It’s been a long time…
Thursday, January 24th, 2013 by Dawn SummersWhenever I start watching a new show, I like to play a game.
“Where have I seen that actor before”?
I used to be really good at this. In the last ten years, my skills, thanks to imdb, have fallen off considerably, but I still try.
Anyway, so there I am watching “The Following,” and the one surviving victim looked really familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. When I imdb’d it, turns out, she was Maggie Grace! BALLS! I totes should have gotten that one!
So, I decided to be really strict with myself, like can’t look it up for a day. The black guy detective I recognize, but he’s one of those actors I ALWAYS confuse with another actor. Tell me these two men are different. I DARE YOU. I know, I know #races.
Anyway, once I got it down to “the guy from Dexter/True Blood” I count it as gotten.
THEN the white FBI detective looked really familiar, so I worked on figuring that one out. BOOM. GOT IT.
Jimmy Olsen from Smallville, Aaron Ashmore! I go to check and imdb says I’M WRONG! WWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTT?????
Annoyed, AND POSITIVE THAT IMDB IS WRONG, cause DUDE, I AM POSITIVE, I go to the following characters list and look for the guy’s name. Still nothing. I sigh and give up.
When I went to check that I got the stupid ex-wife from Justified right, I notice the name Shawn Ashmore! Heeeeyyy, what’s going on here?! Did that negro change his name?
I check and NOPE. TWINS! THEY’RE FREAKING TWINS. EVEN WORSE? THEY’RE FREAKING CANADIAN TWINS!
NEWMAN!
Also, that totally counts as me being right!
