Im rewatching Hex. I haven’t seen it in years but it’s a favourite of mine. I’ve been binge watching Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies lately, so I was shocked to see Joseph Morgan (Klaus Mikaelson) in Hex! I actually had no idea!

Not really the same thing but I was really surprised to realise the Captain in Titanic was also Shirley Valentine's husband!

Also Anne Gallagher's Mum (the girl who was kidnapped) in Happy Valley is the same actress who played Pauline Harris "just shut it, Rodney" Del Boy's nightmare fiancée in Only Fools and Horses.

And Théoden in LOTR. DH found this hilarious and used to say ‘I like chips and egg — on a TUESDAY, Gandalf Stormcrow!’ when Théoden was leading troops into battle.

I kind of impressed myself recently by recognising an actor who had a small part in the final series of Cobra Kai (Gunther, the host of the international karate tournament) as someone I had last seen in tv ads for Statoil in Ireland the early 1990s.
