Not necessarily their own but leading roles. Older actors who used to be big but not so much now. Examples: Kevin Bacon in 'The Following' . Matthew Mcconoughhey in True detective, Billy bob Thornton in Fargo. Any other examples I'm missing? But yeah I noticed it recently .

Robin Williams back doing sitcoms. He's on The Crazy Ones now. And word has it that his co-star from Mork and Mindy is going to appear on it. And don't forget Ed Harris! He's on Modern Family. You might remember him as Al Bundy from Married With Children.


And my hubby and I both LOVE The Following. Not to mention Orlando Jones on Sleepy Hollow when the second season comes out.

Even Micheal J Fox had his own show recently. It's strange old actors who used to be getting their chance headlining new tv shows. It's kinda cool but its all happening now.

Me too! Mondays episode looks intense! I tried starting a following thread but it didn't take off. I wouldn't like it as much without Kevin Bacon. It's still a good show and it mixes it up nicely but it's still basically the same thing over and over. Which kinda annoys me. I hope now that's its renwed for season 3 then that's it. It should have ended with the first season. I love this show, a huge fan. But it needs to end.

Yeah I remember waking up to married with children on the tele quite a few times.

It is Ed O'Neill not Ed Harris.
