There were actors that I knew from one movie, in other movies where I didn't recognize them at all. I don't know if I saw the other movies before the ones that I saw them in their more recognizable roles for me or what, lol 😆. Some of them I surely saw afterwards and was just having a brain farct, idk, lol! It's funny how that happens I guess.
