I know some people on here are hardcore BTVS/ATS fans, and will have seen pretty much anything and everything that the actors have starred in since/before the shows. However, some people have not, and I thought it might be kinda cool to note down as many other things are possible that people have been in, so that anyone who's interested can check it out.

I think the best way to do it would be for you to only write down the things you've actually seen, for instance, I know SMG is in The Grudge, but I've never actually seen it, so I won't write it down.

That way more people will be able to participate. Also, I'm not going to write many down myself, for the same reason.

David Boreanaz
Bones

James Marsters
House On Haunted Hill (1999)

Alyson Hannigan
American Pie

Alyson Hannigan:
Date Movie (Pretty crappy. I tried to watch it twice and I failed.)
My Stepmother is An Alien (This is actually a pretty cool movie.)
Dead Man on Campus (Interesting movie, but a bit weird. Jason Segel (Marshall from HIMYM) stars in it as well.)

Eliza Dushku:
True Lies
Dollhouse (One of my favorite shows ever!)
Tru Calling

Sarah Michelle Gellar:
The Grudge and The Grudge 2 (Both movies are pretty cool!)
Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2


I also saw Emma Caufield in Monk a few days ago.

Anthony Stewart Head
Free Agents

...and that's it. 😀
 
Anthony Stewart Head: Merlin (love that show!!) He was also in Little Britain, briefly in Sweeny Todd and The Inbetweeners Film. He is also set to star in The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep - that's one to look out for, for sure!!!

Mercedes Mcnab was in the Episode "Fresh Blood" In Season 3 Episode 7 of Supernatural

🙂
 
Additional for Anthony Stewart Head, and some comments on what has already been mentioned.

Free Agents - both British and American versions. British version was vulgar but funny. American version is still finding its footing but better with every episode.

Merlin - this is just an outstanding show with fantastic acting, writing, and production values. It just started its 4th series in Britain and should come to SyFy in America next year. Well worth watching. I can't recommend it more highly.

Little Britain - very funny comedy "skit" show.

Manchild - British "sex in the city" comedy about men. A bit boring, but Anthony's really good in it.

The Invisibles - British series about a group of has-been thieves, much more enjoyable than it sounds. Anthony is terrific and very non-Giles - he plays a character who is wound pretty tight and often flies off the handle.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. Bizarre and gory rock opera, but Anthony's singing voice is on full display. The man has some pipes.

Lots of one-off guest appearances, including Spooks, Dr. Who, Hotel Babylon, NYPD Blue, Highlander, and quite a few shows that would mostly only be known in Britain (of which I've seen most, so if you want more specific recommendations let me know).

VR5 - short-lived sci-fi American show. The show was okay; ASH was terrific. (Pre-BtVS)

Lots of stuff you can skip and therefore I'll skip. Check IMDB if interested. 🙂 (Although, for the record, I've seen everything he's been in that I can possibly get my hands on, including some pretty hard-to-find stuff.)

I'm intrigued! Which of my evaluations did you not agree with? (And, let's face it, the taste in men part is the important part anyway. 🙂 )

Well, I love Merlin but I think it's cheesy and average. But I have this weakness for anything Arthurian legend. I think Manchild is hilarious even though the feminist inside tells me not to. XP I thought the British Free Agents was brilliant and I loved the vulgarity. The only redeeming feature in the US version is Anthony Head and his brightly coloured clothing. I love Repo do death even though it's terrible and I think Little Britain is the worst sketch show ever made, except for the sketches with Sebastian and the PM. I tried to watch full episodes, but now I just skip to those scenes.

Ah. Yes, difference of opinion. I think it's brilliant. And its international popularity is not something we can argue with. 🙂

I'm going to rewatch both shows. In fairness, I think I spaced out when Anthony wasn't on screen.

I think we agree here. I've watched it twice, and will definitely watch it a few more times.

I think Little Britain is the worst sketch show ever made, except for the sketches with Sebastian and the PM. I tried to watch full episodes, but now I just skip to those scenes.

Ah. I confess it's the only sketch show I've ever seen. I actually don't watch much television so perhaps I'm not in much of a position to comment. I did find myself skipping through some of the skits ("computer says no").

I don't think popularity is ever an indication of quality. Look at Twilight and Two and a Half Men... ;) I've seen Repo probably 15 times by now. I was a little obsessed. :D
