Author:

William Petersen, best known as Gil Grissom in CBS's procedural smash "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," was never a prolific screen actor. Deadline.com once called him "one of those highly selective actors who never wore out his welcome."

He seemed to take that to extremes with "CSI." He was so concerned with wearing out his welcome that he left the show early, and then mostly dropped out of the screen biz in favor of theatrical acting back in Chicago, where he got his start.

New Amsterdam, on NBC

The doctors and nurses at America’s oldest public hospital fight money-hungry investors to return their understaffed and underfunded hospital to its former glory. This hit medical drama stars Ryan Eggold, Tyler Labine and Janet Montgomery.

No, but Bryce Dallas Howard thanks you for asking.

Jessica Chastain, the willowy, red-haired star best known for her Oscar-nominated turns in "Zero Dark Thirty" (2012) and "The Help" (2011), does share a few physical (and career) similarities with Julia Roberts, best known for being Julia Roberts.

However, she shares more similarities with "Jurassic World" (2015) star Bryce Dallas Howard, and I'm not the only one to point it out.
