We assumed Mae Whitman was a relatively unknown actress when she appeared as Ann “Her?” Veal on Arrested Development, but as this is now the fourth time she’s appeared on ISAFF and IMDB lists an impressive 95 titles to her name, we’ve got no choice but to upgrade her from “Her?” to “Oh, her!”. Because she’s a wonderful actress and you should know who she is, especially after her roles in Scott Pilgrim and Parenthood. Anyway, here’s little Mae as the president’s daughter in 1996’s Independence Day.
Will Arnett (known for Arrested Development, Up All Night, 30 Rock, his amazing voice, being one half of the greatest couple ever) on a season 4 (around 2002) episode of Law and Order:SVU. In the episode he plays a travel agent who sets up international sex tours for pedophiles. I can’t tell what’s worse, that character or the blonde hair (not being serious, of course).
Michael Cera played a diabolical little robot kid in one of the later seasons of La Femme Nikita. We can only guess he was a really awkward one at that.
Bob Odenkirk, best known for his work on Mr. Showalongside David Cross (bottom) or as Jesse and Walt’s lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad (middle), but in one episode of Arrested Development, he made a brief appearance Tobias and Lindsey’s marriage counselor (top). I wonder if he had any connections who helped him score that part…
Hey, Michael Jackson cover song. Arrested Development’sTonyHale wearing a diamond-studded glove where his hook should be and Scrub’sDonald Faison appeared in the video for Fall Out Boy’s cover of “Beat It.”
Before they worked together on Arrested Development, Alia Shawkat (Maeby Funke) and Mae Whitman (Ann Veal, also known as Her? and Egg) appeared in the 2001 ABC Family show State of Grace as Hannah Rayburn and Grace McKee, respectively.
Will Arnett appeared as an FBI agent for a few episodes during the third season of The Sopranos. Yeah, like the guy in the $3,200 uniform is going to solve that crime. COME ON!
Remember Avatar: The Last Airbender (and no, not the stunningly terrible M. Night Shyamalon movie)? Did you ever notice that Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The Patriot) voiced Admiral Zhao? How about Mae Whitman (Arrested Development, Parenthood) voicing Katara? Well, now you know.
Thanks to lollercoaster for a really awesome submission!
The Big Bang Theory’s Simon Helberg showed up in an episode of Arrested Development where he worked for Maeby at the movie studio by writing her papers for her while she’s hard at work on the films.
Tony Hale is best known for his role as Buster Bluth on Arrested Development, but before that he was in a Volkswagen commercial in which he danced to Styx’s “Mr Roboto” in the car.
“Her?” Don’t recognize this lady? Perhaps that’s because she played the unforgettably forgettable Ann Veal in Arrested Development. Or because she donned layers of makeup as Roxy Richter in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Or maybe you just don’t watch her as Amber Holt (no relation to Steve Holt) on Parenthood. Whatever your reason is, we’re rendering it moot now because ~now you know~ that this is Mae Whitman in an episode of Friends titled, “The One Where Rachel Quits”.
David Cross, who’s been in about a zillion things but is best known as the world’s only analrapist, Tobias Fünke, was also a traffic council-member suffering from an ice cream cake-deprived birthday on a recent episode of Modern Family.
Excellent find and perfect submission from Xia, thank you!
Jim Rash is best recognized for his flamboyant methods of entering and exiting the study room as Dean Pelton on Community, but an eagle-eyed Redditor spotted him in the top left of this photo of the Magician’s Alliance from Arrested Development.
Remember all those Olsen twins movies that came out in the late 90s and early 2000s? [Editor’s Note: If you dont, shame on you!] Check out a young, pre-Arrested DevelopmentMichael Cera in Switching Goals!
