Oh, that is just weird!

Here I was watching this vid of Dean and Castiel's funniest moments (I may have to cave in and actually watch the show proper at some point) when I had the most bizarre moment of actor recognition ever. One of the clips is from the episode where Dean takes Castiel to the brothel - and the hooker called Chastity he sends Castiel off with? Is freaking Katya Virshilas, professional ballroom dancer from off of Strictly Come Dancing!

I was envious enough of her for dancing with Antonio Banderas (here). Girl gets all the good guys. (Oh yeah, and Phil Tufnell...)

Dude. And she's in Shall We Dance, though she plays a kind of mean person on there, and I saw her the other day doing god knows what else--oh, wait, what you just said. It took me ages to recognise her on Strictly Come Dancing, but when I did, I was like, "That's the woman! The mean woman in that Antonio Banderas film, and the woman with the guy who pulls off the other guy's wig in the Richard Gere film!"

Needless to say, considering I was already doing something completely granny-ish by watching Strictly seriously, my knowledge of the professional dancers was not met with a sense that I was uninvested. I also referred to James Jordan exclusively as "Ray Kowalski" throughout, and when he went, I was like, "THEY VOTED OUT RAY KOWALSKI!?"

Equanimity, I tell you.
