He’s been in a few heavy hitters; Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle, and Seinfeld.”

“Martin Freeman has been in The Office, Sherlock, and Fargo (I didn’t like it personally, but he was good, and most people seem to love it).”

“I want to give Martin Freeman a shout-out for Fargo, Sherlock, and the UK version of The Office.”

Gillian Anderson

“The X-Files, Hannibal, The Fall; even Sex Education was great, but it hasn’t run long enough to cement its status as an all-time great addition to her filmography.”

“She’ll be in The Crown Season 4, so that’s another great show to add.”

Ted Danson

“Ted Danson has a pretty good list: Cheers, Becker, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Good Place (plus CSI, Bored to Death, Fargo, etc.).”

“Ted Danson is a delightful face in all the shows he’s in. He even made CSI likable.”

Julie Louis-Dreyfus

“She has three big hits; Seinfeld, Veep, and Old Christine.”

“The New Adventures of Old Christine was great, and she won a couple of Emmys.”

“The plot gets wacky in the later seasons, and you start to hate some of the characters, but the jokes always land.”

Bob Odenkirk

“I’m talking Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Better Call Saul.”

“How can you talk about Bob Odenkirk and not mention Mr. Show with Bob and David?”

David Tennant

“David Tennant is in Doctor Who & Jessica Jones, oh and Broadchurch.”

Michael C Hall

“For two shows: 6 Feet Under and, of course, Dexter.”

“He was a TV powerhouse for 12 consecutive years, even if the end of Dexter was a drop in quality.”

“Safe on Netflix as well, which I liked. And isn’t he Kennedy in The Crown?”

Nathan Fillion

“I love him for Firefly, and Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place was great.”

“The Rookie is getting very good reviews. Castle ran for eight seasons. He was in a season of A Series of Unfortunate Events. He’s had roles on Modern Family and Santa Clarita Diet.”

“He’s definitely had a significant presence in multiple well-regarded shows.”

Damian Lewis

“Band of Brothers, Homeland, Billions. It blew my mind when I learned he was English. His accent is so good!”

“He was also the lead on Life, which ran for a couple of seasons. He starred across Sarah Shahi, who is another good one with recurring roles.”

Kristen Bell

“Speaking of The Good Place, Kristen Bell. Veronica Mars, House of Lies, TGP, various encounters with sloths.”

“Yes! Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars, The Good Place, Heroes, and House of Lies.”

“She was of one of the best parts of Heroes, a show that was rapidly going downhill.”

Amy Acker

“She’s been in Alias, Person of Interest, Dollhouse, and Angel.”

“Don’t forget The Gifted; I’d say having Amy Acker is enough of a qualification to be a great show at this point.”

“Definitely, she’s one of the main things that makes the show better.”

Alison Brie

“Brie has been in Community, Bojack Horseman, GLOW, and Mad Men. All amazing shows.”

“Unfortunately, for Mad Men, they just didn’t have the budget to make her a regular. They’d rather give Don a third family than give Pete even one. The world isn’t fair.”

Katey Sagal

“Sagal starred in Married with Children, 8 Simple Rules, Futurama, and Sons of Anarchy.”

“Futurama did a parody episode of Married with Children with an alien named Al.”

“He was in Buffy, Angel, Bones, and SEAL Team as well (but I haven’t seen that yet).

“In the past 22 years, he’s only missed the 2004-2005 TV season. 21 out of those 22 years he’s been part of the main cast of four network TV shows on three different networks.”

Carrie Coon

“Carrie Coon is in The Leftovers, Fargo, and The Sinner.”

“Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find her. The first two are obviously in a different league than the Sinner.”

“This is who I was going to mention. For just quality alone, The Leftovers and Fargo are on their own level.”

Lee Pace

“Lee Pace for Pushing Daisies, and Halt and Catch Fire.”

“He was in Wonderfalls, too. Criminally under-appreciated show.”
