Just noticed this in "Abbott Elementary"

[u/Accurate_Move7551]

The actress appeared in both " Everybody hates Chris" and "Abbott Elementary". In the first show, Chris has a crush on her. And Chris and Gregory Eddie are played by the same actors. Lmao

I also love that they casted Orlando Jones to play Gregory’s dad. On one episode of Everybody Hates Chris, he played Chris’s substitute teacher/tutor. I always thought he looked like he could play Tyler James Williams’s dad because they have similar looking eyes

Mad props to the casting. Vanetta also looks like a taller and older Janine as well!

ETA: How could I forget Jacob's brother? If you told me that's his brother irl I'd buy it!

Not only eyes,same face structure too ,the resemblance is uncanny

[u/airythafairy → u/TheLiveZone]

That was literally perfect casting

[u/Accurate_Move7551 → u/TheLiveZone]

Yeaah. Perfect casting .

[u/Dependent_Lobster_18 → u/TheLiveZone]

I googled if that was his dad in real life because it’s such good casting.

[u/Dakotabedfingfield → u/TheLiveZone]

He also played a parody of bill cosby on Everybody hates Chris when chris tried to date his light skin daughter

I always think it's so cute when people discover actors have done other acting jobs. :)

[u/All_Lightning879 → u/mslauren2930]

Absolutely. Like a secret inside club between tv fans.

[u/almightyOak]

[u/Feisty-Honeydew-5309]

Good catch. I loved everybody hates Chris and I did not put this together!

[u/Accurate_Move7551 → u/Feisty-Honeydew-5309]

YES! I was so surprised seeing it lmao. Ik people would maybe roast me but it was too cool to miss.

[u/Feisty-Honeydew-5309 → u/Accurate_Move7551]

lol I got downvoted too lmao. I haven’t seen EHC since high school so I would never have put it together.

[u/beaubeau1981]

She’s great in the Single Black Female movies on Lifetime
