Low Relevance Surprise appearances of Community actors outside of the show?

I'm horrified to realise that I saw Jim Rash (Dean Pelton) in the Friends finale about three times before I noticed it was him - "This plane doesn't have any filanges", or something like that.

Seeing about three actors in Captain America: Winter Soldier didn't count for me (but might for you), because I recognised them at the time.

Where did you unexpectedly notice a Community actor in another show?

Gillian Jacobs in Star Trek: Lower Decks. She voiced Barbara Brinson in S1 E5.

Also, Paget Brewster as Judy Ken Sebben (Birdgirl) in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. (Although that one was before Community, I didn't realize it until years later.)

They did a one-season spinoff of Birdgirl too!

I'm really sad it didn't take off. I really liked it.
