Have you noticed that a lot of the same actors have appeared in the Edgar Wright films that make up the Cornetto Trilogy (or, more unofficially, the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy): "Shaun of the Dead" (2004), "Hot Fuzz" (2007) and "The World's End" (2013)? And we don't just mean those lovable scamps Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
It's all one big acting family for the Cornetto gang, as illustrated below in our handy infographic. Besides Pegg and Frost, Martin Freeman, Rafe Spall, Julia Deakin, Kevin & Nick Wilson and even Bill Nighy (who has a voice cameo in "The World's End") appear in all three films, with Reece Shearsmith, Michael Smiley, David Bradley and James Bond* appearing in two.
*We're not gonna explain that joke. It's yours to get, or to figure out.

London -- Channel 5 continued its executive clear-out Tuesday with the departure of long-time director of children's programming Nick Wilson and head of news Chris Shaw, who has been with the channel since its launch in 1997.
The departures are part of a voluntary redundancy program which will eventually see around 25% of the staff leave the station under new owner Richard Desmond, whose publishing empire Northern & Shell acquired the station in July.
Seven of Channel 5's nine senior directors were given notice within weeks of Desmond's acquisition, while chief executive and chairman Dawn Airey will leave later this month for a post at European broadcaster Rtl Group, which sold the loss-making channel.
