Thought I would get something going here. On the latest episode of CSI:NY, original air date (March 8, 2006). These were some of the guest stars I spotted. Brian Bloom, 80's hottie, was the Dr. As someone already metioned Lucas from Days of our Lives was the one lawyer (sorry don't know the actor's name), and the fashion hunter guy who killed the other guy with the swing, used to be on Head of the Class. He also used to be a lot cuter. If I missed someone or got something wrong, sorry.

Well, just last week (March 1) there was the guy from Judging Amy who was also recently nominated for an Oscar for writing a screenplay IIRC. On CSI:NY he played the chef who makes meals out of insects, octupi, and other dead or alive creatures and killed a woman with an octupi because she previously bankrupted him by suing him which she did often.

Brian Bloom also played the character on Oz who was killed by Keller while giving him a blowjob. Ah, Oz.

And you can't forget the DeLuise brothers. Michael and David have both played bad guys, and I'm just waiting for Peter to show up.

Zoned Out, I don't think that's right. The guy that was nominated for the Oscar was Dan Futterman (he wrote Capote). He was originally on Judging Amy, left the series, and then came back.

His replacement was Kevin Rahm. He was the exotic food chef. He was also on Joan of Arcadia.

You're right nerdyduck. I only watch Judging Amy in reruns when I'm on my lunch break, so I guess I got my JA stars mixed up. Thanks for clarifying though. :)

Didn't the actress who played hooker from yesterday's episode also play Jan Brady in the 2 Brady Bunch movies?

I think you're right! I knew I recognized her from somewhere.

Sweet then I'll ask another question. A couple weeks ago, there was that episode with the football player that gets killed with a shot to the neck from a pump. The ME that did his autopsy, isn't that the guy that played Spenser on 24 earlier this season? The first mole?

Hmm, I keep posting here. Eion Bailey from the season finale was also in [i]Buffy[/], season 1, in the episode The Pack. Or... was that season 2? So, we could start playing 6 Degrees of Carmine.

And we also had Justin Hartley from Smallville, Aquaman and at least one american soap, as a tennant in one ep. I only remember because he was wearing nothing but a towel in the entire scene. Also Macs' late wifes' son is played by fellow Smallville guest Kyle Gallner, who is also known for playing Beaver on Veronica Mars.

Amy Davidson played the rollerskating accomplice in Past Imperfect but is probably best known as Kerry Hennessey on 8 Simple Rules... (and checking out her entry on IMDB, she's also way older than I thought).

lostdwarf, The Pack was Season 1 of Buffy

We also have the amazingly gorgeous, even to me. Kelly Hu, as Flacks partner (cop only) In the Mrs Robinson episode with the Doll Hospital.

In preparation for an upcoming Survival Game, I looked through the episode press releases on The Futon Critic and compiled a list of names that looked familiar to me. I came up with way too many names for one game, so kudos to Zoned Out for whittling the list down.
