Is there an actor shortage in Hollywood?

I had similar thoughts when about half of Battlestar Galactica showed up in S1 of Dollhouse.

Because it seems like the same 10 people are popping up on every show and it’s really disorienting.

Last night the principal from Glee was playing the Indian kid’s dad on Community (at least they didn’t use Ranjit from How I Met Your Mother, I guess.)  Also on Community is Pete Campbell’s wife from Mad Men, except she looks about 15 years younger.  Speaking of Mad Men, Roger Sterling’s child-bride is on that show Flash Forward playing a teenager, I think.  Flash Forward also stars D.A. Carver from Law & Order, Penny from Lost, and, at some point, Charlie from Lost.

I’m sure there are more examples of this but seriously, what’s the deal?

About

Hi, I'm Kate. While completing my graduate degree in archival studies, I felt an urge to collect my personal online fonds for the curious. In essence, everything I post here is imbued with meaning for me. You are what you consume; what is past is prologue, etc.

I have a long and varied internet past, but I find this humble little Tumblr is the best home for me right now. I like sharing good things with good people.
