SO many of the starkid actors have been in emergency dramas omg

[@whatcanidooo]

I think it’s just where a lot of like e list actors go

[@SabsWhyNot]

Procedural cop shows seem to be a very common early job for many successful actors.

[@cyanuwu1864]

i mean, id say its easy to get hired there since those shows need a lot of actors at all times for victims, witnesses and whatever cause of the emergency it is, different set for each episode

[@julietlabella]

the way I screamed when me and my family were watching 911 and JEFF FUCKING BLIM appeared on screen

[@KimonoSuki]

to be fair, it's the most popular genre of TV by far, and there's 10 million of them

[@FrenkTheJoy]

So "Royalties" is basically just "Team Starkid for adultier adults and also John Stamos is there"?

[@Alicat2911]

And also there's a lot of glee cast members too. Really its just all of Darren's friends making weird songs
