My wife is like this, it is like a personal IMDB or Amazon x-ray with any show we watch together. I love it and it fascinates me that her brain can make those connections.
I’m glad to hear some people enjoy it. I do it (but I certainly don’t know any of their names - I’m just really really good with voices, so big costume or being animated don’t stop me - and I’ve always assumed it’s probably super annoying.
It just recently hit me out of the blue that Ellen Tigh from BSG is the same actress as one of the vampires in Kindred the Embraced, a show that I only ever saw one episode of.
After watching John Wick 4 it kept bothering me to no end where I knew that German Clan leader from. It kept rattling in my head during the drive home to the point where I considered, stopping somewhere and googling it. I decided to let it go and google it when I’m home. 5 minutes later my mind screams: Tonks! Nymphadora Tonks!

My gf absolutely hates me for this.
“I know that villain! He was in Not Another Teen Movie like 20 years ago for a couple minutes”
Goddamn! Post this in a Seinfeld instance. People are getting thirsty over there!
Are you having pretzels too? Cause these pretzels are making me thirsty!
It must be the pretzels!
That’s all I ever use IMDB for. Especially for voice actors.

I have this but with Lost. I feel like everyone in American tv in the 2000’s was in it at some point
Seriously. I haven’t even seen Lost and I was in a few episodes.
Lost was completely incredible, I remember waiting week after week for new episode, then going in lostforums for hours to read everything!
Or they were in everything else on tv at sone point
Or a weezer album
There were a lot of shows like that around that time. Seinfeld, X-Files, Frasier, Friends, 30 Rock, Tales from the Crypt, et cetera.
I just did this shit to prove to myself that the “shame nun” from GoT was the boss from Ted Lasso.

Neat bit of trivia! TIL
I do this all the tome and brag to my kids about it and they couldn’t care less
Financially? I imagine working on production casting would be a nice application of this skill.
Me learning every german VA and ruining Shows and Movies by discovering the connections
When I watched Fullmetal alchemist it drove me insane that I recognized Roy Mustangs voice but couldn’t quite put my finger on who he was.
It wasn’t until I watched FMA brotherhood that I realized that he is also Batman (Christian Bale)
Next watch Disney’s Pocohantas and try to pick out Christian Bale’s character
