You Know
You might be too invested in B-List actors when you have to refer to them by their other roles for the people in your office to recognize them.
"Oh, you know, he played Karl on Desperate Housewives."
"No, no he was Denny on Grey's Anatomy."
"He was, um, on an episode of Frasier once."
"Yeah he played Dean on Gilmore Girls." (And, Lord that one has really gotten me strange looks because they think young teenager. Like actors can't age or something.)
"He was in The Covenant. No? Ummm, Friday Night Lights? Yeah, well I don't watch that show either. Football, you know?"
"So hey, yeah, he's on Leverage No? Err, well he played this guy who stabbed Sam in Supernatura... What? I do too watch normal shows! Who got you hooked on NCIS?"
You know what's worse? When the only other thing you can think of is to say that an actor was on Smallville. Because I swear that everybody as been on Smallville. It's worse than saying "(S)he played a suspect on CSI." Although, it is scary how many actors and actresses have been swapped between CSI and Nip/Tuck. Or, now that I think of it, The Closer and Nip/Tuck.
