3. TV Actors Going into Film, then Coming Full Circle

I know I've forgotten loads of others in this post and the last 2, (Seth Rogen, Possibly Steve Carrell, all the breakthrough talents from SNL, Jason Segal etc etc etc) but Shhh! Anyway here is a list of those who started in humble beginnings, and have now comne back around to pay tribute to their roots.
Part 3:

Claire Danes

Originally the precocious teen lead in My So Called Life,  Danes went off and did the film thing for a number of years. She's finally come back though, in terrorist drama Homeland

Martin Sheen

Martin Sheen had small parts in a LOT of shows before he made it into iconic films such as Badlands. I mean a LOT. Seriously, check on imdb. Nonetheless, the role that I think defines him is on his return to TV, as President Bartlett in The West Wing

Robert Carlyle

Trainspotting, The Full Monty, The World Is Not Enough, Angela's Ashes, The 51st State. Carlyle has stacked up a nice chance of films. He's now moved on to TV, and with Stargate:Universe wrapped up, he's currently on Once Upon a Time. Its almost enough to make you forget he started out life on Hamish Macbeth

Natascha McElhone

The gorgeous McElhone has always stood just outside the spotlight. She was in a number of British shows early in her career, before stepping into the film world. She's back now, but on US tellies instead, as Karen, the ever suffering girlfriend of Hank Moody in the hilariously puerile Californication

Lucy Liu

Ally McBeal launched her career, as office bitch Ling Woo in Ally McBeal. An Emmy nomination got her on the Hollywood gravy train in fodder such as Shanghai Noon and Charlie's Angels. She's back on TV screens now, in the new US remake of Sherlock Holmes, called 'Elementary'

Danny DeVito

Danny Devito had a random string of bit appearances to his name before he struck fame in the form of the sitcom Taxi. Since then he's starred in dozens of films alongside a roster of Hollywood A-listers. In the last several years, he's moved back to television, starring in the sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
