Character Actors Want You To Know That They Have Names, And It’s Not “The Guy From That Thing”

Would you settle for a "Where do I know you from?"

Recommended Videos

I will not lie to you, readers: I was feeling real pompous about this video from Entertainment Weekly concerning the plight of the average character actor (mostly white and all male, of course, because Hollywood) for a second there, because who in nerddom doesn’t know Anthony Stewart Head or Doug Jones? But then they brought out Donal Logue and my brain went, “Oh… he was… on SVU just now and then… that sitcom… Gotham trailer?” And I had to look him up. So you got me, video. You got me. Mission accomplished.
