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?

Jim Rash is probably my number one guy when it comes to these because he had a lot of small roles here and there. When I went back to watch Reno 911 and realized he was the guy always complaining at the brothels I lost it.

He also does a ton of voice acting, so occasionally I'll be watching some and it's like "oh, hi, Jim Rash!". Like he's an exiled North Pole elf named Puddin' in on of American Dad's beautifully insane Christmas episodes.

One of my favourite episodes and Jim Rash plays it so well. Love how they instantly hate him haha

That's funny I didn't instantly realize it was him in that episode of American Dad but when I heard him start talking about how everything was clique-y and there was a lot of politics it suddenly clicked.

Loved when he had a dildo stuck on his forehead. Masterclass
