hey, it's that guy!

Funny the things you can spot when re-watching old shows, things you'd never noticed first time round, or had no reason to notice at the time but which take on a different meaning with hindsight. I put on a random episode of Judge John Deed last night (you know, just for the smiley twinkliness of Martin Shaw), and who should show up in it but Peter Capaldi as a corrupt politician (he’s cornered the market there) and a baby Santiago Cabrera, in almost his first ever role, as a young male prostitute giving evidence against him.



I think I knew, at the back of my head, that they'd both been in the show at some point, but hadn't realised they were in the same episode, facing each other across the courtroom.

I wonder if they remembered each other when they worked together again, years later, as fellow regulars on The Musketeers...

Most old programmes are watched with Imdb on the browser for that very reason :) It's quite astonishing sometimes.
Even 'new' (as in just a few years old) progammes can pop up faces which make you look twice and reach for the computer.
