And Alex (real name Larry Cedar) was a cast member on PBS' Square One TV.

How old are you? The reason I ask is that I had a similar revelation when Morgan Freeman started popping up in movies.  He sure looked like someone from "The Electric Company" but it wasn't so easy to figure out back before Google!
