The Cast Showoff	comment	Some screen actors have talents other than acting—singing, dancing, what have younote Many, many actors learn singing and dancing to some degree at drama school—and the show they're in will want to make use of it at some point. In most cases, this doesn't derail the story (much), often leading to viewers exclaiming, "I didn't know [performer] could [sing/dance/whatever]!" However, it's not unheard of for the plot to stop dead just to allow such an actor (usually the lead) to show off. The line between this and Cast the Expert can be quite thin indeed. Contrast Irony As They Are Cast (in which an actor who is good at something [singing, dancing, etc] in real life has to play a character who is not good at whatever the talent is). Show-offy moments that center around brazenly exploiting star's beauty or sex appeal are usually classified as Fanservice.

The Cast Showoff / int_10550610	comment	The later seasons of Happy Days had a lot of Anson Williams [Potsie] breaking into song for various flimsy reasons. Granted, his character was a singer, but after a while it got blatant. The "Pumps Your Blood" song he nominally used to memorize the cardiovascular system for an anatomy test is a good (and catchy) example. The infamous Jumping the Shark episode was done in part because Henry Winkler was a good water-skiier.

The Cast Showoff / int_1b7f57d	comment	Good Luck Charlie has a talented cast who all get at least one chance to showoff. PJ is the guitarist for his band, and Jason Dolley plays the guitar in real-life as well as the piano. Spencer and Emmet both can dance and they have a dance-off in which they take turns serving each other. Teddy (Brigit Mendler) has a few chances to sing on the show, once for a talent show, a contest, and an audition for a school musical. Her friend Skylar does a duet with Teddy for the talent show, but they combine with PJ and Emmet's band and mash-up both songs and subsequentally win the talent show. Leigh-Allyn Baker appears for have professional dance training, and Amy Duncan tries to teach her family simple and complicated dance moves and routines in an episode when she wants them to do a song and dance number for her hospital's fundraiser. When they don't even try to duplicate what she just showed them, she asks, "what are you waiting for?" and Teddy says "10 years for dance lessons." Which may be a hint to Leigh-Allyn having dance training, or could just be a joke, or both. She even gets an applause track played after the more complicated part of her routine, probably pointing to the former.

While not a professional, Lauren Graham certainly has a good voice and (AFAIK) is very knowledgeable about music, which may have helped her character's endless witty references. Rory showed off her Spanish speaking in one episode while speaking to one of Emily's maids. In real life, Alexis Bledel is actually Latina. This also came up during interviews for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants; Bledel surprised fellow Latina actress America Ferrera when she spoke Spanish to an interviewer.

The Cast Showoff / int_1f818da5	comment	Several Channel Awesome contributors: Doug Walker is a very talented singer and has been known to show it off whenever possible. He gets extra points for being able to sing as both a Tenor and a Baritone. The First Year Anniversary Brawl opens with him singing a parody of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning," and it has an operatic quality. The Moulin Rouge! review he did with The Nostalgia Chick and Brentalfloss shows their singing talents. It also features an opening sung by Linkara. Hell, even Phelous, with his very unique Bass-Baritone sounding voice, shows off that he can sing. Parodied with Oancitizen who goes berserk at not being invited to sing in the review. And of course, the Nostalgia Critic's Les MisÃ©rables: MUSICAL REVIEW is all about this; it features Oancitizen, Paw Dugan, Linkara, Todd in the Shadows, and Maven (Elisa) showing off their singing chops. Inverted and parodied with Brent, who is normally a good singer, mocking Russel Crowe's singing from the film; he sounds terrible and everyone tries to avoid him because of it. It's Played for Laughs, of course. Let's not forget Rachel Tietz, who is an accomplished singer and guitarist, who gets to show off her chops in the Les MisÃ©rables review, as well as the review for The Last Airbender. Todd in the Shadows opens every episode with a piano cover of the song that he is reviewing. When reviewing an anime where characters would randomly switch between English and Spanish for no clear reason, Bennett the Sage shouted in mock horror "Have the Mexicans taken over the world? Oh God, why didn't I listen to Fox News when I had the chance!" in perfect Spanish. The Nostalgia Chick has a great voice and shows this off whenever she can as well. The X-Men review has her singing a parody of "Candle in the Wind". Linkara as well has shown his Sinatra-esque singing talents on occasion, not least with the character of Harvey Finevoice. This is lampshaded in his review of Treehouse of Horror #2, where he sings "A Policeman's Lot" (which Sideshow Bob does in the comic), and has this to say... And his abilities with tongue twisters. Marzgurl is fluent in Japanese, and really shows it off in Suburban Knights. Brows Held High is Oancitizen saying "I have an education in film and theater," but he also dedicated an entire episode to showing off his singing voice by singing his review of The Man Who Fell to Earth to the tune of David Bowie. Similarly to MarzGurl, he can also speak Dutch. Hilariously parodied in To Boldly Flee in a scene in which The Nostalgia Chick is about to sing a song to distract one of the main villains and a group of Mooks. Oancitizen desperately wants to join in to fulfill this trope, but since he's posing as a character already identified as The Speechless, doing so would blow their cover. During the ensuing sequence, the Chick has to physically wrest a microphone from him at several points to keep him from trying to sing (and at one point, the villain himself does so unintentionally); by the end of the song, Oancitizen has had enough and sings the final line, prompting this line from the villain after he realizes he's been had. Suburban Knights showcases Orlando's complete dominance in terms of martial arts skills. Chad Rocco of Familiar Faces started out as a fan artist on deviantART, who drew obscure characters in the style of a completely different artist or show and challenged his viewers to figure out who they were. That collage of headshots that appears at the beginning of every video and looks like it was ripped from dozens of random fanart galleries? All his own work. Nash has his homebuilt Stratocaster, Laura, and the combo amp he built. He gets to show off not only his musical chops (which, while not excellent, aren't bad, either) but his technical know-how. As seen in the joint review of A Talking Cat!?! with The Nostalgia Critic, Allison Pregler aka Lupa is a pretty good singer too. (She and Critic sing a duet With Lyrics over the song's instrumental opening theme.) The Rap Critic, a rapper, and trained opera singer, has both rapped and sang opera in videos. The joint musical review of The Phantom of the Opera features not only Doug Walker's singing, but also Beth Elderkin of Shark Jumping, who is a trained singer.

His character has always been given an opportunity to use French, something that becomes an increasingly important plot point as the show progresses.

The only scene that required her to dance was cut from the episode for pacing reasons. It did, however, allow him to display former ballerina Summer Glau's dancing talents. Summer Glau is arguably a case of Cast the Expert — this was the very first acting role that she ever took, so when Joss hired her, she wasn't so much an actor who could also dance as a dancer who could also act. In hindsight, however, it becomes a straight example. J. August Richards shows off some juggling skills in "Offspring". The mere existence of Caritas, the demon karaoke bar safe-haven where no one is allowed to fight, seems tailor-made to let the cast show their talents or lack thereof. Unsurprisingly, except for Lorne, it's always the villains who get the best songs. Supposedly Caritas and Lorne was created solely because Andy Hallett was a gifted singer (though not professional until much later) and a friend of Joss Whedon. Christian Kane left the show after two seasons and worked on the film Secondhand Lions, for which he became a skilled fencer. When he returned, Lindsey was suddenly revealed to halve also spent his time away training to become a great swordsman and got a sword fight with Angel in "You're Welcome". An earlier example is in "Dead End", when Lindsay was in the Caritas where he sings a song for Lorne. The song in question was written by David Greenwalt and Christian Kane, the latter of whom provided his own vocals.

The Cast Showoff / int_22147342	comment	Arrow's Sara Lance, the show's Black Canary before she died and her sister Laurel, the true Black Canary, took over, does a lot of action kung-fu and fighting. In Real Life, her actor Caity Lotz is trained in martial arts, dancing, parkour, and stunt work. Legends of Tomorrow gives her a costume that shows her face, giving Lotz the chance to showcase her skill set with less use of a stunt double. While Stephen Amell does not do a lot of his fights, he does all of his other stunts himself - he is an avid parkour practitioner and bodybuilder, so it was inevitable. On multiple occasions, a point is made to show his face as he performing the incredible feats he does, and the salmon ladder in particular was included specifically because Amell could do it.

The sharp contrast between this and his in-character hick accent stopped being striking or funny fairly quickly. It had already been shown a few times on The Andy Griffith Show, alongside Griffith's singing, guitar playing, and unique storytelling style.note These days, his singing is what he's better known for; he had sung "Back Home Again in Indiana" before the Indianapolis 500 for decades and would continue to do so until he passed away in 2012.

The Cast Showoff / int_222c2051	comment	Virtually every time a wrestler stars or guest-stars in anything they're shown using wrestling moves, even if they're not supposed to. This led to a hilarious subversion in Chuck when they introduce "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as an enemy agent and expert at close-quarters combat, but is revealed to be a sword expert who ends up performing no wrestling moves whatsoever. Completely averted by Cody Rhodes' guest spot on Warehouse 13; he plays an ex-football player (in a bit of an Actor Allusion), but never does any wrestling moves. One particularly blatant example comes from Star Trek: Voyager. In one episode Dwayne Johnson (credited simply as "The Rock") appears for one scene just so he can wrestle Seven of Nine. They even let him do a couple of his trademark moves (including The People's Eyebrow). The Eyebrow can, at least, be justified by the fact that he is playing a gladiator. It would make sense for him to have a trademark, of sorts.

The song "Show-Off" may serve as an in-universe-in-universe example: in the show within a show, Janet is a famous actress and notable Large Ham. Thus, even her declaration that she's giving up the stage requires a 5 minute, elaborate musical number that showcases her many, many talents. The irony does not escape the others present. Subverted and then played straight by the character of Tottendale, who, according to the Man in the Chair, is played by a woman named Ukulele Lil, who presumably plays the ukulele - but doesn't in this show. In the finale, Tottendale/Ukulele Lil is the first character to appear to the Man in the Chair, and sure enough, she's playing the ukulele.

They wanted the public to first hear them sing as John Schneider and Tom Wopat, not as Bo and Luke Duke. After the series ended, both went into careers as country music singers. Schneider was the slightly more successful of the two. And what happened? Deejays would play his hit songs, come back on the air, and joyfully announce, "That was Bo Duke!"

Season 7B had her repeat the feat—but this time, it involved her in roller skates with no helmet! Season 3's "My Old Kentucky Home", an entire episode that seems to be dedicated to Cast Showoffs: Vincent Kartheiser shows off his dancing skills in the scene where Pete and his wife Trudy stop Roger's party dead by doing the Charleston. Michael Gladis duets with Miles Fisher (formerly of an a cappella group at Harvard) on "Hello, My Baby" in the scene where Kinsey and his old college buddy from Princeton's Tigertones show off their acapella skills. John Slattery singing the title song (in blackface, for extra Squick) at Roger and Jane's engagement party Christina Hendricks appears to sing a rendition of "C'est Magnifique" while accompanying herself on the accordion, at Joan and Greg's dinner party. The singing voice was dubbed but the accordion-playing was all her. Season 6 opens with Jessica Pare singing "Zou Bisou Bisou" in her native French Canadian while doing some Burlesque steps. Season 7A ends with Robert Morse singing and dancing to the old show tune "The Best Things in Life Are Free" as Don Draper's hallucination (or was it?) of the now-deceased Bert Cooper in the series' biggest (if not only) Big-Lipped Alligator Moment (but a delightful and tasteful one!). Morse is, of course, a veteran of Broadway musicals, and his role on Mad Men was a Casting Gag referring to his breakout performance in the original 1961 production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

The Cast Showoff / int_3558eaa2	comment	Community's cast likes to show off. "Home Economics": Pierce becomes a keyboardist in Vaughn's band, allowing Chevy Chase to briefly display his skills as a musician. "Environmental Science": Troy and Abed's duet of "Somewhere Out There". "Comparative Religion": Troy harmonizes nicely during Jeff and Abed's singing of "Oh, Christmas Troy". In "Regional Holiday Music", Donald Glover (Troy) takes the opportunity to demonstrate his skill at rapping. "Interpretive Dance": The dance recital serves as an opportunity for Troy, Britta, and Abed to show off their dancing skills. "Intro to Political Science" and "Studies in Modern Movement" allow Joel McHale to sing. Ironically, he is one of the weakest singers in the cast, but he is decent enough at it "Physical Education": Not only can Joel McHale play pool, he also looks good naked, everybody! Yes, those two facts were related. "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas": They all sing, and very well by the way (especially Yvette and Alison). Season 5 included Jeff doing a stand-up skit. Joel Mchale is a comedian himself. Danny Pudi shows off his abilities as an impressionist multiple times, doing impressions of Nicholas Cage, Don Draper. and even fellow cast members Joel McHale and Donald Glover. In general, anytime Shirley gets to sing is a chance for Yvette Nicole Brown to go big.

A difficult trick indeed, so they arranged for a number of teppanyaki chefs to be on set to do the trick in close-up. When Mads Mikkelsen arrived on set, he was told about the trick, and asked to try it himself. He performed it perfectly. Mikkelsen had been a juggler in his youth.

Sam Lloyd (Ted) belongs to an a cappella group called 'The Blanks', which was written into a multitude of episodes performing as The Worthless Peons. Scrubs had a musical episode too. Not all the cast were good singers (hence why Chalke wasn't a part of the brief musical number they had in season 2), but some were and the rest gamely did their best toward an enthusiastic and entertaining performance overall. The patient with the brain aneurysm in this episode is played by Stephanie D'Abruzzo, who is best known for being in the original Broadway cast of Avenue Q.

The exception is Rob Brydon, who during his first appearance did a "Pick Up Song" of "Delilah" in which he revealed a really good and Tom-Jones-ish voice as well as a freakish ability to stay in time when the music came back in. The show's accommodating him by continuing to give him Tom Jones songs in subsequent appearances arguably does qualify him for Cast Showoff. Rob's true Awesome Music comes in "One Song To The Tune Of Another". In a round when even decent singers consider themselves lucky to get to the end, he manages to make the most ridiculous combinations sound like that was how they were supposed to sound all along. Defied in another episode: Lampshaded in Season 76 Episode 2, when a musical round unexpectedly has accompaniment by someone other than Colin Sell at the piano:

The Cast Showoff / int_4c99197e	comment	Both The Muppet Show and Sesame Street grant big musical numbers to puppeteers with particularly great singing voices, including Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and West End actress Louise Gold. Sesame did the same for both human characters (Northern Calloway, Alan Muraoka, Lillian White, Alaina Reed Hall, Bob McGrath) and puppeteers (Stephanie D'Abruzzo, John Tartaglia) with established careers either in music or theater. Bob, in particular, was famous for being a soloist on the series Sing Along with Mitch in the '60s, leading him to become a teen idol in Japan - naturally, Bob's job on the show was as a voice teacher. And some just happen to be talented and don't even have those excuses - Emilio Delgado (Luis) got to show off his guitar skills, and former puppeteer Kevin Clash (best known for Elmo) got to show off his vocal range a great deal. In the famous "Goodbye, Mr. Hooper" episode, Big Bird gives drawings he made of his friends to them. All of them, including the one of Mr. Hooper that is on display at Big Bird's nest to this very day, were drawn by Caroll Spinney, a cartoonist and painter who also wrote an illustrated the official Sesame Street book "How to Be a Grouch" with his wife, Debra.

Amy's character is a neurobiologist, specifically because Mayim Bialik has a doctorate in neurobiology. She not only understand all of the science in her lines, but reportedly helps to vet them for accuracy. Johnny Galecki (Leonard) plays the cello and Simon Helberg plays the piano.

The episode contains five song numbers, two of which are original and written for the episode: "Superfriend" and "Come Running Home To You."

The Cast Showoff / int_5d354f8	comment	Red Dwarf had a few examples, given that most of the cast were not "legit" actors at the start of the series. The most egregious has to be the "Tongue-Tied" music video at the beginning of the second-season finale as performed by Danny John-Jules (who was a professional dancer), but there were several episodes where Chris Barrie (an impressionist and Spitting Image alumnus) would either do a voice-only part or have Rimmer break into a surprisingly excellent impression of a particular voice or accent (and of course, Ace Rimmer has a different-sounding voice to Rimmer as well). Subverted in one episode, though, where apparently it turns out that Ace's voice is the one voice that Rimmer can't do well, sounding "67% more weaselly" according to Kryten. The audiobook of "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" is performed by Chris Barrie alone, but sounds like a full cast recording. Barrie also does this on an unbroadcast script episode ("Identity Within") that was included in the Series VII DVD as an extra.

Even when the leapee of the episode isn't a musician or dancer, episodes like "Double Identity" and "Pool Hall Blues" still throw in musical interludes purely in order to showcase Bakula's musical chops. Donald Bellisario said that unless it was dangerous Bakula would rarely use a double for anything. However the less said about Dean Stockwell's rapping in "Shock Theatre" the better. (It's telling that the version on the soundtrack album is very different, both in terms of performance and words, to the one in the actual episode.) This has happened with Bakula again in NCIS: New Orleans. His character, Dwayne Pride, is frequently seen playing the piano at his bar. And again when he guest-starred in an episode of Boston Legal as a successful lawyer and old flame of Shirley Schmidt's. Playing piano and singing in a bar.

The original plan was to shoot it in stages, until the director found out that the actor, Corin Nemec, is an extremely good swimmer. The entire scene is filmed as a single shot lasting just under two minutes, and actor performs various physical activities while holding his breath underwater. When he finally surfaces, he's barely out of breath. In the DVD Commentary, the director still can't get over his surprise at the actor not needing to resurface for air.

Then there are the various songs sung by Vic Fontaine, played by James Darren. And Vic and Sisko's duet of "The Best Is Yet To Come". And Nana Visitor but not as Kira singing "Fever". Inverted in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"; Max GrodÃ©nchik (Rom) was a semi-pro baseball player in high school, nearly going full-professional before getting into acting. He was actually incapable of playing as badly as Rom was supposed to be (Rom was supposed to be by far the worst player on the team), which is why he plays left-handed in the episode.

The Cast Showoff / int_880cfa15	comment	Hilariously subverted in Hogan's Heroes - Werner Klemperer (Col. Klink) was a world-class violinist, and the son of a classical composer and noted orchestral conductor. Klink, on the other hand, played the violin like a cat losing a fight with a band saw. However, other episodes did showcase the singing talents of the cast (noticeably Robert Clary, Richard Dawson and Larry Hovis). Bob Crane also got to show off his drumming chops in one episode. (He also played the drums for the show's theme music.) It should be noted that Klink could play one song perfectly: The American National Anthem

As it turned out, SkarsgÃ¥rd could point his eyes in two different directions all on his own, saving production the time and resources.

The Cast Showoff / int_89bf8ce	comment	30 Rock likes to make use of Jane Krakowski's singing skills by making her character Jenna Maroney an in-universe Cast Showoff. Jenna seems dead set on launching a singing career that just isn't happening, aside from some success in Eastern Europe with a ditty called "Muffin Top". The whole thing is particularly lampshaded when she forcibly inserts herself into the center of a song and dance number that has absolutely nothing to do with her, much to the mild annoyance of the other characters in the scene. This was also done with Krakowski a lot in Ally McBeal, which make it seem it's Krakowski herself who contractually obligates shows she joins to let her sing. It is a little excessive. Ally McBeal is an excellent example of this trope all together; everybody in the cast who can remotely carry a tune (and some who can't) takes the stage at the bar at least once. Ironically, the producers of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt decided that Krakowski's character on that show has a terrible singing voice to bar her from engaging in this trope. In the second Christmas Episode, Jack's mother gets to sing. Elaine Stritch, who played her, was a Tony-nominated Broadway actress and singer notable for, among other things, originating the role of Joanne in Sondheim's Company. Tina Fey has gotten to show off her college-level German a number of times. Jack has a few opportunities to showcase Alec Baldwin's celebrity impressions.

The Cast Showoff / int_8d7f29ec	comment	While Glee is made to show off the entire cast's singing abilities, there are a few scenes that show Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike), and Matthew Morrison's (Will) dancing abilities. Even when the whole group is dancing in unison, if you watch Morris and Shum, their moves are always far cleaner than the rest of the cast. Morris was cast after she was brought on to teach Chris Colfer the Single Ladies dance, as she had recently finished touring with Beyonce. Special notice goes to the "Special Education" episode, where Morris and Shum get a spectacular swing dance duet during "Valerie", and "The Substitute", where Shum and Morrison do a jaw dropping comedy-dance routine to "Make Em Laugh". "I Am Unicorn" shows off Chris Colfer's (Kurt) skill with Sai swords. It's pretty damn awesome. Prior to Glee, Kevin McHale was in a boyband, and before the addition of Harry and Heather, was said to have been among the cast's best dancers. While he spends most of his time in a wheelchair, he does learn all the routines standing up. His character has been given two dream sequences, giving McHale a chance to show off his dance skills. The first dream sequence was plot related, but the second, in which he performs Michael Jackson's 'Scream', was probably an excuse for him to show off. It was pretty obvious that Gwyneth Paltrow and later Kate Hudson's guest starring roles were mainly used as a tool for the actresses to show off their singing (and in the latter case's dancing) abilities. Darren Criss sung and played piano for both Teenage Dream and Against All Odds live. Many cast members showcase their abilities with instruments as well: Mark Salling (Puck), Kevin McHale (Artie) and Chord Overstreet (Sam) all play guitar and Cory Monteith (Finn) plays the drums.

Several other episodes included moments where he would show off his skills as an impressionist (notably of John Wayne and Jack Benny). Season 5's "Movie Tonight" did this both for Burghoff and for Loretta Swit, who sang "C'est Magnifique" during a break in the film screening. All the main characters got in on the "Father Mulcahy Soundalike Contest", something that the cast members had done at one point. (Burghoff was arguably the winner.)

Disney does this a lot with its female leads; Lindsay Lohan, Raven-SymonÃ©, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Vanessa Hudgens. Christy would later provide the romantic theme under the ending credits of The Movie (not quite the Grand Finale) "So The Drama", except there she's not performing as Kim. The song is spot on for what has happened in the show though, so it could easily be thought of as performed by the character.

The Cast Showoff / int_95b62321	comment	Kamen Rider Dragon Knight didn't shy away from showing off the martial artists cast in it. Considering how two of them were playing characters who are essentially career soldiers, those scenes don't stand out all that much. The third episode of features a scene where Len, portrayed by karate champion Matt Mullins, trains on a rooftop. Although it makes sense for the character, the scene has absolutely no plot relevance. Looks good, though... Another example is the fight between him and Danny Cho/taekwondo martial artist and stuntman Mike Moh. The scene is both relevant and looks good with Daytime Emmy Award. Later in the season, there's a sparring scene between Len and the Advent Master, played by Mark Dacascos. That scene exists to show off their skills. As far back as the original series' "Let's Go Rider Kick" (performed by Hiroshi Fujioka), Kamen Rider series have featured insert songs performed by the lead actors in order to show off their singing skills. However, Den-O takes the cake for allowing star Takeru Satoh to show off his singing, acting, and even break-dancing skills. In fact, odds are Ryutaros' penchant for breakdancing was created entirely to allow Satoh more opportunities to show off. Nearly the entire cast of Kamen Rider Kiva getting to show off their vocal chops during things like the Holy Fang Christmas live show. Koji Seto and Kenji Matsuda especially. Kamen Rider Fourze had an episode where a Monster of the Week challenges the Kamen Rider Club to a contest, and even lets them choose the terms. Gentaro chooses Double Dutch, which is Sota Fukushi's specialty; likewise, JK (Shion Tsuchida) chooses breakdancing. The Hyper Battle Video of Kamen Rider Gaim had Gaku Sano, Yutaka Kobayashi and Yuumi Shida showing off their interests, most notably Yutaka's baking skills. Yutaka even briefly had a web series called "Yuta CafÃ©", where he would bake things for the other cast members. And during the Baron focus episode of Gaim Gaiden, this comes into play again when Shapur bakes a cake for Mai. Because Gaim initially centers on teams of street dancers, several members of the cast were talented in that field and got to show it off both in dance sequences and unmorphed fights. It's quite noticable that Kouta is more far more nimble when he's untransformed (and played by Gaku Sano) than he is once he changes into Gaim (at which point suit actor Seiji Takaiwa takes over). Gaim also gives us Action Girl Yoko Minato/Kamen Rider Marika; she was played by professional stuntwoman Minami Tsukui, giving the franchise its first example of No Stunt Double in over 40 yearsnote Hiroshi Fujioka did his own stunts in the original series, but after he broke his leg during a stunt gone wrong, Toei was much less open to face actors doing stunts. Besides Tsukui being her own suit actress, she also got plenty of unmorphed fights to show off her martial arts skills. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has Masamune Dan play piano and sing some parts like the first words of his Image Song, Justice. Hiroyuki Takami is singer and songwriter of pop band Acess.

The Cast Showoff / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: George Takei didn't know how to fence prior to being cast for Star Trek, though he was a huge fan of the Robin Hood movies of the 40's and 50's, which had fencing in them. In the episode "The Naked Time", the screenwriters initially planned to have Takei act like a Japanese Samurai under the influence of the virus, which Takei diplomatically referred to as "ethnically consistent" (read: stereotypical), and inspired by the movies he watched as a child suggested that he could fence instead. The screenwriters asked him if he could fence and he told them it was his favorite sport and he fenced when he was young, so they okayed the change. Takei then swiftly arranged to have his very first fencing lesson ever before the episode started filming, and discovered he liked it so much that he actually kept at it. And Nichelle Nichols was also an accomplished singer who prior to being cast in Star Trek had toured the US, Canada, and Europe as a vocalist with the Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton bands. In the first few episodes of the first season, Uhura was given several chances to show her singing talents. Uhura's singing abilities are so integral to the character that when Uhura was cast in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as a young cadet fresh out of the academy they went with Celia Rose Gooding, a trained Broadway musical actress, who has had plenty of opportunities to show off her exceptional voice during the show even before it did a big damn musical episode.

It is a little excessive. Ally McBeal is an excellent example of this trope all together; everybody in the cast who can remotely carry a tune (and some who can't) takes the stage at the bar at least once. Ironically, the producers of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt decided that Krakowski's character on that show has a terrible singing voice to bar her from engaging in this trope.

A number of episodes featured Joe singing either with his "band back home in Bayport" or with whatever musical act happened to be in the show that week. Luckily, the show worked around this through the running gag of his brother Frank never sticking around to hear Joe perform. The plot follows Frank, with cut-backs to Joe's performance. Parker Stevenson was also a good surfer in real life. One episode, "Wipe Out" had a silly contrived mechanism of Frank Hardy placing in a national surfing competition, just to get the boys to Hawaii and in the middle of a hotel theft ring.

The Cast Showoff / int_b2c6c7a4	comment	Each of the stars of hololive English exhibited some amazing talents, many in their debuts alone, which endeared them to not only their target English-speaking audience, but to Japanese fans as well, helping them achieve stardom practically overnight. Calliope Mori not only made her introductory animation in addition to Kiara's, but has amazing singing chops as well, debuting four rap songs in her first week. Kiara Takanashi is fluently trilingual in Japanese, English, and German. Ina'nis Ninomae is also fluently trilingual in Japanese, English, and Korean. In addition, she is a talented artist and animator. The preview image for hololive English was drawn by her. Gura Gawr has amazing rhythm, a beautiful singing voice, and is a pro at rhythm games. Amelia Watson is an expert at both video editing (the Mushroom Samba portion of her debut stream showing off her skills at video effects) and FPS games such as Valorant and Apex Legends.

Aldis Hodge (Hardison) had his opportunity to play the violin in "The Scheherazade Job," while Christian Kane (Eliot) sang and played guitar in "The Studio Job."note Hardison previously claimed that he had the talent to play violin but simply hadn't done so in several years, with Nate hypnotizing him to draw that talent back out, while Elliot is simply good at anything he attempts. Also, that painting of Nate's "ancestor" (a stylized version of Nate, really) that Hardison claimed to paint himself - yeah, that was really painted by the actor himself.

Jones was a jockey prior to becoming an entertainer (and after, actually, as he still holds the record as the oldest amateur rider to ever win a graded UK stakes race.) Ironically, it was the lack of cast showoffs that sank The Monkees when word got around that the cast didn't play their own instruments, though Peter and Michael were actually gifted musicians and Micky became a passable drummer ("It's not brain surgery" as he put it). Davy never played anything more complicated than a tambourine. The Monkees were quite capable of singing in close harmony, as demonstrated in an episode that aired around Christmas where they sang an acapella version of the Spanish carol "Riu Riu Chiu".

The Cast Showoff / int_bba90723	comment	Happens often in the Eurovision Song Contest. Sometimes it's just as simple as being particularly great at dancing, playing an instrument, or (shocker!) singing, but there are also often showcases for if the performer is accomplished at gymnastics, yodeling, or some other such unique skill. One of the most famous examples is Norway's Alexander Rybak, who both sang and played the violin in his song "Fairytale" and won the contest. A variant is when the performers write their own songs, such as Katrina and the Waves or ABBA. Happens a lot with the hosts as well, especially if they're singers in their own right. The first time this happened was when famous Swedish singer and entertainer (as well as a former Eurovision representative herself) Lill Lindfors hosted in 1985, which began with her singing a song about the joys of music. Happened again the two years after that, when Norwegian folk singer Ã…se Kleveland (also a former Eurovision representative - same year as Lill, in fact) hosted in 1986 and when Belgian pop star Viktor Lazlo hosted in 1987. Downplayed for a while after that, as most contests opted to use TV and radio presenters as hosts, but it would show up again in years like: 1991 - both hosts were former Eurovision winners and took a good chunk of time at the start of the show to reprise their respective winning songs. 1996 - co-host Morten Harket, of a-ha fame, performed his newest single as an opening act. 1997 - similarly, co-host Ronan Keating of Irish boy band Boyzone joined his bandmates to perform the interval act 2002 - one host was an opera singer and the other was a Shakespearean actor, and both would make sure you were aware of those facts several times. 2003 - both hosts had represented Latvia at Eurovision in the past and sang in the interval act. 2006 - Greek singer Sakis Rouvas and Greek-American TV host/model Maria Menounos got to sing a bit of "Love Shine a Light" at the beginning of the semi-final. 2008 - subtly: co-host Zeljko Joksimovic, a famous Serbian singer-songwriter and composer who had represented his country and others at Eurovision (and would again in the future), actually wrote that year's Serbian entry (and it finished sixth)! 2011 - co-host Stefan Raab took every possible opportunity to show off his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, taking both drum and guitar solos at different points in the shows. 2012 - Eldar Gasimov, one of the co-hosts and half of the previous year's winning duo Ell & Nikki, joined his duet partner and several other former Eurovision champs for a rendition of "Waterloo" during one of the semis. 2013 - Petra Mede, a famous comedian and TV host in Sweden, not only hosted the whole show herself; she also performed an elaborate musical interval act called "Swedish Smorgasbord," not only showing off a good sense of humor about Sweden's international image, but also a good singing voice! 2014 - co-host Pilou AsbÃ¦k displayed decent Chinese skills, for whatever reason. 2016 - Petra Mede returned, as did the previous year's champ MÃ¥ns Zelmerlow, with both performing elaborate songs making fun of and celebrating Eurovision and the latter performing his winning song "Heroes" and a new single. Among the talents contestants have displayed beyond singing: magic tricks (Estonia's JÃ¼ri Pootsmann in 2016), drumming (a whole bunch, including Bulgaria's drum-happy duo Elitsa and Stoyan in 2007 and 2013 and Romania's Luminita Anghel in 2005), flute-playing (Finland's Vesa-Matti Loiri in 1980 and Slovenia's Tinkara KovaÃ§ in 2014), piano- and guitar-playing (too many to list, but special props to Ireland's Paul Harrington and Charlie Mc Gettigan, who accompanied themselves on piano and guitar with no orchestra or playback and won handily), violin-playing (major examples being Switzerland's Egon Egemann in 1990 and Sebalter in 2014, Estonia's Sandra Nurmsalu of Urban Symphony in 2009, and not one but two Norwegian winners: Secret Garden's Fionnuala Sherry in 1995 and the aforementioned Alexander Rybak in 2009 and his return attempt in 2018), unicycling (Moldova's Zdobi si Zdub in 2011), saxophone-playing (Moldova's SunStroke Project in both 2010 and 2017; no prizes for guessing who), and plenty more either mentioned here or where that came from.

Summer Glau, the actress who plays Cameron... do we even need to say it? (She in fact got her big break—working with Joss Whedon in an episode of Angel which later led him to bring her on Firefly—playing a ballerina, as noted above.) Singer Shirley Manson makes her acting debut in the Season 2 opener; the opening scene is set to the backdrop of her singing, even before her character has any screen time. Her character's daughter mentions in a later episode that "Mommy can't sing." In the episode "The Tower is Tall But the Fall is Short", Bonnie Morgan, an actress who is also a contortionist, plays the Terminator "Rosie" and gets bent every which way in a fight with Cameron—and yes, her body can and does really bend like that.

Curry's help was apparently invaluable in the writing of the episode "Rumpole and the Blind Tasting", which centred around a receiving stolen property case in which the (allegedly) stolen goods were a massive shipment of (allegedly) extremely expensive fine wine. The goods were not stolen and the wine was in fact cheap plonk in empty bottles that previously housed the good stuff. The whole thing was actually an elaborate case of Insurance Fraud by the alleged victim of the theft. Curry's knowledge of wine apparently helped Mortimer set up how Rumpole would crack it.

However, beginning with the fourth season, Claire Corlett got to do her own singing as Sweetie Belle. Andrea Libman voices Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy and is Fluttershy's singing voice. She is also fluent in French; a fact noted by fans upon hearing Fluttershy pronounce "haute couture".

The Cast Showoff / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Carole Ann Ford was a trained dancer, which is exploited in her Establishing Character Moment of her doing a very peculiar dance to some chart pop music. A choreographer, Rosalyn de Winter, was consulted to develop the movements for the Zarbi, Menoptera and Optera in "The Web Planet", and the crew was so impressed with her that she was given the role of the lead Menoptera character in the story, Vrestin. Patrick Troughton: One of the Second Doctor's standard maneuvers was Wig, Dress, Accent, which was deliberately written in to exploit how the Doctor was now played by an extremely versatile character actor who could convincingly alter his entire appearance just by affecting a different voice and mannerisms. Good examples are "Doktor von Wer" and the Harmless Lady Disguise from "The Highlanders", and the deliberately convoluted I Am He as You Are He situation in "The Enemy of the World" where he gets to play the Doctor, the Doctor's Criminal DoppelgÃ¤nger, and both of them pretending to be each other, or pretending to be the other pretending to be them - some viewers even find that the Doctor and his lookalike come across so differently that they don't look remotely like each other, almost breaking the plot. Troughton, in real life, loved playing the recorder and carried one about with him to play in idle moments, a quirk that got written into the character. The recorder the Second Doctor uses was his own. The Second Doctor's ability to obsessively read people's social dynamics started when Gerry Davis was fascinated by Troughton's ability to do the same. Jon Pertwee: Had a fascination for gadgets and cars, which cropped up in the Third Doctor's stories. In fact, one car used by the Doctor during his run was Pertwee's own personal property, and not a BBC prop. This is why it is never seen or mentioned again after "Planet of the Spiders" (where the episode-long chase sequence was mostly done as a farewell gift to him), unlike Bessie, the more often seen yellow roadster. Another of his Doctor's quirks was that he was into martial arts, particularly 'Venusian aikido'. Pertwee was a highly-skilled martial artist and tried to do his own stunts whenever possible (although a lot of the time the fight scenes aren't much more elaborate than running up to someone, lightly touching their arm and yelling 'hai'). Sadly his back was starting to get the better of him during his final year, and being no longer able to do his own stunts was one of the reasons he left the show. Pertwee was a well-loved and accomplished singer and voice actor, and one of his Doctor's quirks is a fondness for singing in idle moments, usually in a funny voice or a bang-on impersonation of the original artist. Pertwee was also an accomplished gurner. Several scenes were written which gave Pertwee an excuse to do his amazing face-pulling. Tom Baker: Could pop his already large, wide eyes partway out of his sockets. After a few years, him doing this in an Eye Take was a standard cliffhanger lead-in. Word of God says the reason Tom Baker was given an elaborate Patrick Stewart Speech in "The Ark in Space" was to show off the then-newly cast Baker's speaking ability - both in terms of his ability to pull off the kind of soliloquies that his predecessor would never have been able to, and in terms of showing off his gorgeous voice, with which the production team was universally infatuated. Some writers (especially Robert Holmes) would even sneak Inherently Funny Words into the Doctor's dialogue in scripts, just for the joy of hearing Baker say them. The Fourth Doctor's regeneration into the Fifth had the conceit that the Doctor was deliriously thinking he was still in his own past regenerations, allowing Peter Davison the opportunity to show off his gift for impressions as he played the first four Doctors. Davison also got to show off his cricketing skills in "Black Orchid" and his fencing prowess along with Anthony Ainley in "The Kings Demons". The whole of Season 23 features the Doctor defending himself in a trial. Before he was an actor, Colin Baker was a lawyer. Sylvester McCoy was a trained clown and vaudevillian before getting the role, working with the Ken Campbell Roadshow (a postmodern version of traditional variety acts) and Vision On. At various points he demonstrates his ability to do a proper pratfall and any number of small magic tricks, including magicking his Calling Card out of nowhere. He also plays the spoons, a talent Sylvester McCoy mastered during his vaudeville career, and which he would also use in his turn as the Fool in King Lear opposite Sir Ian McKellen. It was amusingly subverted by McCoy in "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" - in his first scene, he's trying and failing to learn to juggle from a "teach yourself" book. This is because scriptwriter Stephen Wyatt had assumed that he could juggle because of his background, and it was late in the production that he admitted to the director that he was unable to do the juggling scene that had originally been written. "A Christmas Carol" features Katherine Jenkins' singing talents as a major plot point. "Closing Time" establishes that since leaving the Doctor, Amy Pond has become a popular model. In real life, actress Karen Gillan was a model before she was an actor. Averted on at least two occasions: the 2005 and 2006 seasons co-starred Billie Piper, who was a very successful pop singer, while the 2007 Christmas special co-starred Kylie Minogue, who needs no introduction (apparently she's a pop singer from Australia?), yet neither sang a note during their appearances on the series (and Minogue's episode even included an original song, which was performed by someone else). The Eleventh Doctor's actor Matt Smith wanted to be a professional footballer before a back injury closed that path for him, playing for the youth teams of several notable clubs, including captaining the youth side of Leicester City, then a top ten Premier League side (in short - he was good). In "The Lodger", we get to see some of his skills on the pitch, and he's still got it. The Twelfth Doctor gets to show off his electric-guitar-playing skills in several episodes of Series 9. Peter Capaldi played guitar and sang in the punk rock band Dreamboys when he was in college, and did all his own guitar playing. The most spectacular example is at the end of The Teaser for "Before the Flood", which continues into the credit sequence, in which he plays the usual top line of the theme.

The Cast Showoff / int_d11e211f	comment	The Hyper Battle Video of Kamen Rider Gaim had Gaku Sano, Yutaka Kobayashi and Yuumi Shida showing off their interests, most notably Yutaka's baking skills. Yutaka even briefly had a web series called "Yuta CafÃ©", where he would bake things for the other cast members. And during the Baron focus episode of Gaim Gaiden, this comes into play again when Shapur bakes a cake for Mai. Because Gaim initially centers on teams of street dancers, several members of the cast were talented in that field and got to show it off both in dance sequences and unmorphed fights. It's quite noticable that Kouta is more far more nimble when he's untransformed (and played by Gaku Sano) than he is once he changes into Gaim (at which point suit actor Seiji Takaiwa takes over). Gaim also gives us Action Girl Yoko Minato/Kamen Rider Marika; she was played by professional stuntwoman Minami Tsukui, giving the franchise its first example of No Stunt Double in over 40 yearsnote Hiroshi Fujioka did his own stunts in the original series, but after he broke his leg during a stunt gone wrong, Toei was much less open to face actors doing stunts. Besides Tsukui being her own suit actress, she also got plenty of unmorphed fights to show off her martial arts skills.

The Cast Showoff / int_d56cd064	comment	Power Rangers Zeo had an episode where Tommy and Tanya had to sing every single line, briefly turning the show into a musical and displaying their singing talents (or lack of in Tommy's case). Mighty Morphin also had an episode in season 3 where Kimberly sings an original song, playing her own acoustic guitar as backup. Dino Thunder would pull a similar trick with Yellow Ranger Kira, but as a singer with her own band who dreamed of getting a record contract one day, Kira performed significantly more often in-show than Kimberly ever did. In Dino Thunder, Tommy and Jason David Frank's martial arts skills returned. He seldom used a stunt double. In an episode where Tommy dreamed fights with his first three ranger forms, that stuntman was in those suits instead. Also, Power Rangers Ninja Storm and Dustin's mad motorcycle and saxophone skills. And others. And let's not forget that the original series tailored its martial arts battle to cater to each person's ability, Trini's kung fu, Jason's martial arts ability, Zack's dancing, and Kimberly's gymnastics. Billy didn't get to really show off until about season 3. Besides MMPR actors, a number of other actors in the series have showcased their martial arts talents, including Michael Chaturantabut, Daniel Southworth, Yoshi Sudarso and Brennan Mejia. Kira Josephson, who plays Jane in Power Rangers Dino Fury, got to flex her tap dancing skills in an episode.

The Cast Showoff / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: Over the years the show has been used heavily as a vehicle for showcasing Trey Parker and Matt Stone's talents, interests, and incredible singing abilities. Usually manifests in the form of musical numbers or hilarious use of horribly improper, but grammatically correct Japanese. Parker has a long relationship with music and studied Japanese in university before making it big. Let's Fighting Love is the combination of both of these talents. Isaac Hayes before he left. In almost every appearance, he's singing. The series in general is Matt and Trey showing off that each of them is a Man of a Thousand Voices, since the overwhelming majority of the male cast is one of them. Heck, part of the plot of one episode was probably done to show off a spot on Dark Knight Rises-styled Bane impression.

Oancitizen desperately wants to join in to fulfill this trope, but since he's posing as a character already identified as The Speechless, doing so would blow their cover. During the ensuing sequence, the Chick has to physically wrest a microphone from him at several points to keep him from trying to sing (and at one point, the villain himself does so unintentionally); by the end of the song, Oancitizen has had enough and sings the final line, prompting this line from the villain after he realizes he's been had.

The Cast Showoff / int_ea4f62db	comment	Since its return, Family Guy has increasingly become a platform for Seth MacFarlane to show off his fondness for musical Broadway theatre and vintage MGM movies and, since he's half the cast, also his tremendous singing ability. In one season, not an episode went by without the show breaking into spontaneous chorus. Eventually this is parodied in "Road to Germany", where having gone back to World War II-era Europe via a time machine, Stewie, Brian, and Mort Goldman are trapped by Hitler, who threatens them with execution unless they perform a song and dance routine (each of the Road to... episodes up to that point had included one). Brian and Stewie begin to sing, but Mort cuts the song short, yelling at them to shut up and just get in the time machine. The episode Spies Reminiscent of Us may well have been written as an opportunity for Mila Kunis to speak in her native Russian. Unsurprisingly, American Dad! appears to be going down the same route, if not to quite the same extent. Stan Smith has gotten a few great musical numbers courtesy of Seth. Also, Scott Grimes is a professional singer, and many episodes reference Steve Smith's singing talent. Additionally, Seth's sister, Rachael, who performs Hayley, had come out with a jazz album and had Hayley become a jazz singer for Roger's bar in one episode

(But, after all, he was the producer.) William Frawley and Vivian Vance also occasionally got chances to sing or perform with no relation to comedy. Lucy's performances were never played straight.

The Cast Showoff / int_f4e799ee	comment	Burn Notice seamlessly blends actor Jeffrey Donovan's extensive martial arts training, skill for accents, and even dancing background into the show, which are justified by his character being an ex-spy who would need to know such things. Curiously, the fight-scenes are often filmed in such a way that Jeffrey's face can't be seen, leading some viewers to think that a stunt-double is used (much to Donovan's frustration).

The Cast Showoff / int_f53fe2fa	comment	Mission: Impossible: Shannon went undercover in several roles that required her to sing, which allowed Jane Badler to showcase her talent as a singer. In "Gunslinger", Jim Phelps remarks that he used to be pretty good with a sixshooter and does a few Gun Twirling tricks to the admiration of his teammates. The filming makes it obvious that Peter Graves is doing his own twirling. The above examples from the '80s version, but the original had Barbara Bain's Cinnamon singing three originals in "Illusion," Greg Morris' Barney going undercover as a singer... but ironically the most musically talented member of the cast(s), Lesley Ann Warren as Dana, barely got to sing!

The Cast Showoff / int_f655ed11	comment	In Frasier, the eponymous character was a highbrow, artsy type, so it was totally in-character (and often humorous, due to context or song selection) for Kelsey Grammer to sing on several occasions throughout the show. He does it quite brilliantly — he's also the singer of the ending credits theme "Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs". Both Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce can play the piano and demonstrate this several times on the show. As Hyde Pierce isn't as good a singer but a better pianist than Grammer, Niles is often called upon to play the piano while Frasier sings. Wendie Malick, who appears as lounge singer Ronee Lawrence in Frasier's final season, sings at the drop of a hat. The most egregious example is where she sits at the piano singing about the Crane family breakfast to the tune of several well-known songs. (She also has a song-and-dance routine, but that's in a dream sequence of Martin Crane's, so we'll let her off.) Jane Leeves is a trained dancer and got to demonstrate this ability a couple of times on the show, most notably in the episode "Moon Dance". Her flexibility comes in handy in later seasons when she gets to show off yoga moves. Despite playing all-American dad Martin, John Mahoney is actually from Manchesternote He was born in Blackpool on the Lancashire coast after his family was evacuated there to avoid German bombing raids during World War II; they moved back to Manchester after the war. and in one episode mocked Daphne's Mancunian accent by mimicking it rather eerily. Ironically, Daphne's Mancunian accent is put on; Jane Leeves is actually from London.

Although Joey is portrayed as being useless at speaking French (in the episode mentioned above), Matt Le Blanc is fluent in the language. In some episodes Chandler (played by Matthew Perry) is seen playing tennis well and is also a good ping pong player. Perry had a keen interest in tennis and was a top-ranked junior player. Matthew also played a tennis player on Beverly Hills, 90210.

The Cast Showoff / int_f6eed39	comment	The The Sopranos episode "Army of One" had Junior Soprano, played by Dominic Chianese, singing an Italian ballad; Chianese is an accomplished tenor in real life. This is something of a subversion; while the adult characters are enjoying it, their kids are bored out of their minds. Meadow Soprano even starts heckling, and later describes the song as saccharine and cliche.

Wai Lin is a secret agent, so it makes sense for her to know some martial arts, but the fact that she uses kung fu so extensively (as opposed to a more practical martial art like junshi sanda or just shooting enemies) is because Michelle Yeoh has decades of experience doing kung fu movies.

The Cast Showoff / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Not to mention all those times on Star Trek: The Next Generation where they let cast members explore their range; whether it was Dwight Schultz performing Cyrano de Bergerac, Patrick Stewart doing Michael Williams from Henry V, or Brent Spiner playing three different characters having a face-to-face conversation. Gates McFadden, a noted Broadway choreographer, actually choreographed her character's tap-dancing lesson for Data and did all her own dancing. Given a bit of a lampshade when Dr. Crusher mentions that she hated the nickname of the "Dancing Doctor" at school. Jonathan Frakes is a skilled poker player, and introduced the tradition of the main cast (minus Picard until the finale) playing poker in their downtime. He could play the trombone at the drop of a mute. Again, however, sometimes Frakes required a Talent Double - professional trombonist Bill Watrous. In Frakes' own words: "When Riker played badly, it was me, but when he was playing well, it was Bill Watrous." In "Unification, Part II", we get Frakes playing a brisk piece on the piano as well as Michael Dorn singing a part of a Klingon opera. In an out-of-series example, Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Michael Dorn, and LeVar Burton produced a song for Spiner's album "Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back", styling themselves 'The Sunspots'.
