I've noticed at TV Tome that alot of the actors were reused.

The actor of Alderman Fred Davis was the uncle in There's No Bottom To The Bottle.

Ta-Tanisha (some actress) was reused I think 3 times as 3 different characters.

Sweet Daddy's main girl, Savannah (in one episode) the actress for Savannah was reused again as another character in Florida's Favorite Passenger.

Were the producers too cheap to find OTHER actors and actresses for the guest spots?

Yeah it didn't make sense. Lou Gossett was Thelma Boyfriend in season 2 and Florida's Brother in season 3.

Eww...

The woman who played Savannah in thats episode where Sweet Daddy wanted JJ to paint her, she sorta looked different in Florida's Favorite Passenger.

But still...:rolleyes:

Then Hal Williams returned in season 6 as the father of one of J.J's art students

The actor who portrayed none other than Sweet Daddy himself appeared as a nightclub manager on one particular episode. What's even more strange is that he had already appeared as "Sweets" in the episode with Savannah, and would go on to appear as "Sweets" later in the series!

I guess they were I]really[/I counting on us not paying attention on that one!
