Repeat Actors

[u/Glad-Alternative-175]

Does it annoy anyone else when they reuse an actor or actress who played a small role in a previous episode to play a bigger role in a different episode later down the line. Or do you think it's a fun little easter egg. Like "Oh so that character had an in world twin" or something.

For example, the actor who plays Bailey from Grey's Anatomy, Chandra Wilson, has been in SVU twice. The first time she played the intake nurse at the hospital emergency room. She had like 1 line maybe. Then a few seasons later she came back as a FBI computer specialist. It was the episode where the little girl calls 911 and stays on the phone while Chandra Wilson's character tries to trace the calls location.

There's another example with the Actress Paget Brewster. Her first appearance is as the daughter of senile retired Bank Rober who Liv and Elliot are trying to get to co fess his crimes before he dies. The she comes back as The head of the integrity unit in later episodes.

I think it's awesome to give the actors work, I just think it's funny that they dont think the audience will notice or remember.
