** Similarly, ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' also has a lot of recurring writers, producers and actors. Back in the Saban days, they also did both other Toku shows and anime dubbing, so there was (by necessity) a lot of crossover between ''Power Rangers'', ''Series/VRTroopers'' and even ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' (as Saban dubbed the anime).

!!General:
* Voice acting in general is prone to this. While voice actors are generally freelancers, a lot of studios and casting directors tend to have their own little talent pool, though there is some overlap when it comes to popular and in-demand talent. For instance, while all three studios use Los Angeles-based actors, it's easy to distinguish a dub by Creator/NewGenerationPictures from one by Creator/BangZoomEntertainment or PCB Productions.
----
!!Specific examples:
* Creator/SethMacFarlane likes to bring in Creator/AmandaSeyfried, Creator/GiovanniRibisi, Creator/LiamNeeson and others in his shows and films.
* Actors in Creator/JossWhedon projects have a tendency to reappear in his future projects. There's a handy table on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Whedon#Frequent_casting Whedon's page]] on Wiki/TheOtherWiki showing which of his posse appeared in which of his projects.
** A crossover between ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'' was to be expected, since they exist in the same universe. But after ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' was cancelled, no fewer than three of the main cast (Creator/NathanFillion, Creator/AdamBaldwin, and Creator/GinaTorres) were given bit-parts in ''Buffy'' or ''Angel''. Creator/SummerGlau was another crossover, but she was on ''Angel'' first and then cast on ''Firefly''.
** Then when ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'' hit the air it featured two of them (Creator/AlanTudyk and Creator/SummerGlau again) in larger roles, along with ex-Angel actor Creator/AmyAcker, ex-Buffy/Angel actor Creator/AlexisDenisof, and an ex-Buffy/Angel actor in the lead (Creator/ElizaDushku). Creator/FeliciaDay had a bit part in both ''Buffy'' and ''Dollhouse''; Creator/ChristinaHendricks had bit parts in both ''Angel'' and ''Firefly''. Meanwhile, ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' starred both Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day.
** And to keep the pattern going, Whedon's feature film ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' stars Amy Acker (again) and Creator/FranKranz (from Dollhouse) and features Creator/TomLenk (from ''Buffy''), while Alexis Denisof (again) and Creator/EnverGjokaj (from Dollhouse) show up in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Creator/JeremyRenner (Hawkeye in ''Avengers'') previously had a bit part in ''Angel'', and Chris Hemsworth (Thor in ''Avengers'') was one of the leads in ''Cabin''.
** Besides Dushku, Glau and Denisof, there are four less-well-known actors (Jonathan Woodward, Jeff Ricketts, Bob Fimiani, Carlos Jacott) who have appeared in three of Whedon's four TV shows.
** This has now started to carry over to shows featuring former alumni who had worked on ''Buffy''/''Angel'', as an episode of ''Grimm'' produced by David Greenwalt had Amy Acker (again!) as a guest star and will have Alexis Denisof as a recurring character. And Creator/TimMinear's short lived show ''Drive'' on FOX starred Nathan Fillion.
** In the season 1 DVD of ''Dollhouse'', there's a whole behind the scenes look at all the cast and crew who return to work with Joss for the show. He's got a production posse that doesn't just act, but also write, produce, shoot, etc.
** In one further unusual take on this trope, an episode of ''Dollhouse'' was directed by John Cassaday, the artist from Whedon's run on ''Comicbook/AstonishingXMen''.
** Actors from Joss productions often appear together even without Joss himself being on scene. In ''Castle'', star Nathan Fillion has often appeared opposite Firefly alums, culminating in "Headhunters", where even the network was promoting the Adam Baldwin/Nathan Fillion reunion. Less well-known is the fact that the Season 2 executive producer was Jose Molina... himself a Buffy and Firefly alum.
** ''Film/MuchAdoAboutNothing2012'' marks the reunion for so many Joss alums that it's pointless to count them. And the movie was filmed ''at Joss's house''.
*** From ''Angel'', Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker play love interests Benedick and Beatrice (no doubt delighting the fans who wished to see them together on the show).
*** From ''Buffy'', Tom Lenk appears as Verges. Riki Lindhome was a guest on the show before appearing in ''Much Ado'' as Conrade. Also, Creator/AnthonyHead was the original choice to play Leonato.
*** Coming from ''Firefly'' are Nathan Fillion as Dogberry and Sean Maher as Don John.
*** ''Dollhouse'' had Fran Kranz, who plays Claudio here, and Creator/ReedDiamond, who plays Don Pedro.
*** ''The Avengers'' had Creator/AshleyJohnson and Creator/ClarkGregg, who ended up taking the part of Leonato after Head dropped out.
** The pilot episode of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' had appearances by J. August Richards (Gunn from ''Angel'') and Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from ''Firefly''); both played the same characters in later episodes of the season. Late in the first season, Amy Acker (YET AGAIN) guest starred as "The Cellist", a person Coulson referred to in ''The Avengers''.
** Even the single episode of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' he directed has this, as he worked with Creator/{{Neil Patrick|Harris}} [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Harris]] in that one.
* Creator/ToeiCompany reuses a lot of the same actors for their {{Tokusatsu}} productions, though few end up taking more than one starring role. Plenty who have starred in one series, however may appear in a minor role in another or vice versa. This usually is regulated to their two ongoing series, ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai''. Notable Toei regulars include Creator/HiroshiMiyauchi, Creator/KenjiOhba, Creator/MachikoSoga, and ThemeTune vocalist Masato Shimon.
* Where Creator/TimBurton is, Music/DannyElfman is sure to follow, and Creator/JohnnyDepp will probably not be far behind. Softer members of the posse include current significant other (Lisa Marie and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter) and Creator/PaulReubens.

** Helena lampshaded this by posting [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=659024907452123&set=a.193817587306193.47504.154639504557335&type=1 this picture]] on her Facebook page.
* Any given ''Franchise/StarTrek'' TV series is likely to share a significant portion of its crew with any other ''Star Trek'' series. ''Trek'' directors are especially likely to have started out as ''Trek'' actors. They also have a pool of actors that they like to pull from for recurring or one-shot characters, such that there are five actors who have played seven or more different ''Trek'' characters: [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Vaughn_Armstrong Vaughn Armstrong]] (12 characters! 13, if you include that MirrorUniverse character), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Thomas_Kopache Thomas Kopache]] (7), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Jeffrey_Combs Jeffrey Combs]] (9), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/J._G._Hertzler J.G. Hertzler]] (8), and [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Randy_Oglesby Randy Oglesby]] (7). [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Joseph_Ruskin Joseph Ruskin's]] only got six, but he's got the distinction of having appeared in five ''Star Trek''s.
** Relatedly, a pizza trophy for the late Creator/MajelBarrett, the First Lady of ''Star Trek'', who was involved in ''every version of the franchise'' from its inception in 1966 to her passing in 2009: TOS Nurse Chapel and pilot episode's Number One; TAS Lt. M'ress; TNG & [=DS9=] Lwaxana Troi; TNG, [=DS9=], VOY, ENT, ''and'' [=ST2K9=] Computer Voice. (This leaves off ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' and the forthcoming ''Lower Decks'' and Creator/MichelleYeoh SpinOff.)
** ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' had a low budget that led to it using the main actors as guest actors, so Creator/JamesDoohan and the aforementioned Majel Barrett voiced ''almost every guest character'' across the series' run.
** This happened even outside ''Star Trek''. ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' started with Creator/JonathanFrakes and Creator/MarinaSirtis as part of the main cast. By the end of the series, minor and recurring characters were voiced by Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/KateMulgrew, Creator/NichelleNichols, Creator/LeVarBurton, Creator/MichaelDorn, Creator/AveryBrooks, Creator/ColmMeaney, and some others.
*** And it happened again on ''Series/TwentyFour''. Former ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' showrunner Manny Coto joined their staff for Season 6; then Creator/BrannonBraga came onboard for Season 7. That same year they had [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Trip Tucker, Dr. Phlox]] and [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Worf's brother]] in various one- or two-shot guest roles (hapless dock guard, hapless scientist kidnapped by Tony and Sangalan tyrant General Juma, respectively). At least for Season 8 they branched out to some [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 hotshot]] [[VideoGame/WingCommander pilots]]...
*** It happened again in, of all places, ''VideoGame/XCOM2'', specifically the 'War of the Chosen' expansion, where several of them were brought in to voice key members of the new ally factions. Michael Dorn had already appeared in the game in one of the ealier [=DLCs=], providing the 'Warrior' voice set for the customisable SPARK robot soldiers, but 'War' not only saw him brought back again as Skirmisher Pratal Mox, but Creator/DeniseCrosby as Skirmisher leader Betos, Marina Sirtis as Reaper Elena Dragunova, Jonathan Frakes as Reaper leader Volk, and Creator/JohnDeLancie as the Templar leader Geist. Game designer Jake Solomon [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/6wkiqj/were_the_developers_of_xcom_2_war_of_the_chosen/dm8scfa/ insisted]] that [[ImplausibleDeniability it was a total coincidence that so many members of the cast of one of his favourite TV shows were all cast at once]].
** Likewise, ''Leverage'' had several episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' alums in recurring or guest roles include Creator/JeriRyan, Creator/WilWheaton, Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/ArminShimerman and Creator/JohnBillingsley.
** Creator/MichaelDorn once tried to make a film via Website/{{Kickstarter}} called [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/akaworf/through-the-fire-life-after-star-trek ''Through The Fire'']]; basically built upon the idea that fans would like to see Dorn, Creator/MarinaSirtis, Creator/NanaVisitor and Creator/ArminShimerman in something together.
* See something made by Creator/SamRaimi?
** Keep your eyes peeled for Creator/BruceCampbell and Sam's own Oldsmobile Delta 88. TedRaimi will usually have a cameo. Older brother Ivan used to co-write a lot of his screenplays as well. He's also cast Creator/LucyLawless in four different series now ''[[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys Hercules]]'', ''[[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'', ''[[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand Spartacus]]'' and ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'' as well as a cameo in ''Film/SpiderMan1''.
** And more often than not, Rob Tapert (Lucy Lawless's husband) will handle producing duties.
** [[http://beckerfilms.com/ Josh Becker]], who grew up with Sam, Bruce and co. and made Super8 Films with them in their teens worked on The ''Franchise/EvilDead'' Trilogy and Xena and has used the group in some capacity in all but one of his own Indie Films.
** Joseph [=LoDuca=] has scored the ''Evil Dead'' trilogy as well as [[Series/AshVsEvilDead the TV show]] and many TV series Raimi and Tapert produced (''Hercules'', ''Xena'', ''Series/JackOfAllTrades'', ''Series/{{Cleopatra 2525}}'' ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'').
** And cinematography duties are usually handled by Bill Pope, but Raimi has returned to his DP from ''Film/EvilDead2'', Peter Deming from ''Film/DragMeToHell'' and up.
** It appears Creator/JamesFranco is joining the Raimi posse, taking the lead role in ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' after appearing in all three films in the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''.
* Creator/StevenSpielberg has his AssociatedComposer in Music/JohnWilliams (except for ''Film/TheColorPurple'', his segment of ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie'', ''Film/BridgeOfSpies'', and ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne''). He has had the same editor (Michael Kahn) since ''[[Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind Close Encounters]]'' (''Film/{{ET|The Extraterrestrial}}'' being an exception), and the same cinematographer (Creator/JanuszKaminski) since ''Film/SchindlersList''.
* Creator/RobertZemeckis often casts Creator/TomHanks, who he first worked with on ''Film/ForrestGump''. Zemeckis has declared that Hanks is his "favorite actor" and that "there hasn't been a single situation where we didn't see eye to eye. Not one." In the olden days, he frequently found parts, however minor, for Marc [=McClure=] and Wendie Jo Sperber, who were among the leads of his first professional film ''Film/IWannaHoldYourHand''. Yes, they're Marty's brother and sister in ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Music/AlanSilvestri has scored every Zemeckis film since ''Film/RomancingTheStone''. He worked with cinematographer Dean Cundey from ''Film/RomancingTheStone'' to ''Film/DeathBecomesHer'' and from there had Don Burgess as his DP from ''Film/ForrestGump'' up to ''Film/CastAway'', after which he went to performance capture, with Burgess returning for ''Film/{{Flight}}''. He's also secured roles (both voice and live-action) for Creator/CharlesFleischer, most famously as the title character in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.
* Voice director Jack Fletcher (known for Creator/{{Disney}}'s early dubs of Creator/StudioGhibli films, the numbered ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games, ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Fletcher and more]]) seems to work frequently with certain actors, such as Creator/JohnDiMaggio, Creator/SherryLynn, Matt K. Miller, Creator/DebiDerryberry, Creator/RogerLJackson, and Creator/DwightSchultz. ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'' got some attention from fans of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' because it featured the entire main cast from the game (the exceptions being Paula Tiso [Lulu] and Creator/GreggBerger [Jecht]), as well as much of the supporting cast.
* Creator/OttoPreminger had poor working relationships with many of his stars (including Linda Darnell, whom he directed in four films), but he still had a few favorite associates:
** ''Film/{{Laura}}'' stars Creator/GeneTierney and Creator/DanaAndrews became Preminger's favorite actors to cast at Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox. Tierney was Preminger's first choice for Lady Windermere in ''The Fan'', but pregnancy prevented her from taking the part. In the 1960s, Preminger brought them back for a minor role in one film each after their lives had deteriorated, Tierney in ''Film/AdviseAndConsent'' and Andrews in ''Film/InHarmsWay''. Both those last two films also featured Creator/BurgessMeredith, who appeared in four other Preminger films.
** Character actor Gregory Ratoff was a good friend of Preminger from his earliest year at Fox, and appeared in three films directed by Preminger; Preminger also played a small part in one film directed by Ratoff.
** Doro Merande played small parts in four Preminger films, and was also in several Broadway flops Preminger directed.
** More closely associated with Preminger than any actor was Creator/SaulBass, who designed the promotional materials and title sequences for most of Preminger's independent productions, including the Broadway plays ''This is Goggle'' and ''Critic's Choice''.
** Max Slater, a friend of Preminger's since his Vienna years, supervised the dialogue on most of Preminger's later films. He was born Maximilian Schulz, but he changed his last name to that of a character he liked in ''Theatre/TheMoonIsBlue''.
** Ben Hecht did screenplays or rewrites for four Preminger films.
** The cinematography of Preminger's films of the late 1940s through the 1960s was usually but not invariably by either Leon Shamroy or Sam Leavitt.
* Directors Zal Batmanglij, Mike Cahill and actress Creator/BritMarling are ''always'' working together, from their first film to their most recent work, ''Series/TheOA''.
* Creator/DavidMamet's posse includes Rebecca Pidgeon (his current wife), Ricky Jay, Creator/WilliamHMacy, Mike Nussbaum, Joe Mantegna, Creator/EdONeill and Jonathan Katz.
* [[JapanesePopMusic EXILE Tribe]] has a huge group of singers, dancers and actors under it's wings and likes to throw them together in productions, whether they're in-house or not. One of their biggest hits, ''Series/HighAndLow'', seemingly got every one in their staff together in the same show. However there are numerous amounts of shows where multiple EXILE members (the ones with good acting ability) show up in shows and movies together. Example shows/movies are are [[https://mydramalist.com/5480-sugarless Sugarless]], [[https://mydramalist.com/13356-wild-heroes Wild Heroes]], [[https://mydramalist.com/30891-jam JAM]], [[https://mydramalist.com/4613-gto-remake-season-1 GTO Remake]], [[https://mydramalist.com/29046-prince-of-legend Prince Of Legend]], and [[https://mydramalist.com/5116-rokudenashi-blues Rokudenashi Blues]].
* Between 1970 and 1978, old school seiyuu Creator/MinoriMatsushima would usually be casted as a titular or leading protagonist for any animated adaptation of Creator/TakashiYanase' works. Such as ''[[Anime/TheKindlyLion Yasashii Lion]]'', ''[[Anime/TheRoseFlowerAndJoe Bara no Hana to Joe]]'', and ''[[Anime/RingingBell Chirin no Suzu]]''. She was also a regular in some of [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Animations]] animated works between 1977 and 1985.
* Creator/BillLawrence has a tendency to give the stars of one of his shows a recurring or guest role in another. For example, ''Series/SpinCity'''s Creator/MichaelJFox, Creator/AlanRuck, Creator/RichardKind, Creator/MichaelBoatman, Creator/AlexanderChaplin, Creator/BarryBostwick and Creator/HeatherLocklear all appeared on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' at least once, while ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' cast members Creator/ZachBraff, Creator/DonaldFaison, Creator/SarahChalke, Creator/JohnCMcGinley, and Creator/NeilFlynn all voice various minor characters on ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''.
** Unsuprisingly, Creator/ChristaMiller, his wife, is a particular favorite of his. She has main roles in ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' and ''Series/CougarTown'', a prominent recurring role on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', and made guest appearances on two shows Lawrence executive produced: ''Series/{{Undateable}}'' and ''Series/WhiskeyCavalier''.
* In both television and film, Creator/RianJohnson collaborates with cinematographer Steve Yedlin, editor Bob Ducsay, and actors Creator/JosephGordonLevitt and Creator/NoahSegan. Johnson and writer-producer Moira Walley-Beckett also worked closely together on several episodes of ''Series/BreakingBad'', to the point that Walley-Beckett specifically asked for Johnson to direct [[BreakingBadS5E14Ozymandias "Ozymandias"]]; Segan also has an uncredited role as a fireman in that episode.

** And to keep the pattern going, Whedon's feature film ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' stars Amy Acker (again) and Creator/FranKranz (from Dollhouse) and features Creator/TomLenk (from ''Buffy''), while Alexis Denisof (again) and Creator/EnverGjokaj (from Dollhouse) show up in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Creator/JeremyRenner (Hawkeye in ''Avengers'') previously had a bit part in ''Angel'', and Chris Hemsworth (Thor in ''Avengers'') was one of the leads in ''Cabin''.
** Besides Dushku, Glau and Denisof, there are four less-well-known actors (Jonathan Woodward, Jeff Ricketts, Bob Fimiani, Carlos Jacott) who have appeared in three of Whedon's four TV shows.
** This has now started to carry over to shows featuring former alumni who had worked on ''Buffy''/''Angel'', as an episode of ''Grimm'' produced by David Greenwalt had Amy Acker (again!) as a guest star and will have Alexis Denisof as a recurring character. And Creator/TimMinear's short lived show ''Drive'' on FOX starred Nathan Fillion.
** In the season 1 DVD of ''Dollhouse'', there's a whole behind the scenes look at all the cast and crew who return to work with Joss for the show. He's got a production posse that doesn't just act, but also write, produce, shoot, etc.
** In one further unusual take on this trope, an episode of ''Dollhouse'' was directed by John Cassaday, the artist from Whedon's run on ''Comicbook/AstonishingXMen''.
** Actors from Joss productions often appear together even without Joss himself being on scene. In ''Castle'', star Nathan Fillion has often appeared opposite Firefly alums, culminating in "Headhunters", where even the network was promoting the Adam Baldwin/Nathan Fillion reunion. Less well-known is the fact that the Season 2 executive producer was Jose Molina... himself a Buffy and Firefly alum.
** ''Film/MuchAdoAboutNothing2012'' marks the reunion for so many Joss alums that it's pointless to count them. And the movie was filmed ''at Joss's house''.
*** From ''Angel'', Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker play love interests Benedick and Beatrice (no doubt delighting the fans who wished to see them together on the show).
*** From ''Buffy'', Tom Lenk appears as Verges. Riki Lindhome was a guest on the show before appearing in ''Much Ado'' as Conrade. Also, Creator/AnthonyHead was the original choice to play Leonato.
*** Coming from ''Firefly'' are Nathan Fillion as Dogberry and Sean Maher as Don John.
*** ''Dollhouse'' had Fran Kranz, who plays Claudio here, and Creator/ReedDiamond, who plays Don Pedro.
*** ''The Avengers'' had Creator/AshleyJohnson and Creator/ClarkGregg, who ended up taking the part of Leonato after Head dropped out.
** The pilot episode of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' had appearances by J. August Richards (Gunn from ''Angel'') and Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from ''Firefly''); both played the same characters in later episodes of the season. Late in the first season, Amy Acker (YET AGAIN) guest starred as "The Cellist", a person Coulson referred to in ''The Avengers''.
** Even the single episode of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' he directed has this, as he worked with Creator/{{Neil Patrick|Harris}} [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Harris]] in that one.
* Creator/ToeiCompany reuses a lot of the same actors for their {{Tokusatsu}} productions, though few end up taking more than one starring role. Plenty who have starred in one series, however may appear in a minor role in another or vice versa. This usually is regulated to their two ongoing series, ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai''. Notable Toei regulars include Creator/HiroshiMiyauchi, Creator/KenjiOhba, Creator/MachikoSoga, and ThemeTune vocalist Masato Shimon.
* Where Creator/TimBurton is, Music/DannyElfman is sure to follow, and Creator/JohnnyDepp will probably not be far behind. Softer members of the posse include current significant other (Lisa Marie and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter) and Creator/PaulReubens. Creator/ChristopherLee or Creator/ChristopherWalken (or both) could also feature in there. Burton likes his horror vets. Frequently making appearances have been Creator/JeffreyJones, Creator/CatherineOHara, Creator/WinonaRyder, Glenn Shadix and Creator/MichaelGough (who Burton twice pulled out of retirement). In the early days, Creator/MichaelKeaton filled the role that Depp fills now, with starring turns in ''Film/Batman1989'' and ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}''. Early Burton films also had a tendency to feature Creator/DannyDeVito, Jan Hooks and Creator/JackNicholson. One ''Website/CollegeHumor'' sketch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFzLRP8e4vE mocked this accordingly]]:
-->'''Tim Burton:''' Get me Johnny Depp and my wife on the phone!
-->'''Casting Agent''': I can't ever ''not'' do that.
-->''[Casting agent flips open a phone with two giant buttons labeled "Johnny Depp" and "Helena Bonham-Carter"]''
** Helena lampshaded this by posting [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=659024907452123&set=a.193817587306193.47504.154639504557335&type=1 this picture]] on her Facebook page.
* Any given ''Franchise/StarTrek'' TV series is likely to share a significant portion of its crew with any other ''Star Trek'' series. ''Trek'' directors are especially likely to have started out as ''Trek'' actors. They also have a pool of actors that they like to pull from for recurring or one-shot characters, such that there are five actors who have played seven or more different ''Trek'' characters: [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Vaughn_Armstrong Vaughn Armstrong]] (12 characters! 13, if you include that MirrorUniverse character), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Thomas_Kopache Thomas Kopache]] (7), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Jeffrey_Combs Jeffrey Combs]] (9), [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/J._G._Hertzler J.G. Hertzler]] (8), and [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Randy_Oglesby Randy Oglesby]] (7). [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Joseph_Ruskin Joseph Ruskin's]] only got six, but he's got the distinction of having appeared in five ''Star Trek''s.
** Relatedly, a pizza trophy for the late Creator/MajelBarrett, the First Lady of ''Star Trek'', who was involved in ''every version of the franchise'' from its inception in 1966 to her passing in 2009: TOS Nurse Chapel and pilot episode's Number One; TAS Lt. M'ress; TNG & [=DS9=] Lwaxana Troi; TNG, [=DS9=], VOY, ENT, ''and'' [=ST2K9=] Computer Voice. (This leaves off ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' and the forthcoming ''Lower Decks'' and Creator/MichelleYeoh SpinOff.)
** ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' had a low budget that led to it using the main actors as guest actors, so Creator/JamesDoohan and the aforementioned Majel Barrett voiced ''almost every guest character'' across the series' run.
** This happened even outside ''Star Trek''. ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' started with Creator/JonathanFrakes and Creator/MarinaSirtis as part of the main cast. By the end of the series, minor and recurring characters were voiced by Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/KateMulgrew, Creator/NichelleNichols, Creator/LeVarBurton, Creator/MichaelDorn, Creator/AveryBrooks, Creator/ColmMeaney, and some others.
*** And it happened again on ''Series/TwentyFour''. Former ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' showrunner Manny Coto joined their staff for Season 6; then Creator/BrannonBraga came onboard for Season 7. That same year they had [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Trip Tucker, Dr. Phlox]] and [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Worf's brother]] in various one- or two-shot guest roles (hapless dock guard, hapless scientist kidnapped by Tony and Sangalan tyrant General Juma, respectively). At least for Season 8 they branched out to some [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 hotshot]] [[VideoGame/WingCommander pilots]]...
*** It happened again in, of all places, ''VideoGame/XCOM2'', specifically the 'War of the Chosen' expansion, where several of them were brought in to voice key members of the new ally factions. Michael Dorn had already appeared in the game in one of the ealier [=DLCs=], providing the 'Warrior' voice set for the customisable SPARK robot soldiers, but 'War' not only saw him brought back again as Skirmisher Pratal Mox, but Creator/DeniseCrosby as Skirmisher leader Betos, Marina Sirtis as Reaper Elena Dragunova, Jonathan Frakes as Reaper leader Volk, and Creator/JohnDeLancie as the Templar leader Geist. Game designer Jake Solomon [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/6wkiqj/were_the_developers_of_xcom_2_war_of_the_chosen/dm8scfa/ insisted]] that [[ImplausibleDeniability it was a total coincidence that so many members of the cast of one of his favourite TV shows were all cast at once]].
** Likewise, ''Leverage'' had several episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' alums in recurring or guest roles include Creator/JeriRyan, Creator/WilWheaton, Creator/BrentSpiner, Creator/ArminShimerman and Creator/JohnBillingsley.
** Creator/MichaelDorn once tried to make a film via Website/{{Kickstarter}} called [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/akaworf/through-the-fire-life-after-star-trek ''Through The Fire'']]; basically built upon the idea that fans would like to see Dorn, Creator/MarinaSirtis, Creator/NanaVisitor and Creator/ArminShimerman in something together.
* See something made by Creator/SamRaimi?
** Keep your eyes peeled for Creator/BruceCampbell and Sam's own Oldsmobile Delta 88. TedRaimi will usually have a cameo. Older brother Ivan used to co-write a lot of his screenplays as well. He's also cast Creator/LucyLawless in four different series now ''[[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys Hercules]]'', ''[[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'', ''[[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand Spartacus]]'' and ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'' as well as a cameo in ''Film/SpiderMan1''.
** And more often than not, Rob Tapert (Lucy Lawless's husband) will handle producing duties.
** [[http://beckerfilms.com/ Josh Becker]], who grew up with Sam, Bruce and co. and made Super8 Films with them in their teens worked on The ''Franchise/EvilDead'' Trilogy and Xena and has used the group in some capacity in all but one of his own Indie Films.
** Joseph [=LoDuca=] has scored the ''Evil Dead'' trilogy as well as [[Series/AshVsEvilDead the TV show]] and many TV series Raimi and Tapert produced (''Hercules'', ''Xena'', ''Series/JackOfAllTrades'', ''Series/{{Cleopatra 2525}}'' ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'').
** And cinematography duties are usually handled by Bill Pope, but Raimi has returned to his DP from ''Film/EvilDead2'', Peter Deming from ''Film/DragMeToHell'' and up.
** It appears Creator/JamesFranco is joining the Raimi posse, taking the lead role in ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' after appearing in all three films in the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''.
* Creator/StevenSpielberg has his AssociatedComposer in Music/JohnWilliams (except for ''Film/TheColorPurple'', his segment of ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie'', ''Film/BridgeOfSpies'', and ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne''). He has had the same editor (Michael Kahn) since ''[[Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind Close Encounters]]'' (''Film/{{ET|The Extraterrestrial}}'' being an exception), and the same cinematographer (Creator/JanuszKaminski) since ''Film/SchindlersList''.
* Creator/RobertZemeckis often casts Creator/TomHanks, who he first worked with on ''Film/ForrestGump''. Zemeckis has declared that Hanks is his "favorite actor" and that "there hasn't been a single situation where we didn't see eye to eye. Not one." In the olden days, he frequently found parts, however minor, for Marc [=McClure=] and Wendie Jo Sperber, who were among the leads of his first professional film ''Film/IWannaHoldYourHand''. Yes, they're Marty's brother and sister in ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Music/AlanSilvestri has scored every Zemeckis film since ''Film/RomancingTheStone''. He worked with cinematographer Dean Cundey from ''Film/RomancingTheStone'' to ''Film/DeathBecomesHer'' and from there had Don Burgess as his DP from ''Film/ForrestGump'' up to ''Film/CastAway'', after which he went to performance capture, with Burgess returning for ''Film/{{Flight}}''. He's also secured roles (both voice and live-action) for Creator/CharlesFleischer, most famously as the title character in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.
* Voice director Jack Fletcher (known for Creator/{{Disney}}'s early dubs of Creator/StudioGhibli films, the numbered ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games, ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Fletcher and more]]) seems to work frequently with certain actors, such as Creator/JohnDiMaggio, Creator/SherryLynn, Matt K. Miller, Creator/DebiDerryberry, Creator/RogerLJackson, and Creator/DwightSchultz. ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'' got some attention from fans of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' because it featured the entire main cast from the game (the exceptions being Paula Tiso [Lulu] and Creator/GreggBerger [Jecht]), as well as much of the supporting cast.
* Creator/OttoPreminger had poor working relationships with many of his stars (including Linda Darnell, whom he directed in four films), but he still had a few favorite associates:
** ''Film/{{Laura}}'' stars Creator/GeneTierney and Creator/DanaAndrews became Preminger's favorite actors to cast at Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox. Tierney was Preminger's first choice for Lady Windermere in ''The Fan'', but pregnancy prevented her from taking the part. In the 1960s, Preminger brought them back for a minor role in one film each after their lives had deteriorated, Tierney in ''Film/AdviseAndConsent'' and Andrews in ''Film/InHarmsWay''. Both those last two films also featured Creator/BurgessMeredith, who appeared in four other Preminger films.
** Character actor Gregory Ratoff was a good friend of Preminger from his earliest year at Fox, and appeared in three films directed by Preminger; Preminger also played a small part in one film directed by Ratoff.
** Doro Merande played small parts in four Preminger films, and was also in several Broadway flops Preminger directed.
** More closely associated with Preminger than any actor was Creator/SaulBass, who designed the promotional materials and title sequences for most of Preminger's independent productions, including the Broadway plays ''This is Goggle'' and ''Critic's Choice''.
** Max Slater, a friend of Preminger's since his Vienna years, supervised the dialogue on most of Preminger's later films. He was born Maximilian Schulz, but he changed his last name to that of a character he liked in ''Theatre/TheMoonIsBlue''.
** Ben Hecht did screenplays or rewrites for four Preminger films.
** The cinematography of Preminger's films of the late 1940s through the 1960s was usually but not invariably by either Leon Shamroy or Sam Leavitt.
* Directors Zal Batmanglij, Mike Cahill and actress Creator/BritMarling are ''always'' working together, from their first film to their most recent work, ''Series/TheOA''.
* Creator/DavidMamet's posse includes Rebecca Pidgeon (his current wife), Ricky Jay, Creator/WilliamHMacy, Mike Nussbaum, Joe Mantegna, Creator/EdONeill and Jonathan Katz.
* [[JapanesePopMusic EXILE Tribe]] has a huge group of singers, dancers and actors under it's wings and likes to throw them together in productions, whether they're in-house or not. One of their biggest hits, ''Series/HighAndLow'', seemingly got every one in their staff together in the same show. However there are numerous amounts of shows where multiple EXILE members (the ones with good acting ability) show up in shows and movies together. Example shows/movies are are [[https://mydramalist.com/5480-sugarless Sugarless]], [[https://mydramalist.com/13356-wild-heroes Wild Heroes]], [[https://mydramalist.com/30891-jam JAM]], [[https://mydramalist.com/4613-gto-remake-season-1 GTO Remake]], [[https://mydramalist.com/29046-prince-of-legend Prince Of Legend]], and [[https://mydramalist.com/5116-rokudenashi-blues Rokudenashi Blues]].
* Between 1970 and 1978, old school seiyuu Creator/MinoriMatsushima would usually be casted as a titular or leading protagonist for any animated adaptation of Creator/TakashiYanase' works. Such as ''[[Anime/TheKindlyLion Yasashii Lion]]'', ''[[Anime/TheRoseFlowerAndJoe Bara no Hana to Joe]]'', and ''[[Anime/RingingBell Chirin no Suzu]]''. She was also a regular in some of [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Animations]] animated works between 1977 and 1985.
* Creator/BillLawrence has a tendency to give the stars of one of his shows a recurring or guest role in another. For example, ''Series/SpinCity'''s Creator/MichaelJFox, Creator/AlanRuck, Creator/RichardKind, Creator/MichaelBoatman, Creator/AlexanderChaplin, Creator/BarryBostwick and Creator/HeatherLocklear all appeared on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' at least once, while ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' cast members Creator/ZachBraff, Creator/DonaldFaison, Creator/SarahChalke, Creator/JohnCMcGinley, and Creator/NeilFlynn all voice various minor characters on ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''.
** Unsuprisingly, Creator/ChristaMiller, his wife, is a particular favorite of his. She has main roles in ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' and ''Series/CougarTown'', a prominent recurring role on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', and made guest appearances on two shows Lawrence executive produced: ''Series/{{Undateable}}'' and ''Series/WhiskeyCavalier''.
* In both television and film, Creator/RianJohnson collaborates with cinematographer Steve Yedlin, editor Bob Ducsay, and actors Creator/JosephGordonLevitt and Creator/NoahSegan. Johnson and writer-producer Moira Walley-Beckett also worked closely together on several episodes of ''Series/BreakingBad'', to the point that Walley-Beckett specifically asked for Johnson to direct [[BreakingBadS5E14Ozymandias "Ozymandias"]]; Segan also has an uncredited role as a fireman in that episode.
