Named, for obscure reasons, after an insurance company, "The Chittendens" shows actors in four different projections behaving in ways that seem comically bizarre at first.

After the gig when Bret and Jemaine are at the bar, a "semi-professional" actor named Ben introduces himself.

Then, a few years ago, he saw an episode of "Fall Guy" that featured an actor with Down's syndrome named Jason Kingsley.

Under pressure to demonstrate their anti-Communist bona fides in order to keep working, screenwriters, actors, directors and others named friends and colleagues.

Years later, an actor named John Stevenson used Brodie's name for his movie stage name.

In 1750, Catherine Charke married an actor named John Harman, despite Charlotte's aversion to him.

While with Universal, she would meet a young actor (and assistant director-gopher-scenariowriter) named Wallace Reid.

She briefly dated an up-and-coming, but still largely unknown, actor named Anthony Quinn.

At one point in "Kubrick" the faux director even mentions some actor named John Malkovich as a potential cast member.

That was because a young actor named John Malkovich, poised for international stardom, took a flashy part and ran with it at warp speed.
