Wait, he was in what?!

5 Actors You Didn't Recognize In Other Roles

If there was a job opening in professional TV show binging and avid moviegoing, I would be the first in line to apply. I would shamelessly hand over my resumé and under the skill set, detail my ability to watch all 12 seasons of "Supernatural" in two months while balancing school and a retail job.

Time and time again, I come across actors in multiple roles that blow me out of the water and leave my mouth agape for days. I’m left wondering how I could’ve missed that the same actor was in another movie I saw.

Honestly, the power of theatre is not a force to be reckoned with.

Here are 5 actors you probably didn't recognize in another role:

1. Jonathan Groff


Groff goes from singing every sentence in "Glee" to a dark wicked FBI agent who dwells into the minds of America’s most notorious serial killers. I guess broadway never worked out for Jesse after all.

2. Peter Dinklage


Our beloved Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones" had a role in the Christmas classic "Elf" as a children’s author. Tyrion found his true calling in writing kiddie books instead.

3. Thomas Brodie-Sangster



Sangster plays prophet Jojen Reed who helped Bran realize his warg powers in "Game of Thrones" and Newt in "Maze Runner." One thing’s for sure, Sangster has a knack for picking characters who are loyal.

4. Josh Hutcherson

Hutcherson went from playing Jess in the children’s film "Bridge to Terabithia" (cue the tears), to the biggest role we all know him in, Peeta in "Hunger Games."

5. Noel Fisher


OK, for all my "Shameless" fans out there, you will understand why I say the words Mickey Milkovich and vampire do NOT go together. Nevertheless, Fisher went from playing Vladimir, one of the many people who aided the Cullens against the Volturi, to Ian’s favorite loverboy on "Shameless." Honestly, I kind of wish I can unsee this one.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
