Spoilers for the whole show as a precaution. I will be talking about character deaths and stuff.

I'm almost through Season 3 but I spent all of Season 2 confused AF.

There is an actor that I recognized from a TV show called Raising Hope ( i think that was the name, I keep wanting to call it Raising Arizona.) that played a decently large roll in Season 1. Dude shot and killed Wild Bill. He got beaten down by Charlie Utter IIRC, and Charlie was BFF with Wild Bill. Then he got run out of town.

Second season the same actor shows up again with a different name, and seems to have a good job working for a millionaire. So my thinking was after he was run out of town he grifted his way into a job and started dressing the part. He walks around town and not a single person recognizes him. Somehow he even has the last letter that Wild Bill wrote. He runs into Charlie Utter again and Charlie beats the shit out of this guy. The dude even gives Charlie the letter that Wild Bill wrote. How has Charlie not pointed out that it's the dude who he beat the fuck out of for killing his BFF only (plot wise) less than 2 years before, maybe less.

Turns out it's the same actor playing two different characters. It kind of put a bad stain on season 2 for me because I spent the whole time waiting for the other shoe to drop on this dude and it never did. Now I know why.

I'm not necessarily opposed to the same actor being used twice, but you can't do it when those two characters have some overlapping plot points like they did here.
