Odd Coincidence

Lately Asher and I have been catching up on an ill fated television series called Undeclared . I really liked the show and was bummed when it was canceled. It was one of Jud Apatow's first project, Freaks and Geeks was another. Both were great funny shows that I really liked, but it was before people recognized his genius and he brought you movies like Anchor Man, 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Those two television shows only lasted a season.

I wonder if those channels are kicking themselves now?

Mr. Apatow is one among many director/producers who uses the same actors over an over in many of his films. For example:

The mentioned films are all Apatows:
Will Ferrell- undeclared, anchorman, kicking and screaming (w/ mike ditka)
Steve Carrell- Anchorman, 40 year old virgin, knocked up
Seth Rogan- freaks and geeks, undeclared, 40 year old virgin, knocked up superbad

Another actress who has made it in a lot of his films/tv shows is Carla Gallo who after seeing Undeclared again I wondered what she was up to. Besides random small parts in Apatow films, after seeing her in Superbad, we ran into her at a tea house on Sunset and Vine.

How strange.
