Retro T.V. Actors in roles today

by

carlweathers_1.jpgIn the world of entertainment Actors and Actresses go from T.V. to the big screen and back to T.V. with no problem.

Here’s a look at soon to be released DVD with Actors and Actresses we know from the past.

Better Luck Tomorrow
Jerry Matthews plays a part in this coming to adulthood movie as the Biology teacher. I’m sure we all can remember a few of the roles that he has taken on.

Jerry Matthews is mostly known for that weekly sitcom Leave it to Beaver and The New Leave It To Beaver.

The Comebacks
Carl Weathers takes on the role of Freddie Wiseman in The Comebacks. I’m sure many of us remember Carl Weathers from In The Heat Of The Night where he played the role of Chief Hampton Forbes.

The Invasion
It’s now time to go down under to Australia. The defiant Actress worked in television from 1983 to 1985. She had a role in twelve episodes in “Five Mile Creek”. Can you figure out who the actress is? Of course it’s Nicole Kidman.

Across the Universe
Now that we’ve been to Australia it’s time to fly across the pond. Eddie Izzard who has been known as The Greatest Stand-Up Comedian is now playing Mr. Kite in Across the Universe.

If you don’t know who he is check out HBO’s Tales From the Crypt Confession episode. That’s where he got his start in American television.

That’s about it for television actors in movie roles. I’ll let you know about 1950 – 1990’s television shows on DVD as soon as they come about. Till then enjoy watching retro television.

About Retro TV

Watching Retro TV is many things to many people. Part anthropology, part TWOP of shows past, and part historical perspective with a tv junkie's short attention span. Watching Retro TV is not the site for the faint at snark. We watch sitcoms, dramas, and even those terrible holiday specials that kept former stars eating through the lean times all in a effort to bring some respectibility and self-respect to those of us who were raised on the network teat. Join us...the kool-aid tastes great.
