Matthew Perry was in a few episodes of Growing Pains. I seem to recall that he died in a car accident while drunk driving in a "very special episode".

Okay, I'll take a shot...

Was watching "Tombstone," the one where Kurt Russell is Wyatt Earp.

He kicks out a dealer ("You're in my seat") from a Faro parlor, smacks him around. A chubbier Billy Bob Thornton.

thornton was also in Indecent Proposal (i didn't know that until i just saw it on HBO)

If I was a moderator, I'd likely ban you for this atrocious contribution to the thread.

It seems like that is like the only type of character he played before "24".

This doesn't technically count, but my personal favorite, and one you wouldn't expect, especially from the younger lurkers on the forum is Jerry Orbach aka Lenny Briscoe of Law and Order was the voice of Lumiere the candlesticks in Beauty and the Beast. He sang the catchy "Be our Guest."

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I had no idea that was him before seeing the credits.

More L&O trivia, Orbach played a lawyer in season 1 (he joined the cast as a cop in season 3).

The actress who played Lt. Van Buren was a victim (or a relative of a victim, I forget) in an early episode.

The Executive DA in L&O: Criminal Intent was a criminal in an episode of L&O (he actually had a really prominent role in that episode).
