One of my favorite television shows over the last 10 years or so was the U.S. version of The Office. I thought the writing and acting was really good, and the casting seemed so spot on. All the characters were memorable ones, not the least of which was a character named Creed Bratton. He was a kooky old man who just seemed to live on his own planet most of the time. Towards the end of the series, there’s a scene where one of the characters details Creed’s past and what ended up happening to him. They mention that Creed was once in a band called The Grass Roots, a name that I immediately recognized. I looked this up out of curiosity shortly thereafter and, sure enough, Creed Bratton from The Grass Roots was playing Creed Bratton from The Grass Roots.
