So far I remember seeing Bradley Cooper as a slimy lawyer, Cynthia Nixon hamming it up as a suspect pretending to have Dissociative Identity Disorder, Amanda Seyfried and Hayden Panettiere. I've seen plenty of others I recognized but these stand out and I know the name of. My complaint is a minor one because I do love seeing all the guest stars. I'm watching SVU now (it was added to Netflix in my country recently) and one thing that really stands out is the performance of most (if not all) of the child actors, especially the younger ones. (Teens are hit or miss.) They're absolutely stellar with few exceptions, and for a show that centers around kids a lot of the time and deals with seriously heavy themes that's really important, but poo poo, a lot of the time they blow the adult actors out of the water. To bring this back to (irrationally) irritating, I'm getting kind of sick of Ice T. I don't even mean his "kids these days call it [meme]" schtick, that I do appreciate and enjoy, but I don't know if it's his character or his acting or what but his (trying to be) hard rear end line delivery just grates on me. It's too forced or insincere and nearly every line is done with the same intonation and whatnot. I dunno. Benson is fine, Stabler is loving insane and I love it (is this the point where I insert the I know it's copaganda and that poo poo shouldn't be acceptable? Pretend I did.), I like the ADA and captain, and Munch is is hilarious but I could do without Ice T even though he has his moments.

Law & Order pulled from the same New York/New Jersey acting pool as HBO starting in the late eighties, so you'll see a ton of people that have been on three HBO shows and two episodes of L&O as different characters.

Pedro Pascal was in a late season (original run) episode where he played a pimp who raped a girl but didn't kill her so he gets a deal.

You should check out the original Miami Vice run. NBC put that show in the timeslot where shows went to die, Friday night at 10pm, and for the first two seasons at least it was the best thing on TV. Let's see, off the top of my head you had: Bruce Willis as a gun smuggler; Davis Strathairn as a cop; Liam Neeson typecast as an Irish terrorist; Nathan Lane playing against type as a serial rapist; a whole bunch of other people that went on to bigger things, like Ron Perlman, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburn, Steve Buscemi, Michael Richards, Dan Hedaya, Richard Belzer, Luis Guzman. And that's not even considering the stunt casting: Phil Collins, Leonard Cohen, Lee Iacocca, G. Gordon Liddy, and Miles Davis as a pimp named Ivory Jones.

lmao Benson just got a pizza delivered to her by name at the precinct that she didn't order, while working on a high profile dangerous case, and she's just "I didn't order it, throw it out" no questions asked like that isn't a red flag at all and another detective is like "ooooh, double pepperoni, don't bin it, I'll take it" and surprise, surprise, pipe bomb, but also it's a minor blast that just throws some people around without causing serious damage or maiming/killing anyone. I know it's copaganda in the sense of 'by any means necessary' but also for drama's sake they act in the dumbest loving ways if the plot asks for it. Common sense and previous experience is just ignored on a whim if needed, which makes the characters look like idiots a lot of the time. eta: This episode has Jared Harris and Shannon Woodward though so whatever, that makes up for all the writing faults.

Haha, my GF is going through an SVU re-watch and I peep in every now and then, and she also just watched that episode the other day. Like...do they not have ANY security at the SVU office? The number of people able to sneak in guns, bombs, etc.. is off the charts. In the Law and Order world, the two most dangerous places in NYC are the courthouse steps, and the SVU Manhattan offices.

People just constantly walking into the SVU office and going “oh my god is that my dead daughter/son/husband/wife?” when they have a grisly crime scene board Or getting into fistfights or shooting each other in the corridor.

They also had an episode where there's a court scene and the person on the stand is being questioned, but by no means proven to be guilty or anything yet, and as a sort of gotcha they go how do you fel about this? and they just reveal huge poster boards of horrific crime scenes where you clearly see the murder victims laid out in all the gruesome glory. Just for everyone to see: the witness/assumed perpetrator, but also the jury and the audience. Just everyone, here's some super gruesome gore for you all to look at without any warning at all, in full HD on a big placard, we got the best printing shop to print this out for u.

The old outer limits/ twilight zone episodes are a gold mine for guest stars that went big time. Favorite was Ryan Reynolds who not only smoked weed but tried to have premarital sex and therefore got eaten by a house.

Aquaman 2 has a really bizarre plot where Black Manta is causing global warming to be worse because he's trying to melt some ice in the arctic in order to free an ancient bad guy who is promising him power. Except then also melting the ice won't free him and they need the blood of the royal family in order to break a curse?

The Night Comes for Us Movie is (mostly) in Indonesian, so I watched it with English subtitles. A character named Bob is occasionally called Bobby in the subs when the characters are clearly saying Bob. Even weirder, the subs refer to heroin as smack, junk and other slang terms while the characters are consistently just calling it heroin.
