Actor Recognition
Jul. 12th, 2008 09:33 pmI've discovered a minor problem with being TV-literate:
If you're watching a show (like NCIS, for example) and Jonathan Woodward (for instance) appears on screen for a few seconds, you instantly know that he will
a) appear again
b) be pivotal to the plot
and
c) be a seemingly nice and charming guy who's actually a bit more sinister (because it's Jonathan Woodward, after all - and he always plays characters like that)
It can really ruin the surprise.
