My wife has been watching OG Miami Vice and pretty much every episode I've seen there has been a "WTF that was that actor/actress" moment. A few I remember off the top of my head. And honestly these are just the tip of the iceberg.

Going to need those TPS reports.

Wasn't he also cast to be the drill sargent in Full Metal Jacket before R Lee Ermy took his job, relegating him to the smaller roll?

Speaking of The Patriot...

The servant of General Lord Cornwallis who delivers his dinner jacket is played by Dexter Fletcher.



The same Dexter Fletcher who played Sergeant John Martin a year later in the HBO miniseries, Band of Brothers:

Not the same person but I recently realized John Hammond and David Attenborough are brothers. How I never knew that after seeing JP and planet earth a million times is shocking.

It was the Law & Order of its time as a first big break series.

So I was Saturday years old when I realized that Dr. Martin Best from Fox's Best Medicine:



Is Brian, the Clown Dog kid from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead:



He was also in Dead Poet's Society and a bunch of other stuff, but the lightbulb came on when we had the movie on in the background.

I think he was also in the CBS show The Good Wife.

One that shocked me the other day is that Jesse Lee Soffer was Bobby Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie

and Jay Halstead in Chicago PD.

This has probably already been done, but I just rewatched A Knight's Tale for the first time in forever. The blacksmith Kate was lowkey hot, so I looked up what else she's been in. Turns out she was Lydia in Breaking Bad, whom many on this forum agreed was lowkey hot.
