Random celebrities you've looked up on Wikipedia for no reason whatsoever other than fleeting curiosity

Jakki Brambles.

The guy who plays Art the clown.

Dudley Moore, am in my 40s so know who he is but just wondered about him, very sad reading

David Essex, a few hours ago.

usually ones where i recognise that they were in another show but cannot think of or remember what show etc

That guy from Diggit. Presented alongside Fearne Cotton.

Shit went dark.

Endless. Every time I start a new series I think "where have I seen them", pause and google it.

Just started one on AppleTV and had to stop to confirm I'd seen an actress in Ugly Betty years ago.

this very second moved over from googling Peter Gabriel, how weird …

I do this all the time. Was flicking through the radio stations in the car last night and fell upon an interview with a young singer. Interesting conversation so I looked her up today (Izzie Yardley on BBCcKent).

I've recently started watching Taskmaster. I googled little Alex Horn to see how tall he is, and how tall compared to Greg.

Damien Lewis after watching Billions.

he was great in homeland

Looked at Wikipedia pages of Stevie Nicks and Candice Bergen today

Yep, all the time. Just now I looked up Windsor Davies. A couple of hours ago I wanted to know how tall Mark Strong is, as he makes all the women look like midgets by comparison (188cm, 6'2"; the actresses must be quite small).

I also asked Alexa to convert 188cm to imperial. Technology's making me somewhat better informed but much lazier!

Basic, but:

Yasemin Allen
Caitriona Balfe
Michelle Hurd
Krystyna Janda
Cherry Jones
Maria Doyle Kennedy
Laura Linney
Keri Russell
Jeri Ryan

Not everyone I've listed fits, but I think I might have a thing for checking out over-50-and-brilliant women actors.

I tried to find out who Eminem’s other two children are (besides Haley) but no joy

Alastair Sims today to confirm whether he had played a female teacher in a girls’ school - and he had in the St Trinians films. Required after DP had been putting on an accent to talk to the cats and it sounded like the voice of a man impersonating a female teacher in a girls’ school.

Angelica Garnett
Carolyn Jessop
Scott Wolf

Constantly. Just about every time I watch anything on tv

Des? I searched him at the start of the year and yes. Certainly did go dark! I was surprised!

Poor Fearne Cotton, she’s been linked to some serious wronguns.

Yep, that's the fella. Things seem to have gone south very early on too. Wonder if it was nature or nurture or if something happened (not to excuse his behaviour if so because many people go through various horrible things and don't engage in such vile behaviour).

Maybe it's a mix of her career's longevity and an indication of the prevalence of predatory men?

Just googled 'is Gary Wilmot dead?'

I've just googled 2 entire families
The Osmonds
The Nolans

@feliciabirthgiver he was on The Chase the other day!
