Due to its long episode running time (1+ hour each) I've slowly been catching up on the excellent modern war TV mini series Generation Kill. It originally aired about 8 months ago and during that time I've watched quite a few other shows. This has lead to not one, but two instances where an actor I originally saw in Generation Kill is more familiar to me from another series which I'd started watching after GK. So when I watch a new GK episode I have an odd mix of deja vu and the feeling of recognising someone but not being able to remember where from (is there a word for that?).The following are two actors who I originally saw in Generation Kill back in July of 2008 but have since become more familiar through other shows, namely The Mentalist and True Blood.
Example 1 (Generation Kill vs True Blood): Alexander Skarsgård
Sgt. Brad “Iceman” Colbert from Generation Kill
Eric “King of the vampires” Northman from True Blood
Example 2 (Generation Kill vs The Mentalist vs Sarah Connor Chronicles)
