So I saw this vid of Ashley Greene and Olivia Wilde making out on my tumblr dash. I can't remember where I saw the trailer for this movie ("Butter"), but I didn't realize Ashley Greene was in it, and that the movie would have Olivia Wilde seducing her. I mean, I don't think its a major plot point, but like how do you not put that in the trailer? That's gold right there! Also, Ashley Greene is supposed to be Phil Dunphy and Jenny Garner's daughter? I guess Ashley could be playing a teen, and I guess Haley on Modern Family is 18 or thereabouts, so I could believe him as her father, but Garner is too young/Greene too old to play mother and daughter.

So I actually haven't seen any of the leaked early pilots yet, because apparently I've been replaced by a doppleganger. clevemire mentioned Autumn Reeser looking all hot in the pilot for Last Resort (which also includes Jessy Schram, Dichen Lachman, and some Aussie chick). I always like seeing her in stuff. Which brings me to my Top 4 (I couldn't figure out a 5th) favorite TV actresses who've done a bunch of guest spots, sometimes being a recurring character or one of the secondary credited cast members, but never the starring role:

1) Amy Acker (hey, this is the second list I've put her on in as many days!)
2) Autumn Reeser
3) Larisa Oleynik
4) Alona Tal

I dunno, I just get particularly egg-cited when they show up on a show, even in a guest capacity. Of course, my list title is inaccurate, because Larisa is Alex Mack, so she was the star of that show being the title character, but old shows on Nick don't count! But I would say Winifred Burkle and Taylor Townsend were "secondary" characters on Angel and the OC, respectively.

Wasn't Alona Tal the star of some Israeli show too?

I don't think she was the star per se, from what I can tell it was an ensemble show, but she could have been the female lead. But foreign shows don't count! Well, maybe some of the more highly regarded British, Australian, or Canadian shows.

Wow, Alex Mack looks really good. The others are kinda generic/meh so I can see why they don't seem to land leads. Also, #4 is Liri (also not a starring role, hah)!

Yeah, Alex Mack has prolly been my longest-lasting TV crush. I mean, there have been girls who've came and went over the years, but Larisa has always been up there. So as I said, I'm always glad to see her in stuff nowadays (most recently in Pretty Little Liars!)
