I didn't realize he/she was in that

Before she became typecast as the uptight married woman, Leslie Mann was in "George of the Jungle."

About the previous note: It was Vinessa Shaw and not Katherine Heigl who played Jonathan Brandis' (RIP) love interest/teammate in "Ladybugs."

 

Caught an episode of Veronica Mars last week and playing a college football player who had his playbook stolen was Armie Hammer, who played the Winkelvi on The Social Network

 

I'm Netflixing "Cheers."

As a little league manager, Ernie Pantuso had a young Corey Feldman on his team.

 

I can't believe D-Day from Animal House plays a detective on Rizzoli and Isles.

 

He also played the Sheriff in My Cousin Vinnie, the judge in Runaway Jury, and Ralph Houk in *61.

 

"David Wallace" form "The Office" was a congressman from Oregon in Season No. 1 of "The West Wing."

 

Don't even try that.

 

Chris Bauer, who played Frank Sobotka on The Wire and the sheriff on True Blood, was Bob Cerv in *61.

 

Great Sporcle quiz to go with this thread: Recognize the actors from their first role:

Of course, you get a free one thanks to MisterCresote's post above.

 

Thomas Jane from the HBO series "Hung" and the movie "The Mist" was Mickey Mantle.

 

That was pretty cool. I could recognize the actors but didn't know which movies except Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, Elijah Wood and Robert Duvall.

 

I think I wrote you or Zeke when I saw that episode. I had a totally illicit crush on Labeouf during the "Even Stevens" days.
