Bruce Lee is in that old show The Green Hornet. Oddly enough I've watched that show when I was younger and I've been watching since they put it back on but I didn't find this out until yesterday. Oh yeah. After the Green Hornet went off the air, Hong Kong (where Bruce Lee was from) started airing reruns of it, but they changed the name to The Kato Show (named after his character Kato). That made him the most popular Asian star in the world, and led to his getting a movie deal.

That should have let me figure it out before. What it comes down to is in The Green Hornet Kato has his mask on most of the tiem you see him. I grew up being a huge Bruce Lee fan and I loved when channel 66 was still an english station. They often ran old martial arts movies including many Bruce Lee movies.

To those of us not around to see Echo Base at the gathering in the firey water you ought to know that Cliff Claven himself; John Ratzenburger is a rebel in The Empire Strikes Back.

Yes, absolutely. It's really too bad they couldn't get George Wendt in there too.

Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney (the funniest character) on How I Met Your Mother, used to play Doogie Howser back in the 80s.
And he was also in Starship Troopers.

Bob Saget, whom you probably know from Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, is the voice of Future Ted on How I Met Your Mother.

Ive heard stories that Bob Saget can be really dirty when he wants to be.

Yes and I heard him once say he'll never do a show like Full House again. He said he just can't act like that anymore. Anyone who has seen Full House knows that it's a loving family type show where the problem is almost always solved by the end of a 30 minute episode.

It occurred to me while listening to a song from Animaniacs about cheese, that Pinky sounds a lot like Coconut Fred from the awful WB cartoon Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island.
As it turns out, that's because they're both voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also voiced Yakko and Dr. Scratchensniff on Animaniacs, as well as Oobedoob Benubi in Thumb Wars. And he voiced Max in the old Mighty Max cartoon. And P.J. in Goof Troop. And most amazing of all, he was Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
Seems he's quite an accomplished voice actor. Coconut Fred is definitely his worst role ever, though.

Daniel Stern was the voice of Dilbert. For some of us we know Daniel Stern better as the one burler Marv from Home Alone.
