Two (or more) time successful TV actors/resses.

[wiffleball 4,631]

Extra points for more than two.

 

I could go obvious with say, Tom Selleck, but instead, choose Nathan Fillion of Castle and Firefly fame. Admittedly, FF wasn't exactly huge popularity-wise, but still, one of my favorite actors on the flat-screen nonetheless.

Nice. The only thing I'd say is, should be a lead role. Angel wasn't a lead role in BTVS, but solid contributions to be sure. Really like the way he went from Angel to Bones.

This is a sneakily okay show. I would never make a point of tuning in for it, but it's in syndication now, and sometimes I'll leave it on in the background, and it's not horrible. There's some okay subtlety to it. Looks like maybe it's from the same people who made King of Queens, which was also not horrible.

This. Hollywood actors are recycled like NFL kickers and coaches. In fact, there's only one actor who hasn't been on multiple shows, and that's Steve Urkel. And that's a shame.

Goggins -- Shield and Justified (he has chosen his roles well) Same with Tim Oly - Deadwood and Justified ... Trend to Justified being like the new verison of the Shield with how well it is written. If you go with current

 

Larry Hagman Dallas and Jeanie ... I would choose him as all time with IMO the most recognizable charachter for a TV drama in JR Ewing

[OldMaid 1,838]

James Purefoy - Rome, The Following

 

Connie Britton - Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story, Nashville

 

Hayden Pantettiere - Guiding Light, Heroes, Nashville
