So I mention to Buzz that I'm going to be watching Nightbreed for my 30 Days of Horror, and also comment on how weird it is that Aaron Boone is also the same guy that played Joe Kane in The Program.  Buzz doesn't believe me, because he thought the 'the guy that played Aaron Boone was way too old to be the same guy that played Joe Kane'. (Craig Sheffer was 30 when he played Aaron Boone and 33 when he played Joe Kane)

This starts the conversation about actors who were way older than the role they were playing, which of course means I started a list.
