Holy crap! That was...

Also played Rowena Morgan in Mr. Holland's Opus, the young student who tried to steal him away from his wife in the movie.

 

She is also the teenager in Uncle Buck.

 

(Slaps forehead.)
That's where I knew her from! Uncle Buck! Was just about to head over to imdb.

"You're not a gnat are you, Bug? Wait a minute, bug... gnat. Is there a little similarity? Whoa! I think there iiiiiiiiiiis!"

 

Michelle Van Der Water is in every other commercial on TV this year.

 

Just realized that Janitor from Scrubs is one of the pitchers on the Cubs in Rookie of the Year.

 

Mentioned this on the Mad Men thread, but the old woman that was hired to be Don's new secretary on this week's episode was played by Randee Heller, who played Ralph Macchio's mom in "The Karate Kid."

 

He's now in "The Middle," the ABC series with Patricia Heaton.

 

Here's kind of an obscure one: Charlie's mom in "Always Sunny" = Miss Yvonne from "Pee-Wee's Playhouse"

 

Just noticed that one of the vikings in the Capitol One commercials is Ogre from "Revenge of the Nerds."



... and how about this little idbit from imdb: "He lives in Chicago, Illinois and is the co-owner of and spokesman for the Chicago brewery Trader Todd's." Anyone ever had it? Any good?

 

In the ad where they're in Hawaii, the one dancing in the grass skirt is Richardson (the cook at the hotel) from "Deadwood"

 

Jean Louisa Kelly is on a roll (Or is it role in this case). She had a part in the latest "Burn Notice" episode this week.

 

I raised this thread from the dead because of two I've seen this week:

At the gym today I saw the Friends rerun of Ross' wedding in England. The man sitting next to, and being bothered by, Rachel on the plane as she was flying to the wedding was Dr. House himself, a much cleaner-cut Hugh Laurie.

Monday night watching Hawaii Five-0, and I kept looking at the kidnapped vacationing boyfriend who turned out to be a former henchman of the main villain (played by Balthazar Getty, BTW) and knowing I've seen him somewhere before, but I didn't know where. After the episode was over, I turned back to the opening scene to see the guest stars listed and I saw his name.

For those of you who are big fans of "Miracle" like me, it was Kenneth Mitchell. He played Ralph Cox, the last cut from the team, in the movie.
