I
started this series on Facebook a month ago, but thought I should transport it here so it
wouldn’t get lost down in the infinite scroll. The idea should be pretty

favorites of mine – actors who I always enjoy seeing pop up in various roles in
whatever films or programs I’m currently watching. I am going to begin with a
guy whose work I’ve enjoyed for nearly a quarter of a century:
Stephen Root
These are only a
handful of his big screen highlights as he’s been on seemingly every TV show of
the last 30 years too - from Roseanne to Seinfeld to King of the Hill to The West Wing to The Big
Bang Theory to Barry to the title character in The Man in the High Castle - you get the
idea, his filmography is nuts. So let’s salute Stephen Root.
Finally, Root may be the only actor in this series whose image in character is used in the packaging of a popular product:
