Fucked up posting this last night so I'm giving it another try..
Father Ted is played by Dermot John Morgan. From his wikipedia:
Another one:
Mark is played by David James Mitchell. From his wikipedia:
Are these just coincidences or is it something else like a kind of karma or willing something into existence? When I posted it (incorrectly) last night, someone mentioned it was meme magic which doesn't seem as ridiculous as it would have before last year. Also, I noticed that the two actors above share the same initials. DJM.
If films and television have this much of an effect on the actors then explain JUST brendan fraser
Mason Young
what did he mean by this?
Jordan Peterson
What's the point of having a beard if you're not gonna be manly?
John Murphy
They think a beard will hide their immasculinity
Gavin Watson
worked for this guy
Matthew Nguyen
You have to be manly as fuck to rape little girls tbqh. Only the hardest of niggas want to go to prison with that kind of rep.

Huh. Well, Jung would have called these synchronicities, by which he meant things that happened without anyone consciously arranging them, but which nonetheless clearly had meaning or a relationship.
If you accept the basic premise of magic, that humans can influence external events through will and imagination, it's possible that what's on our minds might end up affecting physical reality around us. Then again, with enough people interacting, stuff like this is bound to happen sometimes just by chance. Take your pick.

Oliver Diaz
He was German-Swiss
Jaxson Sullivan
(((German)))
Justin Perez
literally mountain jews
Evan Turner
huh, you're right. I always thought he was a kike for some reason
Carson Anderson
It's interesting that you'd bring up Jung as I didn't know about synchronicity as well as his idea of a collective unconscious which seems to be relevant to the OP if we're taking the meme magic road. I'm certainly no expert on Jung's theories so I'll have to do more reading before I talk of it.
Who knows what our minds and our consciousness are capable of? For as long as we've been around, plenty of smart people have spent a lot of time thinking up ideas beyond just what one can grasp within the confines of their senses. This reminds of a buddy of mine who used to joke about getting cancer. If he was having a bad day, he'd say stuff like "Well, I'm sure I'll just end up with cancer next." Or if it was a good day, he say "I'm on a roll so that probably means I have cancer or something to even me out." Dude totally got cancer. Young too. Like in his early 30's. I'm sure plenty of people make similar jokes like that and don't end up with cancer (at least not yet). Just like I'm not saying that every character or event portrayed in fiction becomes reality (at least not yet). But he's the only person I have known joke like that so it's weird that he'd end up with cancer. Actually, now that I think of it, he's the only one I know personally to have gotten cancer. Everyone else has been a story I've heard of a friend's relative or whatever. For my buddy, it's like an extreme version of Physiognomy.
Isaac Gutierrez
perhaps because he is often associated with (((freud)))
Julian Thomas
The ==Can't== Count To Potato from The It Crowd and Father Ted was in Peep Show too?
Nathaniel Garcia
charlie loves the waitress and they are married in real life
Eli Wright
It's the memes.
same
He usually plays sad cunts.
Aaron Cook
Calling it.
Jacob Gutierrez
Also, I should say that the coincidence/meme doesn't have to be an exact manifestation of the character itself. While the Peep Show example seems like the character and the real person are closely tied together, in the Father Ted example, it wasn't his character that suffered the heart attack but the other priest. So it could just be one episode or one scene even that gets meme'd into reality. Much like posts, not every one gets digits. So maybe Charlie will have a long loving relationship with his wife which isn't the case in the show. But instead maybe he actually inherited a nazi uniform in real life from a dead relative or something.
Caleb Edwards
is… is this basically meme magic?
Henry Williams
Jung was an expert on meme magic. You should also check out the video "The Metaphysics of Pepe" by Jordan Peterson, an actual professor in psychology. I'm not going to link or embed it because I'm not a shill.
Xavier Hughes
I like in Potatoland. When Morgan died it was like a national day of mourning.
Angel Thompson
He's the biggest star and no one since has been able to top him.
Aaron Rivera
bump
Brayden Evans
It's funny too because in the Father Ted episode he's in, he's a depressed, suicidal priest that's struggling with self doubt, doubt about life in general and in one scene, cries over losing at a boardgame. Goes nicely with the first two coincidences in the OP.
Cooper Mitchell

Isaiah Price
fucking child abuse. Even if the kid doesn't end up catching the 'tism, she'll most certainly be all sorts of frail and sickly as she grows older.
Jeremiah Long
Women were a mistake.
Levi Allen
Yet you cannot stop masturbating to porn. Don't pretend to be homo either.
Carter Morgan
can confirm. my mom was 39 when I was born, and I ended up with a brain cancer
Bentley Nelson
Junkies can't stop using drugs either yet they might drugs were a mistake.
Justin Jenkins
You also ended up with quads, so in the end, all is balanced.
Ayden Nguyen
There was an episode of News Radio where a fortune teller predicted that Phil Hartman's character would live for something like another 40 years, and he spent the rest of the episode depressed that was going to die.
See the joke was that he was going to live such a long time and die at a ripe old age, get it
Isaac Collins
Mah nigga. Shame half the cast got fucked with alimony,death and mental problems.
