retro recognition

When you re watch an old tv episode or film and recognise someone who you now know as a famous person/character.

Oh my God it's Oberyn Martell in Buffy the vampire slayer, and he looks so young!

Retro recognition can also be pretty much guaranteed by watchingt any old episode of tales from the crypt.
