I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* Extreme example: All sorts of hilariously awkward dialogue of this sort occurs between the [[Big Bad]] ([[David Warner]]) and [[The Mentor]] ([[David Warner]]) in the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]-featured film ''[[Quest of the Delta Knights]]''.

* In ''[[Maverick (film)|Maverick]]'' (directed by Richard Donner), Bret Maverick (played by Mel Gibson) is in a bank that is held up by a gang, one of whom is played by Danny Glover (Gibson's co-star from the ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' movies, also directed by Donner); the two men almost appear to recognise each other, but then dismiss the notion. (Then, to cement the association, as Glover's character is mounting his horse for a getaway he is heard to say, "I'm gettin' too old for this shit!" - Glover's famous catchphrase from ''[[Lethal Weapon]]''.)

* In the epilogue of ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2'', {{spoiler|Draco Malfoy's wife is played by Tom Felton's real-life girlfriend}}.

* On ''[[NCIS]]'', after Abby discovers {{spoiler|that she was adopted}}, she tracks down her half-brother. The actor who plays the brother is Pauley Perrette's real life ex-boyfriend turned close friend; Pauley urged her Twitter followers for months to lobby for him to be cast.

* ''[[Cougar Town]]'' got a lot of mileage from the regular and recurring cast of ''[[Scrubs]]'', which was also created by Bill Lawrence and featured Christa Miller in a big role. This got confusing when [[Character Overlap|Ted the Lawyer showed up]] in ''Cougar Town'', and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]] when Ted stopped by the cauldersac and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl6hIiecmxQ freaked out because everyone looked like someone he used to work with].

* ''[[The Middle]]'' has done with Doris Roberts in a recurring role in its second season and Ray Romano in the third-season premiere. Both were, of course, castmates of star Patricia Heaton previously on ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]''.
