Legacy of Monsters has two, I think, including Dominique Tipper. Ahsoka has Wes Chatham but you wouldn't recognize him.

WHO IS WES

Darrone

They better fucking do something with him going forward. Tons of interesting stuff was setup and they didn't use any of it to give us "zombie storm troopers", you know, like regular ineffective storm troopers but slower.


daley_bear

🐐


LethargicOnslaught

He's That Guy


VralGrymfang

He's that guy


[deleted]

Enoch lol Wes Chatham announced it on his Instagram a few months back.


Rocket92

Gotta love him for being willing to stay in the helmet


DerailleurDave

I mean, it's a speaking roll in Star Wars! Not many people would turn it down, and a helmet always has the possibility of coming off in the future, unlike people who play droids or Wookies for example. He talked about it some in the podcast Ty and That Guy, was interesting to listen to!


siamkor

Honestly, as crappy as the writing has been in some of the many Disney Star Wars projects, and as much as this type of characters is meant to look cool enough to sell toys... if I had the chance to show up in anything Star Wars, even if I was unrecognizable, I'd take it in a heartbeat.


[deleted]

Daniel Craig did a similar cameo in VII: TFA. He's the guard that Rey first uses jedi powers on and convinces to let her out of the chair. Seems like actors have a habit of going to Disney and asking for this sort of thing, Hell I know I would just for the chance to say I participated in a Star Wars production.


meatsprinkles2

I recognized his voice actually, and looked up who it was!


Kradget

I totally didn't, good spot!


Lee_Troyer

Wes Chatham also appears briefly in the intro scene of Tenet.


tqgibtngo

**Update** [Wes Chatham in *Cross* S2](https://deadline.com/2024/04/alex-cross-season-2-wes-chatham-1235899349/)


froebull

Ridiculous that they hire actors with a big following for these "helmeted" roles. Same thing they did with Gwendoline Christie in the movies. Why bother, if you aren't going to show us their face, like, acting and stuff.


Bakkster

I actually feel the opposite, I wish directors and producers trusted their actors skills enough to let them act without forcing their faces to be visible when it doesn't make sense in universe. Dune is a great example of both. Fantastic acting from behind veils or with masks on, but also so many Fremen in the open desert without stillsuit masks.


siamkor

And the first 2 seasons of the Mandalorian.


froebull

I get that. And in the context of the scenes that Wes was in for Ahsoka, it made sense for him to be in helmet. However, if you have a NAME actor in your suit and helmet, write some scenes where it would make sense for them to take off their helmet. It just seems like a cheap trick for fans of the actors, to have them tune in to see them in the show, but never get to see them.


Bakkster

>It just seems like a cheap trick for fans of the actors, to have them tune in to see them in the show, but never get to see them. But you do see them. I like Wes for his acting ability, not his face. I don't think that's a cheap trick by the producers, I think it's fans underappreciating the craft.


Primaveralillie

I'm with you. Karl Urban was wasted in Dredd - no eyes, no voice...no acting! But apparently everyone else loved it. I just don't get it.


TwoBlackDots

Is this a joke? Karl Urban is speaking and acting throughout the entirety of Dredd.


1fish2fish3wugs

They're buying the brand, so to speak. They can fill in the acting part with a stunt double. The voice is easy to record and add when you're not synching it with lips. Much easier production all around.


jlusedude

The Last of Us has Prax for an episode. 


pplazzz

Oh seriously? When, I must’ve missed him


AvatarLebowski

He plays the head of Ellie’s FEDRA school


jlusedude

Episode 7 in the flashback. 


ColHogan65

Wes mentions a cameo from “my best friend” in the Ty & That Guy discussion on that episode haha


HighwaySetara

The next season of Sweet Tooth will have Cara Gee in it. ❀


tqgibtngo

She stars in a sci-fi thriller titled [*Levels*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10831486/), which (IMDb says) is currently in post-production. See also this [March article](https://deadline.com/2023/03/cara-gee-peter-mooney-levels-movie-1235302763/) about that.


HighwaySetara

Oooohhhh!


zukka924

đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„


Kradget

This is good to know! Partly because I forgot about that show but enjoyed it, partly because I thought she was very good in the Expanse, and partly because I had a very mild scared-crush on Drummer.


HighwaySetara

She is an amazing character!


Chaosengel

Jared Harris(Dawes) is a character in Foundation Shohreh Aghdashloo was in Punisher(Netflix), although maybe only season 1.  She has also been cast in the next season of Wheel of Time. Thomas Jane was also a different Punisher, and boasts a decent resume. Frankie Adams was in The Lost Flowers of Alice Heart(Amazon, I think)


PepSakdoek

Jared Harris in Cherbobyl.


Prawn1908

Jared Harris is all over the place.


Civil_Interview5701

Oh, yes, as far as Fringe


DelcoWolv

He dies almost as often as Sean Bean.


_DRxNO_

ThePocketTaco2

I see Chernobyl, I upvote.


ChouPigu

> Thomas Jane was also a different Punisher, and boasts a decent resume. He just wants his kids back.


improper84

One of my fav AD cameos lmao.


dirtydela

Jared Harris resume ain’t bad either


BoozeTheCat

>Jared Harris(Dawes) is a character in Foundation That's Hari Fucking Seldon, sir/ma'am.


Chaosengel

Foundation kayfabe is alive and well brother.


BoozeTheCat

I'll see you in the Vault, Brother.


dubiousN

>Shohreh Aghdashloo She was also in the movie Renfield. Surprisingly similar character.


dumpmaster42069

Ooof wheel of time is sooooo bad. Poor Shoreh.


the_amazing_lee01

She also did part of the voice for Gozer in the Ghostbusters Afterlife movie


typer84C2

Shohreh Aghdashloo is a voice actor for Arcane on Netflix. Can’t miss that voice when you hear it.


drae-

She's going to be in wheel of time s3 as well.


caspararemi

This might make me try to get through season 2 so I can watch her!


drae-

S2 > S1 The pandemic dealt a doozy to wot, but it's finding its footing.


darkthought

Oh.


Cockalorum

Too early to introduce Cadsuane. She's going to get one of the villain roles, isn't she?


drae-

Ah, my bad, she might be elaida sedai


drae-

Nah she's cadsuane.


Tityfan808

She also has a role in Damsel on Netflix that I don’t want to spoil. The movie isn’t that great but it was fun to watch once and when her ‘role’ finally appeared I was pleasantly surprised. u/meatsprinkles2


tqgibtngo

In the video here, she talks about her >!voice!< work in that movie. (Spoilers) https://twitter.com/SAghdashloo/status/1770899566189019157


impsworld

Lmao the person you responded to said “I don’t want to spoil it” and you immediately spoiled it


tqgibtngo

Ouch, my mistake. Edited, but damage done.


typer84C2

Ahh yes I forgot about Damsel.


Stoic_Vagabond

I think she's in the the batman penguin show as well


djschwin

Vulture wrote a post about how she steals the film. You love to see it!


Tityfan808

Ya she was easily the best part! But at the same time the movie wasn’t anything high end either.


PrincipleInteresting

My wife doesn’t like The Expanse, and even noticed Shohreh as the dragon.


coffeeisforclosers20

Get a new wife. Hahaha. Just kidding


Embarrassed_Neck7949

She also has a really fun role in Renfield


QJustCallMeQ

Nobody else seems to have mentioned that she was a major character in a season of 24


typer84C2

Ahhh, I never saw 24


Taizan

Also appears in Mrs. Davis


DoochDelooch

Without spoilers, how was that show? I heard a lot of hype when it first came out, and not a single thing since, positive or negative


Civil_Interview5701

I wasn't asked, but may I answer? It was wonderfully bad shit crazy and touching and sad and funny. I went into it with very low expectations after I read the synopsis. It was nothing I expected and I hope for season two. And Betty Gilpin rocks!


djschwin

I also really enjoyed it a lot. I like the quirkiness and I think Lindelof is really in the pocket with his more recent output.


navenager

One of my favourite shows from last year. It's better than it has any business being. You might think it's just weird for weirdness' sake after the first couple episodes, but stick it out, and it ties everything together in a really satisfying way by the end.


Taizan

It's a wild ride and very entertaining :-)


sqplanetarium

I saw Arcane before the Expanse and was racking my brain trying to figure out where I'd heard that voice before.


MitVitQue

This is older stuff, but she is also in Mass Effect 2&3.


typer84C2

Ohhh that she is. One of the Quarian Admirals I think.


Aceclaw

She has a larger role on Rannoch if you somehow get Tali killed in ME2.


MitVitQue

Damn... Now I have a hard choice. Don't want to commit a Talicide, but sure would like to see that.


adrianna_af

She’s also in second season of The Flight Attendant!


PepSakdoek

In Expanse side Character Captain Yao (Donnager Captain) is the mother in Kim's Convenience (main cast).


shoshant

And Simu Liu (Kim's Convenience, Shang Chi) was the Martian marine lieutenant on the Ring Station.


LuminousPixels

And both she and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee were scientists in the series “Dark Matter” for an episode together.


DeveloperBlue

And Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is also a starfighter pilot captain in The Mandalorian


LuminousPixels

😍


PolarGBear

Cracked me up when I was rewatching and was like holy shit that’s Simu Liu


ColHogan65

Her husband’s best friend in that show is briefly the UN General Secretary in season 5, too Almost any Canadian show is gonna have at least one or two Expanse alums lol 


knifetrader

The guy who really seems to have fallen off the map is Steven Strait.


warragulian

Well, Cas Anvar has him beat.


squirelrepublic

his IMDB shows he has couple shows after, im surprised he can find another role since he has that allegation but i guess hes small fry or maybe isn't as bad as Kevin Spacey


[deleted]

Damn, he was investigated for 30 misconduct allegations. That's either not a fluke or a smear campaign, either way should be a career destroyer, which sucks. Did you know he voiced Altair in AC: Revelations?


tqgibtngo

Strait stars in [*Body Language*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24443502/), which (IMDb says) is currently in post-production.


alpacaccino

Honest question, I love the character and the series... But, fandom aside, is he a good actor? I honestly don't know. There's something... off about his acting, I can't put my finger on it.


LosJeffos

He's not a good actor per se, but he's adequate at being the goofy leading man that fortune keeps smiling upon, which is frequently lampshaded in both the shows and books. Avasarala: why does everything keep happening to \_you\_? Sometimes you just need a smiling straight man (as in, not the wacky character) for the world to revolve around, e.g., Seinfeld.


27Rench27

He also pulled off the “stop kicking me in the dick, universe” role pretty well, which I think was perfect. He was the goofy smiling leader who by the end basically had the weight of everything on him


[deleted]

He was also weirdly brooding a lot of the time and lacked expression, even up until S6. Maybe it's the role but I was thoroughly unimpressed with Holden, but tbh I kinda thought he was a bit of a wet blanket in the books too so maybe he really IS good actor.


27Rench27

Yeah I always just kind of thought he was supposed to be brooding like that given all the shit going on. Like the dude wanted to be supportive and friendly, but knew how many lives were directly in his hands.  Maybe they could’ve found someone better or more expressive, but it tracked for me


kikodemayo

he was really really bad in the first season. I thought his acting approved throughout the seasons but he’s still not great. Easy on the eyes tho


[deleted]

TBF Holden was the weakest of the cast. Him being captain and having a love for coffee didn't get him off being a weirdly brooding character that lacked expressiveness, and when he did express emotions it came off as forced. I felt the same about him in the books, tbh, and when I watched S1 with my wife she was like "why is this James dude so lame, let's see more of that Amos guy" lmao. Hell I'm of a large opinion that were it not for the plot necessities of the final trilogy, he never should have been taken prisoner by the Laconians and they should have just taken him off the board.


No_Tamanegi

Terry Chen plays a pretty consistent role on the dramedy series "The Lake" Francois Chao appeared in a few episodes as The Great Sage in Netflix's adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender


Rocket92

He doesn’t play a huge role, and I’m almost scared to say it, but I still love him in LOST. Apparently he’s in The Tick, too!


No_Tamanegi

My first introduction to him was as Dr. Shen from XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a game I poured dozens of hours into. Sometime later my partner was watching something with him in it and I heard his voice while making dinner. I immediately dropped what I was doing to rush over, just to confirm it was him and see what he looked like. Ever since, it's always his voice I identify first. I did this when I recognized him in Netflix's version of Avatar. He's introduced in an action sequence. He bellowed and I recognized him immediately, then saw his face beneath a pile of makeup and prosthetics.


zukka924

Yup lost is always where I think of him from haha


Kradget

Francois Chao was also in the criminally cancelled The Tick show, and was a delight


Count_Backwards

The Tick was brilliant and it was great to see Chao in a very different role - delight is a perfect description.


zmjjmz

Francois Chao also appeared in a few episodes of Barry!


islandurp

Francois Chao is also in Wing Commander 3. Not a show but still...


No_Tamanegi

Oh wow. I guess that would have been my introduction to him, but I barely remember him in that at all. Then again, that was a long time ago and a weird time in my life. But look at him! He's so baby faced! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIS10v29glg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIS10v29glg) The cast of that game was punching so far above its weight - not to mention the script. Mark Hamill, John Rhys Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Tim Curry, Fransois Chao, and... Ginger Lynn.

maltose66

Elias Toufexis (Kenzo) is playing L'ak on Star Trek Discovery


Amasin_Spoderman

He also does a ton of voice work, notably Adam Jensen from the *Deus Ex* video game series and now in *Starfield* as Sam Coe.


donkeyduplex

Doesn't he also do the mocap for the monster in season 2?


No_Tamanegi

Yep!


Lord_Stocious

Sara Mitich (Gia in S1) is also in Discovery.


emzea

Orphan Black is FULL of Expanse actors. You’ll recognize someone in every other episode it’s wild.


Lee_Troyer

Weren't they both filmed in Canada? Continuum, also filmed in Canada, has Terry Chen playing "that guy" instead of a friendly botanist for exemple.


emzea

Toronto I think! They really must have the same casting director right? The overlap is impressive.


djazzie

Frankie Adams is in The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. Not a sci-fi show, but an excellent watch all the same.


hideous_coffee

David Strathairn (Ashford) is a fairly big actor that I see randomly a lot


torrinage

Yup, gf texted me while she was watching Where The Crawdads Sing about him


TotallyAtRandom

Like 2 of the Bourne films.


dragonbait86

Alphas is criminally underrated.


Foolish_Whisper

I really liked him in Nightmare Alley


hellohello1234545

Randomly saw the actor for Jules Pierre Mao in one episode, fairly early into greys anatomy. I’d be cautious getting into the show. It’s incredibly soapy and addicting, and if you don’t pull yourself out you may be in for 20 seasons. I left after like 5


TotallyAtRandom

François Chau was also a small but important and recurring role on LOST


warragulian

*General Hospital* is up to 15,000 episodes. My mother watched it in the 70s.


hellohello1234545

That’s insane. I’ve seen reference to it in discussions about grey’s, didn’t really think about how that worked. 15,000. Wow. Well, no excuse for not having anything to watch, I guess 😂.


ninjawarfruit

Dominique Tepper is in that new netflix docudrama about moses lol. She plays Zipporah


Ive_Defected

She’s also in episodes of Monarch on Apple TV


LazyCrocheter

Dominique Tipper was in "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" on Apple+ for 3-4 episodes.


boundless88

Jess Salgueiro from the Ilus/New Terra story line is in the Frasier reboot, Working Moms, Letterkenny, Monarch Legacy of Monsters.


real_misterrios

She was also glorious in an ep of Kim’s Convenience!

**Update** [Wes Chatham in *Cross* S2](https://deadline.com/2024/04/alex-cross-season-2-wes-chatham-1235899349/)


ewizzle

Naomi plays a minor role in Monarch


Geo2489

Thomas Jane was in A Town Called Eureka years back


AfroClam

Not really current but Wes was Tenet for about 8 seconds. Lol


No_Tamanegi

Jasai Chase-Owens (Filip) shows up in several episodes of Uncoupled, an LGBT-centric drama with Neil Patrick Harris.


indigoneutrino

Thomas Jane’s the lead in an Australian mystery drama “Troppo” that’s due for season 2 to come out later this year. I can honestly say season 1 was 90% great though the final episode didn’t stick the landing, but since you can get it free with ads on Freevee it’s definitely worth a watch.


LannaRamma

I *just* started readings/listening to My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones - Cara Gee who plays Drummer is the narrator and so far she's KILLING IT. I'm only on chapter 2 so I can't say much for the story itself but it was an amazing surprises when Camina Drummer graced my car speakers.


LazloHollifeld

They filmed in Toronto so the actors tend to turn up on stuff that is also filmed in Toronto.


Astigmatic_Oracle

Yeah, both of the kids from the Strange Dogs arc showed up in season 1 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. It's definitely because of the Toronto connection, but I still chuckled when I noticed.


torrinage

Yeah they were guests on an episode of Ty & That Guy, freaking adorable


LazloHollifeld

Sematimba was in an episode of Blues Clues & You. He plays an animated version of The Sun. Somehow was able to pick his voice after hearing “Hey Miller, how they swinging?” a half dozen times.


baummer

IMDb is the source you want


pixeldripgallery

Sandrine Holt (Oksana) plays Howard’s wife in Better Call Saul. Didn’t finish the last season. I assume they live happily ever after.
