Before landing a job with Pawnee’s Parks Department in Parks and Recreation, Aziz Ansari worked At Sacred Heart Hospital in four episodes of Scrubs!

Thanks for the submission, seng-a-song!

Chris Pratt is best known for his role as Andy Dwyer (and Bert Macklin: FBI) on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, but moving to Pawnee he took a keyboard to the face courtesy of James McAvoy (Atonement, Chronicles of Narnia, X-Men: First Class) in the Angelina Jolie-helmed action movie Wanted

Thanks, here-is-the-place!

Adam Scott’s appearance on Boy Meets World as bully Griff Hawkins is fairly well known…it was even one of the first posts on this blog. HOWEVER, before he was introduced as Griff, he appeared with long hair as “Senior” in a season 2 episode titled “Band on the Run” where he talked to Cory briefly.

Thanks, asocialmodernsymbol!

Nick Offerman is best known for his current role as Ron [Fucking] Swanson on NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Megan Mullally is best known for her former role as Karen Walker on NBC’s Will & Grace. But if you thought that Mullally’s reoccuring role as Tammy 2 on Parks and Recreation was the first time this real-life couple appeared together on screen (or on an NBC show), think again. Back in 2001 Offerman appeared as a plumber in Will & Grace’s fourth season who Karen kisses because Stan wants her to sleep with other people. 

Bonus fun fact: Offerman and Mullally wed two years after this episode aired. Adorable!

Thanks, wattshappening

Here we have a much younger, less gray, Jim O’Heir (Jerry from Parks and Recreation) in the Thanksgiving episode of Third Rock from the Sun. That angry face is due to the fact that he’s about to lose all his money to Joseph Gordon Levitt, in case you were wondering.

Another winner, groeneinkt!

Television writer/producer Michael Schur is probably best known face-wise for his role as Dwight’s cousin Mose Schrute on The Office, and brain-wise he’s best known as the creator of NBC’s very funny Parks and Recreation and as a writer/producer of The Office, but back in 2007 he appeared as “Paul” in a season 4 episode of The O.C. Not that strange considering his wife J.J. Philbin (daughter of Regis Philbin) was a writer on the show at the time.

Thanks for the submission, softastic!

Before becoming Ron F-ing Swanson, Nick Offerman played a redneck who held a girl for ransom on an episode of 24. We assume the ransom was for pieces of gold, but he’s not going to be a miser about it.

Thanks, Nermoe!

WOW. Paula Pell, who is best known for her work as a writer on Saturday Night Live (for SEVENTEEN SEASONS!) and as Pete Hornberger’s wife Paula on 30 Rock (bottom) is the very same actress who plays the dreaded matriarch of the Swanson family, Tammy 0, in Parks and Recreation

Excellent submission, kath-ryn! This LITerally made our jaws drop.

Jim O’Heir, who plays the lovable punching bag Garry “Jerry” Gergich on Parks and Recreation, appeared as Jonah Hill’s father in the 2006 comedy Accepted. I would pay large sums of money ($20) to watch a movie that is nothing but O’Heir giving Jonah Hill the “birds and the bees” talk. Make it happen, Hollywood. You can’t afford to pass up my semi-hard earned money.

We post things that we don’t post on Tumblr! Things that are important! Like Paul Rudd on Parks and Recreation tonight!

Before becoming Pawnee City Manager Chris Traeger on Parks and Recreation, Rob Lowe appeared briefly as Young Number Two in Austin Powers International Man of Mystery. This is LITerally the best thing we’ve heard all morning.

Amy Poehler, best known for her roles on Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation, played Hilary, the head R.A., in two episodes of Undeclared.

Treat yo self to this famous face! She’s one of our favorite parts of Parks and Recreation as Donna but Retta was also spotted as a store clerk in a season four episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

Amazing submission, brbchrisevans!

It is so hard to see such an adorable face looking like this! It’s Adam Scott from Parks and Recreation, Party Down and Step Brothers in Hellraiser: Bloodline back in 1996.

Great find, carboncopykiller!
