When I watched Titanic in 1997 I had no idea that Bill Paxton, who played treasure hunter Brock Lovett also played the obnoxious, bullying older brother Chet in the 1985 sci-fi comedy Weird Science, only realizing this some time later.
Another example is American actress Julie Hegarty. I had seen Flying High (and the sequel), What About Bob?, Everybody Loves Raymond, Freddy Got Fingered, Just Friends and She's The Man, but had no idea that the same actress portrayed flight attendant Elaine (Flying High); Dr. Leo Marvin's wife (What About Bob?); a nervous, highly-strung advertising executive who fired Debra Barone in one day in an episode of ELR; the long-suffering wife/mother who has to deal with the antics of her eldest son and the anger it causes his father in Freddy Got Fingered; the lead character's mother in Just Friends; and the 'girly-girl' mother of Amanda Bynes' tomboy character in She's The Man.
On the subject of Everybody Loves Raymond, I had watched the first Beethoven movie in the early 1990s, but did not realize until I looked it up on IMDB that an obnoxious yuppie couple the family had to entertain were played by future 1990s stars Patricia Heaton (Debra Barone - ELR) and David Duchovney (Agent Mulder - X Files).
It was a similar experience with Michael Richards; I had no idea that the Bow-Tie Serial Killer in the 1990 comedy Problem Child was Kramer from Seinfeld.
Which movies & TV shows have you seen that contained the same actor, but you did not notice at the time?
