I have started to watch Dexter, a series recommended by blogger Evol, and have noticed that the lady doctor from the prison series Oz features as a policewoman in Dexter.It is astonishing how many cast members from Oz feature in other series. The Law and Order franchise contains many of them. Amusingly most of them appear as representatives of the law whereas in Oz they were mainly dangerous criminals. It is a credit to the fine ensemble acting in Oz that its cast is so much in demand elsewhere.
I'm getting into Dexter slowly. Missing out entirely on series 1 and the first two episodes of series 2 means that I am behind in understanding the histories and personalities of its characters. But it certainly looks interesting.
Because it's filmed in New York, most of the supporting guest cast are also Broadway actors, so it's a running joke that all Broadway cast bios MUST contain Law & Order somewhere.
ReplyDeleteYay! I've converted you! Hmmm, you could try downloading the first season from the Showtime site? The second season isn't going to make much sense without watching the first. Hope you 'bump' into the Phil the plumber this weekend ;p
