Watching curb your enthusiasm for the first time and while It makes sense given Larry David’s stature in comedy tv, I’m still a bit astounded that over half the actors in small day-player role has gone to have a major main or supporting role in a big sitcom of the past 25 years. Currently watching David yell at Jane from the Comeback !
Interested to hear discussion on other shows people have noticed have a lot of now very famous actors playing really small roles! Obviously Law and Order is the big one and the other two that come to mind are Mad Men and Veronica Mars.
Also curious if about what current shows that could end up in the same position as starmakers. I could see it being the kids in Abbot Elementary!
edit: Orginally said SVU when I meant Law and Order as a whole franchise
