Bell, Kristen
She was awesome on Veronica Mars, really good in pretty much everything else I've seen, including Reefer Madness; and Heroes; and Fanboys; and When In Rome; and Forgetting Sarah Marshall; and Mary Poppins Quits; and The Good Place; and a small role in Safety Not Guaranteed; and a small role in Scream 4. She appeared as herself in The Maya Rudolph Show and It's Your 50th Christmas, Charlie Brown. And she's in Sia's video for Santa's Coming for Us (with her husband, Dax Shepard). And I enjoyed her voice work as Cora in Astro Boy and Anna in Frozen (and in Ralph Breaks the Internet). And she's done lots of commercials (sometimes with Shepard).

DeLisle, Grey See voice actors D-F
Di Maggio, John See voice actors D-F
Fanning, Dakota
I first saw her in Rufus Wainwright's music video for "Across the Universe," in which she didn't speak, but even then, I was struck by how expressive she was, I thought it was amazing how someone so young could act so very well, especially without even saying anything. Later I would find that the video was from the soundtrack to the movie I Am Sam, which I didn't see till some time later. But she really was brilliant in it, at only like 7 years old. But actually, before that I started seeing ads for the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Taken, and I wondered if it was the girl from the music video. Which it was. And she was brilliant in that, too. And she was pretty much the only thing that made The Cat in the Hat remotely watchable. She's often the best thing about any movie she's in, regardless of how good or bad the film is. I liked her in Hide and Seek; and Uptown Girls; and Hounddog; and War of the Worlds; and Dreamer; and Man on Fire; and Push; and The Runaways; and Charlotte's Web; and New Moon; and Please Stand By. Also some voice work.
Fillion, Nathan
I know him from One Life To Live; and Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place (which I don't remember very well); and Dracula 2000; and Firefly and its spin-off movie Serenity; and Castle; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and Drive; and Desperate Housewives; and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog; and Waitress; and Slither; and a couple eps of Community; and several eps of Modern Family; and an ep of Brooklyn Nine-Nine; and a couple eps of American Housewife; and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters; and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. And some voice work.
Follows, Megan
I first and foremost know her from Anne of Green Gables. Also there was Silver Bullet; and an episode of Ray Bradbury Theater; and Second Chances; and the Stratford Festival's stage production of Romeo & Juliet; and Reign.
Fox, Michael J.
Back to the Future; and Family Ties; and Spin City; and Teen Wolf; and The Frighteners; and Mars Attacks!; and Greedy; and The Secret of My Success; and Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey; and The Michael J. Fox Show; and he voiced Milo in Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Frewer, Matt
There was a very small role in Supergirl; starring roles on Doctor Doctor; and Max Headroom; and Honey I Shrunk the Kids; an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation; and Taken; a recurring role on Eureka; the White Knight in Alice; a small role in Watchmen (+ Under the Hood); the TV movie Desperation; a bit of Supernatural; a recurring role on Timeless; and The Stand; and he voiced Jackal on Gargoyles; and Panic in Hercules.
Gellar, Sarah Michelle
Of course, first, foremost, and forever, she is Buffy. But actually, the first thing I ever saw her in was a campy little daytime teen soap opera called Swans Crossing, and she was totally my favorite character on the show. Even then I thought she was destined for major stardom. So I was happy when she later got a role on All My Children, and then I was thrilled when she got Buffy. I've also enjoyed her in other things like Scooby-Doo; and Cruel Intentions; and I Know What You Did Last Summer; and Scream 2; and The Grudge; and Southland Tales; and The Crazy Ones; and in the fourth installment of Princess Rap Battle. Also she voiced April in TMNT; and Seventh Sister on Star Wars Rebels.
Glau, Summer
I know her best from Firefly and Serenity. But I've also enjoyed her work in The 4400, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Dollhouse, and The Cape, and season 2 of Arrow, and Knights of Badassdom, and The Initiation of Sarah, and an episode of Castle. And she appeared as herself in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. And she voiced Kara in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
Graham, Lauren
Loved her in Gilmore Girls. She was also good on Parenthood; and in a recurring role on NewsRadio; and Bad Santa; and It's Kind of a Funny Story; and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist; and The Pacifier. And she voiced Flint's mom in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Green, Seth
He was great in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and the Austin Powers movies. And Greg the Bunny. Also liked him in Byrds of Paradise, though I don't remember it well. And there was Scooby-Doo 2; and It; and Can't Hardly Wait; and minor roles in My Stepmother Is an Alien; and Can't Buy Me Love; and Josie and the Pussycats. Of course there's also some voice work.
Hamill, Mark
First and foremost are the Star Wars movies (starting with episode IV). But there were also a couple episodes of The Flash; and an ep of The Neighbors; and a few eps of The Flash (2014); and a minor role in Kingsman: The Secret Service; and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back; and of course I'm a big fan of a lot of his voice work.
Hannigan, Alyson
First and foremost (IMHO), always, is her role as Willow on Buffy. But actually, I probably first saw her in My Stepmother Is an Alien, and she was pretty good in that. I also liked her in American Pie. And it was nice to see her guesting on Veronica Mars. And I loved her on How I Met Your Mother. And there was the live-action Kim Possible. And Flora & Ulysses. And an episode of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.
Harris, Neil Patrick
Of course, I liked him on Doogie Howser, M.D. And I guess he was okay in Starship Troopers. And I liked him on Stark Raving Mad. And he was pretty good in Joan of Arc. But my favorite role I've seen him in so far is Barney on How I Met Your Mother. I also loved him in the web miniseries Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. And a Doctor Who special, The Giggle. And various voice work. And various commercials, including a series of Old Navy holiday ads in 2019.
Hunt, Bonnie
I know her from Davis Rules; and The Building; and The Bonnie Hunt Show; and Jumanji; and Life With Bonnie; and Jerry Maguire; and a very small role in Now and Then. And she voiced Dolly in Toy Story 3; and Bonnie Hopps in Zootopia; and Sally in Cars. I've probably seen her in some other stuff, too.
Jackson, Samuel L.
Let's see, there's Do the Right Thing; and Black Snake Moan; and Django Unchained; and Jumper; and Jurassic Park; and Jackie Brown; and various "Marvel Cinematic Universe" movies (starting with a cameo at the end of Iron Man); and Pulp Fiction; and Snakes on a Plane; and The Spirit; and the Star Wars prequels; and Unbreakable; and Kingsman: The Secret Service; and Patriot Games; and some voice work. And commercials for things like iPhone and Capital One.
Kidman, Nicole
Let's see... there was Bangkok Hilton, which I don't remember well and didn't hugely care for. And Days of Thunder, which I'm pretty sure I saw, but don't really remember or care about. But I like (to varying degrees) most of the stuff she's been in, including Far and Away; and To Die For; and Batman Forever; and The Golden Compass; and The Others; and Just Go With It; and Bewitched; and Moulin Rouge; and Paddington; and Stoker; and How to Talk to Girls at Parties; and Practical Magic.

Lloyd, Christopher
The Back to the Future trilogy is my favorite thing I've seen him in. He was also great in Taxi; and Who Framed Roger Rabbit; and the Addams Family movies; and Clue; and The Dream Team; and an episode of Psych that was basically a tribute to Clue; and Camp Nowhere; and Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. And voice work in Anastasia; and Over the Garden Wall. And I'm sure I've seen him in plenty of other stuff. Always a pleasure.

And he's done plenty of voice work.

Strong, Tara See voice actors S
Warburton, Patrick
If I have to hear or read one more time "Probably best known as Puddy from Seinfeld," I may just shoot myself. Except that I don't have a gun. Damn. Yes, I remember him from that. Vaguely. It's one of his roles that I remember the least, when I think of him. But whatever, let the world think what it will. Anyway... I suppose the first thing I remember him from is Dave's World. There's also NewsRadio; and the live-action version of The Tick; and Men in Black II; and Scream 3; and Less Than Perfect (though I never saw much of that); and a small role in Get Smart; and Crowded; and a couple episodes of Agents of SHIELD; and a small role in Better Watch Out; and an episode of The Orville (where the only thing recognizable about him was his voice). But I'm mostly a fan of his voice work in animation. Also in 2011 he did a bunch of amusing commercials for Honda.
Wheaton, Wil
Mainly of course I know him as Wesley from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I always liked him in that, despite what many fans (and Wheaton himself) may think of the character. And um, there was also Stand By Me. And the radio drama Invasion from Mars. And he played (an evil version of) himself in a few eps of The Big Bang Theory (and later not evil). And he was Fawkes in seasons 3-4 of The Guild, which was cool. And several eps of Eureka. And various work on Geek & Sundry, including Titansgrave. And a minor role in Pooka Lives. And some voice work.
Whitman, Mae
I know her from a minor role in Independence Day; and State of Grace; and Arrested Development; and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World; and Thief; and Parenthood; and an episode of Suburgatory; and The Perks of Being a Wallflower; and The DUFF; and the Funny or Die short Rugrats; and a cameo in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life; and Good Girls. I'm also a big fan of her voice work.
Williams, Robin
I know him from Mork & Mindy; and Dead Poets Society; and The Fisher King; and Shakes the Clown; and Hook; and Toys; and Being Human; and Mrs. Doubtfire; and Jumanji; and Bicentennial Man; and What Dreams May Come; and Patch Adams; and The Crazy Ones; and Good Will Hunting. Of course, he's also done some pretty good voice work.
