The things in my brain

Even though I have to watch a movie several times before I can remember quotes from it, I apparently have a talent of remembering what movies/TV shows people have been in. It gets on the husband’s nerves when we’re watching TV and I feel the need to inform him of every character the actors have previously played.

Last night, we were watching The Twilight Zone. I had to force myself not to tell him that the guy playing Grady Finch was Jeremy Sisto, who played Elton in Clueless and was also in The 60s TV movie with Julia Stiles (who was in my favorite teen movie ever) and that the girl playing his lawyer was Alicia Witt who was in Mr. Holland’s Opus and played Zoey on Cybill Shepherd’s show Cybill, which I never actually watched and so I don’t know why I know that except that I remember her because she looks like my cousin’s wife.
