The barflies' names are Sam and Larry. Larry is the one with the trucker hat.

You're welcome.

He also played a colonel or some other military figure in one West Wing episode as far as I remember. But West Wing is ripe of memorable cameos and short stints of all kinds of people anyway.

And he was the shadowy nth-level villain on season two of 24.

The Seinfeld episode where Mr. Costanza has his Al Roker TV Guide taken by Elaine, well that creepy guy who cuts it up? Ted the Lawyer from Scrubs.

Including Terry O'Quinn as General Alexander and Christian Slater as Jack Reese.

ETA: Looking up the character names I realized that Hal Holbrook (who was one of the men they wanted to play Bartlett) played Albie Duncan. I feel shame for never having recognized him.

Not really relevant to anything, but David Cross is dating Amber Tamblyn. Holy shit. I am at once in admiration and completely jealous.

"Amber Cross" sounds like a bad fantasy novel.

So I got Band of Brothers for Christmas. I gave it a spin yesterday and beside being absolutely hooked already after one episode, what kind of glory do I have to encounter? Simon Pegg pops up!

Now if you excuse me, I have some DVDs to watch.

Julie Benz is apparently no stranger to horror. One of her earliest roles was as Darla, a sadistic vampire in Buffy Season 1.

Despite being on the air for almost 15 years, MAD TV has yet to produce ONE breakout star.

Well, Orlando Jones and Frank Caliendo have nudged the envelope, but then again, becoming the 7-Up spokesman and making fun of Terry Bradshaw probably can't be considered "breaking out".

Not to mention continuing that role over several memorable seasons of Angel.

I'm amazed that in the last decade there were people who looked at Benz and didn't immediately think of Darla.

I think you're vastly overestimating the number of people who watched "Buffy" and "Angel".

Well, next to the number of "people who know who Julie Benz is and put some thought into it," I assumed it'd be comparable.

I always thought that was such a missed opportunity for them. They could have kept the format but moved away from the trappings of counter-terrorism. And we wouldn't have gotten Tom Hanks' hair.

"Doublemeat Palace" is such a weird episode. It's really bad, kinda boring, and every time I see it on TV, I stop and watch to the end.

Quality, B-list film directors like John Dahl and Brad Anderson have been directing episodes of some of my favorite genre shows. Dahl directed Battlestar Galactica's "The Oath," as well as episodes of Dexter, Californication, True Blood, Life, and United States of Tara. Anderson directed two of the best episodes of Fringe, "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones" and "The Transformation."

Anyone notice any other film directors dabbling in TV? Masters of Horror doesn't count.

Just came here to post this. Good thing I scanned the thread first.

Never understood why Nicole Sullivan never broke out. She was cute on Mad TV, and once she joined King of Queens, she became a total hottie.
