Numb-nuts!

[tripperfunster]

Don't you just love epiphanies? Despite almost exclusively drawing faces, I am a complete DERP when it comes to recognizing people, both in RL and on TV.

Last year, I sounded like I was having an orgasm when I realized that 'Red' from Orange is the New Black was 'Janeway' from Star Trek.
I kept thinking, God, she's so familiar! Where do I know her from? (in my defence, I never watched Voyager. ) … it was Voyager, right? Or Next Gen? I only watched ToS.

Then, just now, I pooped a little bit when I realized that Thorandriul was Ned the Pie Maker. Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

I've not seen The Hobbit, but I've seen a jillion gifs of him swooping his cape around and being FABULOUS, but not in a million years did I think he was Ned! I'm sure I'm the only one, but it gave me a good laugh.

I had no idea 'red' was played by 'Janeway' either until this very moment.
Of course, I didn't watch Voyager either, but I can fairly tell you I would not have realized it even if I had. I am utter crap at remembering and recognizing faces.

Lee Pace is also this guy:

From Guardians? NO FREAKIN' WAY!!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yup. Me too. I always feel so clever and smug when I figure something like this out, even when I'm the last one on the planet!

Seriously. It blew my mind that he was scary uber-macho Ronan and not so macho Elfy at the same time.

I so love seeing actresses who get a bit chunky and still get good acting roles.

Thranduil's a bit of a surprise. Cute in either guise, though. Who is Ned the Pie Maker?

Oh lord - I never realised Ned became an Elf!

This is one reason I LOVE IMDB so much - no longer to I have to spend weeks in torment because I vaguely recognise an actor in one show as being someone from another film or programme because I can look them up straight away.

Chunky? Hell, just OLDER THAN 23! And it's a great role, not just someone's mom, or grandma!

Ned the Pie Maker is from Pushing Daisies. It's a very … cute but purposefully odd show. Kind of like Twin Peaks? But way less dark. Ned is the main character, and is painfully puppy-dog cute.

I only realized it when someone on Tumblr posted something with the characters split screen with the actors. The pic of Lee Pace, he was turned to the side, and it was kind of small but I was like … 'huh, that almost looks like Ned. …. WAIT A FUCKIN' MINUTE! THAT *IS* NED!!!"

The Lee Pace revelation had me gasping when I figured it out too! Man, that guy Elfs up amazingly.

Killer is, now, when I look at him as Ned, all I see is elf!

Ha! I knew about Janeway because she was my hero (I've yet to see her as Red though, only been able to watch clips and gifsets;) but had NO IDEA about Ned, what a great transformation!

(Hi, I'm not stalking you in a creepy way, I promise)

Hey, creepy stalking is the BEST stalking! :D
