Internet Movie Database: When You Can't Think of the Name!

Imagine this: It's Friday night, you're chillaxin with your friends, and you all sat down to watch that new movie you got at Redbox. You're so excited to watch (fill in the actor's or actress's name), and the movie is going really smoothly, and then suddenly, you can't enjoy the movie anymore.

There is that one side character that looks ridiculously familiar but you can't for the life of you remember where you know them from. You have to know who that other actor is, and what TV show or movie you have seen them in previously, or you won't be able to enjoy the rest of the movie!

Internet Movie Database to the rescue! This site is so awesome. It offers photos, upcoming movie trailers, suggestions, and entertainment news. But, that isn't the best part. It also gives you full filmographies of pretty much every writer, actor, director, or editor in Hollywood and elsewhere. You can also search by the movie's name, and it will give you all the people involved with it.

When your one friend who knows all the actors just can't put his/her finger on it, jump onto the Internet or pull out your smart phone, and bounce over to IMDb.

P.S. If you already know about IMDb, please disregard the above scenario. I figured some might not know about this cool database, but if I am mistaken, and you all knew about it already, just let me know =D
