When I saw the title of your post my first guesses were Tom Hanks in Bosum Buddies, and Bruce Willis in Moonlighting. And yes, I watched both those shows in their orignal runs. I am that old, yo.

Would Hilary Swank fit into your group? She did a lot of movies and TV in her early years, but I didn’t notice her much until she did 90210. After that, she hit the big time.

Samantha : Yeah, it doesn’t seem to happen so often with actors, or maybe I’ve not noticed quite so much. But yes, I agree, hurrah for being able to see more work from them.

It could be interesting to look a bit more into it and see if opinions vary a lot on whether someone is more suited to TV or movies,

Dave: There are so many actresses who made a the transition to the big screen with a couple of good films, only find themselves back on the small screen in short time. Huffman is one of them. Yay for us, really, that we get to see much more of these actresses because of teevee — including the ones who, once they reached a certain age (Kyra Sedgwick for example) and became “less desireable” for film roles — their work gets better and better.

I had no idea that Kate Winslet was on a kid’s show at one time.

I can’t remember how good she was in it, though I might have to have a hunt and see if I can find it on DVD anywhere.

I agree about Marisa Tomei, she is much better than she gets credit for. Some reviewers were tipping her for awards nominations last year, but maybe this year will see something coming her way.

Another actress who came to mind was Felicity Huffman, but she’s not done as much in the way of big movies yet, even if she did get an Oscar nomination for Transamerica.
