So, watching The Mentalist, and not only do I see Eric Winter (Ben Talbot), but another face caught my eye...and it turned out to be Luis Moncada, better known on ML as "Huerta."

Yeah, Eric had a decent role on The Mentalist, and his last name was O'Lofflin...or O'Loughlin...it was pronounced like FFs. We thought that was pretty funny. Since I have to admit that we watch a lot of CBS we see just about every Moonlight guest star and Jason and Eric.

It does seem like, once you get hired, even in a very minor role, on CBS, you get hired again and again.

(Heaven knows Jordan has been on just about every CBS show out there!)

I missed this ep when it was originally shown, but caught it last night. Too bad they killed Craig off, but having him come back they did was a clever way for Grace to finally come to terms with her relationship with him. I didn't make the Huerta connection, though. Good catch, Lucky.

Ooops. I forgot Jordan. And I've seen Guillermo a few times too. That Huerta guy is around a lot also. CBS must own USA since they all guest on USA shows. And Taryn was on Burn Notice last night.

Man, the ML cast was just full of CBS regulars...watching some reruns and scored a double sighting.

First, "Chemma Tejada" was on CSI: New York, playing a villainous loan shark. Then the next show started, and old ep of Cold Case, and lo and behold, our friend Patrick Fischler appeared as a Korean War era publisher of a cheesy pinup magazine.

I was just flipping through the channels and Fayed is on CSINY.

Nick Tarabay, who played the assassin in SB, has a continuing role on "Believe". I think last night was his third episode. It's essentially the same sort of role - bad guy trying to find someone.

I'm watching an old episode of Criminal Minds, maybe season 2, and not only do I see Cynthia (who had an occasional recurring role, until her character got killed), but also Lee Jay Spalding.

It's an ML two-fer!
