Original Title: I now seemed to be seeing a few actors who are currently on one tv show but are now showing up on another show different networks some same network I’m old enough to remember when that was somehow not allowed wayyy back in the old days?
Title. What has changed? I seem to recall actors couldn’t even reference a different network from the one they had a series on let alone be on two different tv show with one being on a competitor’s network. Im seeing some actors currently in different roles, on a different show and for some it’s the same or a different network. I thought I saw or read somewhere some actors almost missed out on what would become their breakout role because they were doing another series on a different network (ex. Jen Aniston and the role of Rachel) What has changed?
