Nathan Fillion was in Slither with Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks was in Invincible was Mark Wahlberg

T.K. Said...

Summer Glau was Dollhouse, with Amy Acker (also in an episode of Angel--"Waiting in the Wings")

Amy Acker, who was on Alias. Greg Grunberg was on Alias (interestingly enough, he was written out early in the fifth season, so he and Amy didn't get to interact much, if at all). It's technical, since they were not in the same episode, you need someone who was. So I think you have to stick Jennifer Garner in there.

He was on Felicity with Amy Jo Johnson.

Nicole Cook Said...

Summer Glau was in the TV series "Firefly" with Jewel Staite, who was in the Nickelodeon series "Space Cases" with Walter Jones, who played the Black Ranger in the original Power Rangers.

SHORTEST ONE! She wins!

Actually, I was thinking about this...


Summer Glau was on Angel with David Borenaz ("Waiting in the Wings," 4th Season)

David Borenaz was on Buffy with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Walter Jones was in an episode of Buffy.

OR


Glau was in Firefly with Nathan Fillion.

He was on Buffy with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Walter Jones was in an episode of Buffy.

As zapbranagin said...

Summer was in Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku.

Eliza Dushku was in Buffy with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Walter Jones was in an episode of Buffy. It's technical, since they were not in the same episode, you need someone who was.

Rumor is that Summer Glau auditioned for Alyssa in PRWF but lost to Sandra McCoy, who after being selected was replaced by an actress whom Koichi Sakamoto's wife could stunt double. I did not know this. Same thing I heard about Jessica Rey (Kendall).

Someone mentioned Michelle Trachtenberg, that's easy. She was in an episode of Space Cases with Walter Jones, who was the Black Ranger.

Bulk & Skull Trend

Covering the trends of Bulk & Skull-like characters.

Bulk & Skull
Unlike Zyuranger of Super Sentai, the source footage of the first season of MMPR, MMPR had Bulk and Skull, two characters who don't know the Rangers' true identities and serve as comic relief. In the early seasons, not many of the Rangers served as comic relief. Arguably, they did grow from being just punks and wannabe thugs. Bulk & Skull sought the Rangers' identities and when they founded it out, they saved them and lost their memories. In PRiS, they learned them again (new team) and stood up to evil again. Skull didn't appear in the pilot, only Bulk did, unnamed and not part of the main cast yet.


Profesor Phenomenus
This scientist was introduced in season 6 'In Space,' and when Skull's actor Jason Narvy left in the first episode of season 7 and Bulk left in season 7, along with Phenomenus. Phenomenus served as their boss and comic relief as well. The next season absent of Bulk & Skull, they were not replaced and Joel the Green Ranger served as the comic relief. For Time Force, there was Circuit and Trip sometimes. Wild Force had Max and Danny, Blue and Black Rangers and sometimes even Cole the Red Ranger, so there were no Bulk & Skull-like characters.


Cassidy and Devon
Cassidy and Devon were obvious as Bulk and Skull antagonists even though they did not look or act like them. Cassidy is shallow, self-absorbed, and oblivious, she was antagonistic to the Dino Thunder Rangers. She did date Ethan and grow as a character, she found out the Rangers' identities and decided to keep it a secret. Devon was her conscience and they eventually ended up together.

Piggy and Boom
Even though they were not a duo, they served as comic relief in different spots. Boom was inside SPD headquarters and Piggy outside. Boom was a wannabe Ranger and Piggy was the informant that betrays them and then redeems himself. I think it was an error to have two castmembers that were not Rangers because the crew didn't have enough budget for the sixth Ranger, what with Doggie and Kat and so many Rangers ended up in SPD.

Toby and Phineas
As I have mentioned before, the actors who played Piggy and Boom came back for Mystic Force but flipped over. Barnie Duncan had makeup to be Piggy, but now was without it. Kelson Henderson put on the makeup as Phineas. They served as comic relief in different ways, Phineas became central to the plot as he took Nick/Bowen to the human world. Toby did solve the puzzle of the Dragon Heart.

Norg
Norg served as his own comic relief, by himself, played Kelson Henderson.


Spike (Power Rangers Samurai)
First called Skinny Mack, now called Spike.
