PNWguy Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Twice this week, I found out actors in older movies as children, reappeared in new movies/shows that I had no idea were the same person. First was the kid who played Russ in Christmas Vacation... Found out he was one of the main characters, Leonard, in one of my favorite TV shows, The Big Bang Theory... Then, remember the little girl from Water World with Kevin Costner? She played Napoleon Dynamite's romantic interest... Had no idea all these years of the connections... Do you guys have any similar ones? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a crush on Beverly D'Angelo back then, so a celebrity surprise from her would've been really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
