Chris in his guest spot from S2 of Charmed, "Animal Pragmatism"

As a snake given human form by silly college girls dabbling in magic, one of the first things Chris has to learn is to not let his, er, snake hang loose.  Making for an entertaining episode for some viewers…and reminding Christopher that his WB contract to be a piece of meat was meant rather literally.

(He does become suitably menacing as the episode goes along, thus justifying the Halliwells' intervention. Not that Phoebe [Alyssa Milano] might ever need much justification to check out the Big Snake on Campus, but even so.)

Rowr!  You cleaned up nicely, Billy Fordham!  (Maybe he just needed time to grow into those ears?)

Too often overshadowed by tomorrow's honoree (and I don't mean Ellie Goulding, Sandy Koufax, or LeBron James), but deserves a salute of his own.

(Remember, when Jason went on to star in the original Roswell, he was joined in the cast by Brendan Fehr.  Which, as far as surnames go, would seem an unlikely pehr.)

Speaking of Friday's birthday boy, for whomever has lost (or never had) interest in tonight's Super Bowl, ABC is counter-programming with reruns of Celebrity Jeopardy!  from January, including an episode featuring Seth at 8PM ET/7 PM CT.

(Not to bag hugely, but I'm always surprised Seth is such a celebrity.  I know Family Guy has been on forever, but that's animated.  Are voice actors really big news?  I don't see Dan Castellanata [Homer Simpson, The Simpsons] getting this treatment.

Robot Chicken has its niche audience, but I still don't actually know what it is.  I think that's animated, too.

Seth's been in a number of films, but what's his star-making hit?  Idle Hands?  Old Dogs?  Without a Paddle?  Knockaround Boys?  When the Scooby-Doo sequel [I can't even recall the title off-hand] is your big hit, that's not a great catalog, IMO.

And of course this series…which has been off the air for 21.5 years and where Seth was in a whopping 39 episodes, barely 25% of the series.

I wish Seth all the best, but somebody is looking out for him, IMO.)

WHAT?????????????????????????????

Noooooooooooo!!!!!   😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How? What? How?

Sarah must be devastated.  First Shannen, now this.

(Okay, Shannen was 8 months ago.  But still.)


Off to read the news.  Only 39.  JFC.

ETA:  Drugs, I guess.  Damn it, it's too soon for this sort of shit.

(And everybody who had Nick in the Death Pool can suck it.)

I mean, too bad about Angelo Spizzirri or whomever, but this is way too soon to be losing main cast!

I think what celebrity Seth Green has is largely thanks to Buffy, but also to the three Austin Powers movies in which he co-starred. "Scott Evil" was a pretty memorable role. He has stayed active in the business as a writer, producer, and voice actor, and still does occasional live-action work. 

Moreover, he has been at this since childhood. He was in The Hotel New Hampshire starring Jodie Foster, Rob Lowe, and Beau Bridges at age 10 (or slightly younger — it came out the year he turned 10), and followed up soon enough after with Radio Days and My Stepmother is an Alien. He was also in the original adaptation of Stephen King's It, which was "just" a TV miniseries, but it was a widely watched and memorable one. Gen X and Millennials grew up with Seth. 

Also though, Celebrity Jeopardy is not some crown jewel in the American TV landscape. They didn't turn down Denzel Washington, or Leonardo DiCaprio, to get Seth Green. They get "celebrities" who are either famous for being smart (Neil deGrasse Tyson), or those who are confident enough (either in their intellects, or just in general) to play a somewhat dumbed-down version of Jeopardy, for a charity which matters to them. 

Look at the contestant list for the latest iteration of the game show. Seth is far from the most "WHO?" name on there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Jeopardy!_(American_game_show)
