HEY! THAT'S THE GUY FROM... UH...
Lynn of Reflections in D Minor was
having a problem:
"Who is that guy?"
"I don't know. He does look very familiar."
"Wasn't he on an episode of Star Trek?"
"Yeah! That's it! He played... oh... you know. That guy on that episode. You know."
"I don't remember exactly but gosh he looks familiar."
"Yeah, I know he was on Star Trek but I can't remember anything about the character or which episode he was on."
Tragic, but all too common.
However, the solution is just a click away:
The Internet Movie Database
Here you will find every crappy, obscure actor as well as the more famous ones, along with a complete listing of all their roles, in movies & TV, including every embarrassing little bit part they ever played.
Arguably the best invention since Google.

The IMDb actually predates Google. It has its roots in Usenet of old (circa 1990) and was a website before most people had even heard of the web. It was one of the first "must visit" sites on the Web. Check out its history
here.

In my defense, I can only say that I found IMDB
after I discovered Google :-)

Yeah, IMDB is great, isn't it? I only recently started using it so I had no idea they had TV stuff too.

Oh my God, sometimes I have trouble sitting through a movie or TV show because I feel the burning NEED to check out someone/thing on IMDB. My husband can spot the signs. After asking "what did we see that guy in before?" I start to fidgit and twitch. Then he says, "You wanna go look it up, don't you?" he knows me so well. Being a fountain of useless trivia, when I DON'T know the answer readily, I actually lose sleep at night... I can't believe that you've just discovered IMDB - it's the best.

Yeah, discovering IMDB for the first time is one of those "It comes in pints?" moments :-)

Well, by "recently" I mean this year. I had heard of it a while before I started using it a lot. Now almost every time we rent a movie the first thing I do when it's over is look it up at IMDB.
