I'm watching Veep for the first time and I really dig it. I'm on season 5 now so please no spoilers about the end. Anyways...after Seinfeld I never in my wildest dreams could've imagined picturing JLD as anything other than Elaine Benes. Our sweet little Lainey. Well that has been mentally overwritten big time now with Veep. Now I absolutely can't picture her as anything else other than the extremely conniving and foul mouthed selina meyer.

Anyone else have a total change up in the "I always picture that actor as [so and so]" department?

I would think Bryan Cranston going from Malcolm in the Middle tv dad to Breaking Bad is one.

John C Reilly in 90s movies such as The River Wild, The Perfect Storm, Days of Thunder to 2000s movies such as Talladega Nights, Dewey Cox, and Step Brothers.

One of my favorite shows ever. So damn funny.

Furlong and Jonah are my favorite characters. Also Ben has some hilarious lines as does Jonah’s uncle

Before all that she was in Christmas Vacation. That is how I remember her first.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
She was in a little known Family Ties semi-spin-off, Day by Day in 1988. She was by far the standout in the cast.

Day by Day's other claim to fame was their Brady Bunch episode, where cast member Christopher Daniel Barnes imagines himself as the 7th Brady child, with most of the cast appearing in his dream sequence. Not sure if this is what sparked Sherwood Schwartz to get a Brady Bunch movie going, but Christopher Daniel Barnes was cast as Greg Brady for the film.

That’s a good one. He went from art house indie actor to slapstick comedy.

Not sure about ever, but yes, it's one of the classics.

We still love to watch clips of the interactions between JLD's character and the Finland Prime Minister. Every one of them is absolute gold.

HBO Max. It's a little slow going from the start so if you do start stick with it. It definitely gets better as it goes on
