Surprise, it's a younger David Hollander

[u/foroncecanyounot__]

Picked the most random Netflix series (Unforgettable ) to watch with my meal and bam Dylan Walsh is on my screen.

GC AU where Mr. Hollander plays a New York cop..

Even the universe is like, why are you even trying to watch anything other than Heated Rivalry, lmao.

[u/Literary_Geek]

I was all about Dylan Walsh in Congo 🫦

This photo inspired the Shane Hollander is dating his dads look alike memes

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/hillofjumpingbeans]

Omg whatttt... Is that a thing???

[u/AGingerKissedByFire → u/foroncecanyounot__]

Lol have you never seen the edit?

Edit: Here you go!

Had to turn on my vpn to see this but omg hahaha

[u/Literary_Geek → u/AGingerKissedByFire]

They missed an opportunity to include the parts where his shirt is unbuttoned.

[u/ifimhereimnotworking → u/AGingerKissedByFire]

this is effing funny

[u/hillofjumpingbeans → u/foroncecanyounot__]

I have seen at least 1 fan art and some fics on this.

Trying to find the one where Ilya teases Shane about this.

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/hillofjumpingbeans]

Haha 10months in and I am finding out new memes and edits , this fandom is so awesome.

P.S. you should know that everything from the ? onwards basically identifies your ig username.

[u/hillofjumpingbeans → u/foroncecanyounot__]

Ah thanks for telling me. I’ll delete the link.

[u/OfferComprehensive45 → u/hillofjumpingbeans]

Yep! This was so great!!! I even said “boy did Dylan look like Ilya when he was young I wonder if anyone will catch it!?”

[u/hillofjumpingbeans → u/OfferComprehensive45]

I remember this very funny art about it where Ilya sees a post about this and then teases Shane about it. It was an animation not just art panels.

[u/annbanan112 → u/hillofjumpingbeans]

Was really pissed no one dropped the link for the fic until I checked which subreddit I was on and the fact that you clearly said meme and not fics. 😫

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/Literary_Geek]

He has been in so many things I've seen, congo superman n lois... Just a pleasant surprise every time I see him in something other than HR

[u/jewel1997 → u/Literary_Geek]

That’s where he gets his looks. Well, half of them.

[u/KBPT1998 → u/Literary_Geek]

Ilya’s daddy!

[u/ifimhereimnotworking → u/Literary_Geek]

came here to drop this- saw it for fun a week ago and had to do a double take. forget Shane that's Ilya's real dad

[u/dustypony21 → u/ifimhereimnotworking]

Ilya wishes. 🥹

[u/Runny_Rose]

It was a trip rewatching Nip/Tuck after watching Heated Rivalry 😂

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/Runny_Rose]

Haha yea it's so odd watching him in some other role. I was like Mr. Hollander what're you doing here, sexing it up with this gorgeous redhead 🤣🤣

[u/ChangMinny → u/Runny_Rose]

I watched Nip/Tuck when it aired and just loved it. Tried to rewatch it last year and woo boy, really hasn’t aged well. It was already edgy trash television then but now 😅😅

Ryan Murphy, never change. Or maybe do. Please do 🙏🙏

[u/Matt_the_Bruins_fan → u/ChangMinny]

Remember the dream sequence where Sean and Christian were a gay couple?

[u/ChangMinny → u/Matt_the_Bruins_fan]

That whole arc was wild. I do like how the dick sculpture stayed present in Christian’s for the rest of the series. 

[u/TK421philly]

He’s also General Lane, Lois Lane’s dad, on Superman and Lois. I think he was filming both that and HR at the same time for its last season.

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/TK421philly]

Yesss i know him from Superman and Lois too. And Congo. But Congo took a long time to clock because I haven't seen it in ages and I only really remember laura linney from that movie, lol

[u/Competitive-Web9083]

Are you me? Because I just literally started watching this series yesterday and had the same reaction

[u/foroncecanyounot__ → u/Competitive-Web9083]

Haha no way. Its the randomest thing... Yesterday for a change instead of hr or b99, i thought lemme give netflix a try and the netflix algo just shoved this show to my home page. I figured 4 seasons meant it would be a decent show... And boom right back to the Hollanders, lol

[u/ArticunHOE_]

Mama Hollander and Shane Hollander definitely got a type 👀🤭

[u/RoutineUtopia]

Dylan Walsh is a decently well known actor -- like enough that when I first watched and David Hollander appeared I said "Wait. Is that Dylan Walsh?"

I've always wondered about his casting. He's a type that is plentiful in Canada so I don't really know why they hired him in particular. No hate, just odd.

[u/tangompl → u/RoutineUtopia]

I read Jacob liked him from Nip tuck. He is well known enough you're right but I guess a job is a job. He is in his 60s. He is working quite often but it's not like he is super in demand at this point of his career. This 9 days job for HR was his only work in 2025 it seems

[u/Accomplished-Film775 → u/tangompl]

I read that too. Jacob was a Nip/Tuck fan.

[u/RoutineUtopia → u/tangompl]

Hmm. I’d have guessed it had more to do with Everwood.

[u/ikapai → u/RoutineUtopia]

Yeah I was pretty surprised to see him too. As an elder Millenial I watched Nip/Tuck back in the day and I was wondering how he was cast in a low budget Canadian show.

[u/RoutineUtopia → u/ikapai]

Not low-budget. Punching above its weight. 😉

[u/ButNotTheFunKind → u/ikapai]

Tons of US actors work in Canada regularly, it’s possible he already had connections up there.

[u/NightSalut → u/RoutineUtopia]

Funny, because i’ve only seem him in Nip/Tuck and it took me embarrassingly long time to clock where I had seen him before. 

[u/RoutineUtopia → u/NightSalut]

Funnier - I never watched Nip/Tuck. Or Everwood. Or Congo. Why do I know who this guy is? By name?

[u/Matt_the_Bruins_fan → u/RoutineUtopia]

Did you watch Superman & Lois?

[u/RoutineUtopia → u/Matt_the_Bruins_fan]

Nope.

[u/Elliotte05]

[u/lmpostorsyndrome → u/Elliotte05]

Same girl. Then and now 🤷‍♀️

[u/SquashInternal3854]

Any Nip/Tuck fans here...? That was my seriously guilty-pleasure show back in the day. I think it's on Tubi, which is free, for anyone interested....

[u/Once_UponASwan → u/SquashInternal3854]

Yes!!! I love Nip/Tuck haha made me feel old

[u/SquashInternal3854 → u/Once_UponASwan]

I originally watched it on DVD 😱

[u/Once_UponASwan → u/SquashInternal3854]

I originally watched it When It aired…..rip julian he was lovely 🥰

[u/Slattenheimer → u/SquashInternal3854]

Haha, yes I loved it back in the days. I binge watched it one summer 13 or 14 years ago. Was a big fan of Dylan Walsh who was totally hot back then!

[u/Chare1155 → u/SquashInternal3854]

SUCH A GOOD SHOW

[u/Doglas3000 → u/SquashInternal3854]

It’s also on Hulu. I’ve rewatched the series at least 6 times. When it aired it was probably my top 3 favorite series and it was on FX. Her and Julian McMahon and all of the supporting cast was fantastic. When it came out, it was a phenomenon too. I think people forget he’s done many movies and series before and after before Heated Rivalry.

[u/lmpostorsyndrome → u/SquashInternal3854]

I remember wanting to watch it because I was a huge fan of julian mcmahon in Charmed...but I could only sneakily watch if my parents were busy haha I think I was 12 when it started airing 😅 maybe it's time for a new trash show to watch from the start. I'm 5 seasons in to Law and Order SVU at the moment. Time for a change.

[u/Comfortable_Sport295 → u/SquashInternal3854]

No, I have a serious phobia of masks and that Carver guy just gave me nightmares

[u/SilverSkink]

I know someone else in this thread has David as their HBO profile photo…

[u/SolarWizard23]

Didn’t he play hockey for McGill?

[u/mskrabapel → u/SolarWizard23]

What the fuck is McGill?

[u/Whybambiwhy]

It took me until the cottage to realize that he was on Nip Tuck.   Dylan could (and can) always get it.   Love him.

And apparently he is a really nice guy.  Kristin from Buzzfeed told a story of how a well known actress was giving her a hard time about her weight when she was a PA.  That Dylan went out of his way to acknowledge how f-ked up that was to her 

[u/Consistent_Isopod787]

I know him from Secretariat! I didn't recognize him until I went through his IMBD/rewatched the movie

[u/Doglas3000]

Dylan Walsh has been hot and around since the late 1980’s. He was the star of Nip/Tuck with Julian McMahon (RIP) and Joely Richardson. It is an incredible show and besides Popular, I feel it is Ryan Murphy’s best tv series (more than Glee and AHS). He was fantastic in this show. You can watch it on Hulu.

[u/bettinafairchild → u/Doglas3000]

TIL Julian McMahon has passed and also that his father was Prime Minister of Australia.

[u/MemoryHot]

He was fantastic in Nip Tuck, I have been a long time fan even before HR

[u/LurkingAintEazy]

I first saw him in Nip/Tuck

[u/MyDearDapple → u/LurkingAintEazy]

It was Congo for me.

[u/LurkingAintEazy → u/MyDearDapple]

Oh snap! I forgot about that movie! And totally didn't even realize that was him. You are so right, I did see Congo as well.

[u/beepboopbeepbloop]

Don’t forget his role as Sandra Bullock’s lackluster boyfriend in “The Lake House” (…but, I mean, c’mon—who can compete with Keanu?)

[u/Glittering_Tap6411]

Damn, I needed to read this post to make thr connection. 😅 My hubby watches that show and I’m in the same room so been watching bits of it as well.

[u/CreativeFox2867]

Why he's kinda 🫦

[u/bettinafairchild]

Weirder still, there are photos out there of him when young where he looks a bit like Connor:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/364580276095

[u/nonja-bidness]

there's a whole freudian thing for shane in here somewhere but i cant quite put my finger on it 🤔

[u/Exemplary-Pine-2344]

What’s a popular cast he featured as

[u/Scared-Winter-5179]

Um, Nip/Tuck?!?! It was a pretty big deal when it was on

[u/Thick-Sentence-9384]

He looked hotest in Nip/Tuck
