6ixStringJack: The one time I remember that happening was on Deadwood when they brought Garret Dillahunt back a few seasons after he died as a completely different character. I don't think I even realized it the first time I watched that it was the same actor since it was a few years later and the 2 characters were so different. I never watched the movie, but he was in there too as a 3rd character.  |
| 6ixStringJack: I don't think they did that with Once Upon a Time, or at least they didn't make a habit of it. They had so many characters that it's probably almost certain they reused somebody. But I don't think they had any shortage of actors or actresses to find for parts on that one. |

| Brenda: Huh. Well, Bill Mumy started on Lost in Space when he was a kid and as an adult went onto play Lennier on B5. |
| Brenda: That happens too. Just when you get to like a character or a certain actor on a tv. They bail. |
| Brenda: Yeah, a lot of shows back then had a list of actors that they would bring back as different characters. I know that happened on B5 at least once. |
| Brenda: Cool if Carlyle was. I knew it ran a long time but didn't know it was that long. Think my library's website said they have about 4 seasons of it. |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: Laughed when I saw the dude who came in 3rd place on the episode count and thought "who the hell is he? I don't remember him.". Yeah. He's probably pushing 30 now in the pictures on IMDB. He was a kid when the show started. |
| 6ixStringJack: Wow. Looks like 2 of the three main female leads must have bailed out for the last season. Carlyle and the Evil Queen were the only ones with 156 episodes. Snow White, the mom and the kid only had 134-141 episodes. |
| 6ixStringJack: I remembered that Carlyle was a much bigger part of the show than a Big Bad of the week or even just a 1 season arc bad, but cool hearing the he had a job that long. I'll bet by Season 4 or 5 he and the other 3 or 4 main leads were making bank to come back. |

| 6ixStringJack: Looked a bit into it earlier today and I do believe that Carlyle was in every single episode of the show, and that was a 7 year run. I rememember it seemed to have a never-ending cast list and they were always having different characters in little one-offs here or there, and maybe bringing them back in on occasion. |
| Brenda: Being based around fairy tales, I would imagine there are some other UK actors. But I'm just guess of course. Outside of you telling me about Carlyle, don't think I know exactly of any. |
| Brenda: I'll never know until I give Trainspotting a try. Like I said all I know about the movie is what I heard about it when it came out. |
| 6ixStringJack: Grow up, Theodore. |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: And come to think of it, there may be some more British actors in Once Upon a Time. I seem to remember a really cute young woman from the UK soaps was in there for a while, so it wasn't just Carlyle. But I don't think there were any actual UK accents going on unless one of the characters called for it. |
| 6ixStringJack: I know you like the British stuff, so maybe you would like all of it. I can't objectively say that Trainspotting was a bad movie since I remember almost nothing about it. Never messed with any hard drugs myself and lost a few people I called friend to them. Depression movies are rarely my bag. |
| Brenda: Yeah, I know to that Once Upon a Times was pretty hot stuff when it first hit too. Think I would have better luck with myself. I didn't watch Trainspotting when it first came out because it sounded so depressing. And at that time depression wasn't dragging me down. So, I just vetoed it. |
