I'm seeing Office everywhere nowadays! I was just watching an older episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and saw Meredith as an extra... the episode was 'Corpse sniffing dog' and she played a police officer...

Someone else mentioned Dwight in 'Six Feet Under' as well..

Post your character coincidentals!

Some of you may already know this, but BJ Novak was on Punk'd during its first or second season. It's funny too because in the pilot episode of The Office, when Michael was getting ready to tell Pam she was fired, he asked Ryan if he liked the show Punk'd.

I saw John Krasinski on a couple old episodes of CSI and Law and Order CI. Both roles were small.

Rainn Wilson was also in that movie Sahara. That was weird to see him in a different role than Dwight.

Rainn Wilson also played an alien in the movie Galaxy Quest. I was watching it on TV one morning and I recognized him right away. Jenna was also on an episode of That 70's Show.

I saw Oscar on an episode of Reno 911! He played a guy that came to help out to teach the cops of Reno how to handle terroristic situations.

Wow, another curb your enthusiasm... Season 5 "Lewis needs a kidney", Mindy Kaling plays Richard Lewis' assistant!

Damn! And another! Did the casting director for the office work on Curb your Enthusiasm or something? Just watched the final episode and Darryl is a Nurse taking Larry David in to have his kidney removed...

Also saw Todd Packer playing Joseph in a Nativity scened in one of the episodes... wow, too much coincidence...

Here is some info on the cast, along with some nice pics. Check it out.

Jenna was also in Six Feet Under. She played Rico's girlfriend in the fifth season.

ok, so I just saw a commercial for reno911. is that oscar? I can't really tell from the short, shadowy shots they have of him. I guess he's some kinda serial killer or something. they had his mouth all muzzled like hannibal.

Oscar Nunez is going to be on Reno 911 this sunday, i believe it is! I am definitely watching that.

i think its cool how the actors do their own side projects besides the office.

I know.. like Brian and Angela on the newest Best Week Ever... HILARIOUS! Love them...Btw, you can see that episode for free on iTunes if anyone is interested

Where?

I've noticed that 'Jim' does the voice-overs for Ask . com
and oscar was in a reno 911. anybody else notice cast memebers in other things? i remember someone on this board said they saw stanley in a video they had to watch at work or for a driving saftey class or something

I think I saw Michael in a movie about virgins or something...

http://www.imdb.com/

Pam/Jenna was a snooty girl on That 70s Show.

Stanley/Leslie was a cop on Malcolm in the Middle.

Jan was in that movie Soul Man with C. Thomas Howell.

She also plays Trudy on Monk from time to time.

Don't forget Steve C as Brick Tamland in Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgandy.

I Love Lamp!

(Todd F Packer was in that one too, as Champ Kind)

Hey do you want to go to a party?

The pants party?

Jim was in Taxi I head, with Queen Latifah/Jimmy Fallon, in a really small role...Jenna in Lollilove (great stuff)...Dwight in Six Feet Under, My Super Ex-Gf...Carrell in Little Miss Sunshine, amongst other movies...Lot's of stuff...

I was going to post this last night too, I saw the That 70's Show with Jenna last night! Her characters name was Stacey Wannamaker, apparently all the guys in high school really did wanna make her... oops did I just type that?

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

I know there are others, but I haven't had my coffee yet, so I'm stopping here.

Melora Hardin (Jan) was in an old episode of FRIENDS. She played Ross's girlfriend - just a one-time guest shot - who wanted Ross to talk dirty to her and he hard a hard time doing that.

As I recall, the name of the thread was originally: "OMG!!!! READREADREADREADREAD!!!!" Thanks for changing it, Officionada -- though I kind of miss the old one!

Yeah, I merged two threads and picked the more descriptive of the two names for the new thread. Can't take credit for the new name entirely.

The actor who plays Stanley was in an episode of That 70's Show as a janitor.

I think the film your referring to is called "Cannonball Run". I don't think Steve is in it, but I could be wrong.

Side note- Dawn Tinsley was in the awful movie "Garfield 2", Tim Canterbury was in the really awful movie "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and Gareth Keenan was in the really really awful movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"

Did anyone see Dwight in Entourage?

oscar was in the italian job

Jenna Fischer is in Lollilove
Leslie (Stanley) had about a line and a half in an episode of "Scrubs"
John Krasinski is in "Duane Hopwood" - which is great if anyone has it seen it.
Also, check out Amy Adams in "Junebug"

Just remembered that she received an Academy nomination for that role.

Wow, doesn't anyone watch "Curb your enthusiasm"? I've seen at least 4 cast members on that show, including a pretty substantial role by Mindy Kaling...

I think you mean 'The Hunt for Red October'...

Billy Kochner(sp?) who plays Packer was in Snakes on a Plane.

I just remembered that both Packer and Roy were in the movie "Out Cold". Roy was gay in that movie btw.

Roy was also in Big Fish. He beat the stank out of Ewan Mcgregor.

pam, kelly, todd packer were all in 40 year old virgin. pam was a dancer in one of the clubs, kelly was the ex-girlfriend of the obsessive guy, and todd packer was at the sex ed. meeting.

steve carell was also in bruce almighty

Yes! The moustache!

Well said

Roy was in The Replacements as the deaf guy

Here's a picture

I think he's the one on the right.



i think

I think he might be the guy on the left...

Dwight was in an episode of Entourage, he plays a writer who gets ****** at Vince in the episode where they all go out to San Diego, quality stuff.

Just rented Kinsey last weekend and John was in it. It was a good movie and John was yummy!

For any Jan/Melora fans, check out Absolute Power with Clint Eastwood. She has some pretty hot stuff with Gene Hackman

Melora (Jan) was in the season finale of Gilmore Girls last season (another show that I am pretty obsessed with)

idk if anyone posted this already, but JK is in Jarhead, very small part, but still its a cool movie



Shes in many episodes too, check www.imdb.com

Stanley (leslie david baker) has been on Arrested Development, my second favorite show. But i was watching a Scrubs marathon today on Comedy Central, and he's in an episode of that.

does anyone know if he's been in any other shows?
