EastKingStar 03/26/18 10:34:24 PM #1:	Now I don't mean people that might have been in a movie or two, like Chandler... or anyone from Friends... Rather people who were known as TV actors then transitioned to become actual movie stars that everyone knows. I think of two, and both of them came from the same show! John Goodman and George Clooney. A lot of people recognize Clooney as the original lead of ER, but he actually got his start as Roseanne's boss in the early episodes. --- Son of a Biscuit <cite>EastKingStar posted [p:898555235] in TV actors ...
