But when different shows all use the same actor for guest spots, man it can get confusing. Say, for example, this summer (when I meant to blog about it) when Max Martini<\/strong><\/a>, who I do really enjoy<\/a>, was on Dark Blue<\/strong>, Lie to Me<\/strong>, AND White Collar<\/strong>…ALL WITHIN A WEEK’S TIME. I kept getting confused as to whether he was good or bad!! At the time, I had chalked this up to “it’s hard to find guests in the summer” until the fall season started and this phenomenon started hitting me over the head every week.<\/p>\n

Michael Gaston was a recurring (but not ‘regular’) assassin on Rubicon<\/strong> on Sundays…and then OH HAI a recurring lawyer on Terriers<\/strong> the following Tuesday. Jennifer Morrison played a total nutbar on Chase<\/strong> one week…and a sorta nutbar on How I Met Your Mother<\/strong> the following week.<\/p>\n

Given that they are mostly guest spots, and that the actor involved probably would not know when they were airing, and shows probably don’t ask a guest “hey, have you done eps for any other shows lately?” I guess I can see how it could happen. But then a series regular on one show (Bobby on Supernatural) shows up as a guest spot on another show (The Mentalist)? (And, I don’t watch it, but his IMDB page lists him as popping up on Law & Order: LA as well!!) It’s crazymaking for a serious TV addict like me.<\/p>\n

I could carry on with this list but I know you’re already bored. I just think there are more actors out there who could probably use a paycheck. Am I right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
