@kristysf has an unnerving ability to see a minor actor in some TV show, and identify them as having had a bit part in something else. Example:
@kristysf: You know the store manager in that Fiber One commercial? Me: Yeah? @kristysf: He played a busboy on Sex and the City. He hits on Samantha after she gets stood up. Me: …?
This happens all. The. Time. I’m pretty good at recognizing...
