Irksome Actors

[albaqwerty]

and or actresses.

The ones whose face pops up on screen and you think, oh blast, what was he/she in? and you just can't remember?

[emmie]

mostly those in soaps, who switch from one to another.

[bookbinder]

...quite. And then you spend so much time arguing about 'was he in that, was he in this' that you lose the plot of what you're supposed to watching.

[bookbinder]

...or: supposed to be watching!

[albaqwerty]

ooh, forgot about soaps, the only one I watch these days is Doctors and I'm rapidly becoming bored with that.

[albaqwerty]

There's one in Remember Me, film on C5 at the moment, I'm sure he was in a US fantasy type series, which was probably short lived.

Lol Alba, I seem to spend half the programme time looking on IMDB to find out what somebody's been in.

[mccfluff]

i have imdb on my phone, i'm using it constantly!

[emmie]

the soap stars equivalent of musical chairs.. i can't think who that awful wooden actor is in Corrie, the one time partner of stella, think he was in some cop series?

[Iluvspikey]

That's what IMDb is for:

Just put the name of the actor in there, and it will reveal all that the actor has done film,, TV etc.

[emmie]

probably robert pattinson, he was in the twilight series i think...

Forget actors.... I only know some of the old ones by names. But then I don't watch much TV or movies. I Waste more time on the computer. :)

[horseshoes]

Carl from Corrie was in Taggart.

[albaqwerty]

Found him, Michael T Weiss, was Jarod in The Pretender.
Now I need to rack my brains about that series too.

Society, I think I might just do what you do, ignore the tv :-D

[emmie]

that's him, wooden as a trojan horse.

[albaqwerty]

agree with that Em x

A lot of actors from 'The Bill' are popping up in 'Doctors' lately. I agree Doctors has gone down hill quite a lot. I miss zara. I thought she had only taken maternity leave and might come back. Even though the story lines have become rather naff I still carry on watching. Don't ask me why, it's crazy I know! I'm wondering who the new vicar is going to be and if mrs. Tembe will approve.
