefly, is someone I haven't seen on TV in 20 years. Sad. 

Denise Galick (Rhonda Wexler) also pops up briefly with her husband.

I was actually looking forward to seeing what he would do with the role - and what he did was nothing.

Kathleen Gatti (Obrecht) is going to be on Arrow on Thursday in her other role of Raisa the maid/mother substtitue.

I just saw Cynthia Watros on Haven. She looks fantastic as a brunette

Do you mean Cynthia Preston? I don't think Cynthia Watros was ever on GH. (Was she?)

[Oracle42]

You're totally right; it was Cynthia Preston.  It took me forever to recognize 'Faith' and I still got the actress' name wrong.

Hey, no big deal! I was just genuinely confused! (And I knew Cynthia Watros was on the GH competitor in time slot [at some point], Guiding Light, so...  :-)  )

ETA: And how ironic that one of Palmer Cortland's many wives on All My Children, one in particular played by Jane Elliot, had the character name of...Cynthia Preston.

[TeeVee329]

Brianna Brown (Crazy Doctor Lisa Niles) is recurring on the new "Dynasty".  She's the 2017 Claudia Blaisdel.  She's mostly been weepy so far, but I would bet a dollar she sets fire to something before the season's over.

Parker (Ashley Jones) did a guest stint on NCIS.   Did a good job and looked better  and more comfortable than she did on GH.  Way to waste talent - TFGH.

GH’s Kathleen Gati Joins LADIES OF THE LAKE

Quote

Kathleen Gati (Dr. Obrecht, GH) is joining the season 2 cast of LADIES OF THE LAKE, playing Margaret Cranston, the mother of Crystal Amhurst (Jessica Morris). Gati will appear in three of the four episodes in the second season, which begins filming late January. “I watched the first season of LADIES OF THE LAKE and thought it was a fantastic series!” enthused Gati in a statement. “And the last time I worked with Michael Caruso [executive producer/writer], on another fun project of his, WINTERTHORNE, the material was so incredible, I was nominated for an Emmy! I trust Michael and his enormous talent explicitly and can’t wait to be a part of his second season of LADIES OF THE LAKE!” Caruso added, “Margaret Cranston was a character from the original novel I had to remove to streamline the story, but the second season provides the perfect opportunity to bring her into the fold, and I can’t think of a better actress than Kathleen to bring her to life. When I began writing, I knew immediately that I had to have Kathleen’s extraordinary talent involved in the show. Kathleen’s fans can expect lots of fun zingers and a bold look that matches Margaret’s larger than life personality.”

Wally Kurth and Ian Buchana were on the show in season 1. I don't know about  season 2.

Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) was on during the first couple of minutes of NCIS - Los Angeles last week.

Nathan Parsons has been cast in a recurring role on ONCE UPON A TIME.

A wolf is headed to Once Upon a Time.

Nathan Parsons — who played werewolf pack leader Jackson on The Originals — has booked a recurring role on Season 7 of the ABC fantasy drama, EW.com reports.

The actor will make his debut in Episode 8 as Nick, a charismatic slacker-turned-successful lawyer, who might be a potential love interest for one of the regular characters.

I'm glad to see that Parsons is getting work again.  I was getting seriously worried that the whole weird S/I/N/S thing was going to do his career in.

[peachmangosteen]

What is the S/I/N/S thing?
