Jeremy Piven was also the checkout clerk in the drugstore in Singles when Steve was buying the pregnancy test. He talked about mixing Public Enemy and Elvis Costello, then looks at the PT and says "Of course you may be busy."

[/ QUOTE ]

He was also one of the sailors John Cusack hustled at dice in The Grifters. Actually, he has been in a lot of John Cusack movies, but that's not a huge surprise since they're reportedly pretty good friends.

Speaking of the Cosby Show (sort of), Marisa Tomei was one of Lisa Bonet's roommates in the Cosby Show spinoff, A Different World.

Some more from Seinfeld:

Denise Richards is the president of NBC's 15 year old daughter and George is busted staring at her cleavage.

Stiflers' mom (real name?) is Jerry's masseuse girlfriend who wont give him a massage.

Some more nominations:

Bradley Whitford is in Revenge of the Nerds II.

Locke from Lost is Luke Wilson's boss in Old School.

Adam Sandler was also on the MTV game show Remote Control before SNL.

Peace,

KennyBanya
