I got to thinking this would make for an interesting thread, but have you ever seen any of the human actors in any other shows, movies, plays, etc. outside of SST?
I haven't seen much, but what I have seen is rather interesting.
Roscoe Orman: Being a fan of SANFORD AND SON, I've seen an episode where he and a dimwitted white guy were robbing a bank where Fred and Lamont just happened to be conducting business - Roscoe's character was obviously the brains of the duo, while his partner turned out to be an acquaintence of Lamont's from high school. I also caught a glimpse of WILLIE DYNAMITE, though not the whole movie... it was a little awkward seeing, "The Lovely Magic Gordon Guy" in a skin-tight pimp suit, talking all slow and rapsy, and seducing a girl he had on a bed with him.
Sonia Manzano: I saw her glorious three-second bit part in the old Charles Bronsan movie DEATH WISH (really, has Charles Bronsan ever done anything other than vigilante movies?) as the cashier who rings up spray paint for some gangbangers.
David Langston Smyrl: I know he had a brief recurring role on THE COSBY SHOW as the good-for-nothing handyman who really didn't do much work for the Huxtables. He also narrated a couple of WHAT A CARTOON! shorts animated by Ralph Bakshi.
Leonard Jackson: Caught him playing a judge in a Sidney Sheldon movie (forget the name of it though).
Alan Muraoka: Seen him in a couple of commercials, such as one for Comcast and one for Walgreens, but I've also seen him in some online ads as well, like this one:
Alaina Reed-Hall: Saw her once in a commercial for... um... what was that medication that was supposed to help prevent, "Gotta-go-gotta-go-gotta-go-right-now, gotta-go-gotta-go-gotta-go"? She was a traffic cop.
Gedde Watanabe: REVENGE OF THE NERDS, I LOVE THE 80s: STRIKES BACK, and even SEINFELD without realizing it.
Savion Glover: Saw him perform live in my hometown several years ago, and of course, he did Mumble's choreography in HAPPY FEET (and I'm assuming HAPPY FEET TWO, which I didn't see).
Lillias White: I keep feeling like I've seen her in something else, but I, for the life of me, can't remember what.
