Yep. It's long time game for me when viewing old films, TV Shows, ETC. It's cool to see someone you think you're seeing for the first time has been in stuff you've seen before. It's also fun to see who's left alive, the order people died on a show or film.

Discovered Michael Callan is still alive. Never knew he was the original Broadway Riff in West Side Story.

I do, for both reasons.

The nice thing is, it's always a pleasant surprise when you're assuming older actors are probably dead, and find out they're still alive, but not a shock when they actually are dead.

Although, there is the occasional disappointment of finding that a young actor had passed away when they were still young.

That, -and if they're still alive and old as dirt, -like me, -I cruelly like to see how they've aged. Sometimes it's a real shocker....
