With an ever increasing cast that rivals and pays homage to The Simpsons, this thread is dedicated to finding out what Afro Security Guard has got next on his projects as well as seeing if Johnny, the Tackling Alzheimer's Patient remembers when his next audition is.

Franklyn (Masi Oka) the recurring tech had a hilarious guest role on last night's Without a Trace. (I was only watching because Christina Hendricks was guest starring.)

I saw a preview on a DVD for a movie with Donald Faison in it, it looked to be some sort of romance. Anyway, it was about this successful black woman (Turk said they are not using African American anymore!) Who began dating her white handyman. Turk plays the woman's younger brother who tries to set her up with the perfect black man.

ETA: The title is "Something New." Thanks IMDB!

One of my friends saw it a few weeks ago and said it was surprisingly really good.

I stumbled across Ken Jenkins (Bob Kelso) in a place that I'd totally forgotton about: the 1990's miniseries "The Stand". My wife and I watched the DVD the other day and I was surprised to see him. He plays the father of Molly Ringwalds character.

It was rather odd, actually. He plays a nice, sweet, doomed man there. Almost the anti-Kelso.

I loved Zach Braff's guest shot on Arrested Development as the producer of "Girls With Low Self-Esteem", and another never-nude! "I didn't see you at the convention!"

I agree, I loved it. I was so excited to see my favorite character from my favorite show guest starring on my other favorite show. And I was doubly excited when Jason Bateman guest starred on Scrubs.

Speaking of, did YoSaffBridge ever guest-star on Scrubs? I'm guessing no, but Hendricks seems to be working a lot these days.


Heh. "There is a door."

I was catching the Discovery Channel tonight (one of those nights..) and I caught a very distinctive voice narrating the show. It's a show called Alien Planet, pretty interesting stuff. I remembering watching it a while ago, but only now did it get a "hey, I know that voice!" -- it's none other than our good ol' Johnny C. McGinley.

I just saw Ken Jenkins (Dr. Kelso) as a no-nonsense Texas Ranger in the excellent and underrated gangster movie Last Man Standing, which stars Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken as dueling badasses in a dusty Texas town in the 1920s.

Ken Jenkins also played a priest on the later years of Beverly Hills 90210

Over the weekend, while I was watching Neil Flynn in Mean Girls, I flipped over to Lifetime to watch the end of Love, Lies and Murder and caught none other than Ken Jenkins talking to Sheryl Lee (I think he played one of the lawyers).

Here's what I've seen the main cast in outside of Scrubs(in descending order of quality):

ZB: (tie)Garden State and Arrested Devlopment
SC: Roseanne
DF: Clueless, Remember the Titans, Can't Hardly Wait
NF: The Fugitive, Magnolia, Major League, Mean Girls, Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy, Rookie of the Year, Home Alone 3.
KJ: The Abyss, Courage Under Fire, The Sum of All Fears, Gone in 60 Seconds (remake), I am Sam.
JMc: Office Space, Se7en, Platoon, Born in the Fourth of July, Any Given Sunday, The Rock, Wall Street, Nothing to Lose, Three to Tango, Identity, Summer Catch.
JR: The Sopranos, Bringing Out the Dead, Godzilla.

zekeburger, what role did Judy Reyes play on The Sopranos? I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out, but I can't! Thanks!

Also, I can't place Neil Flynn in Anchorman. Which scene(s) was he in?

According to the IMDB, on the Sopranos Judy was on the episode called From Where to Eternity. She also had a recurring role on Oz - she was married to a prison guard who was blinded by one of the inmates.

(Also according to the IMDB) Neil played a Police Officer in Anchorman but I can't remember his scene either. I'll have to wait until HBO starts showing it five times a day again to try to catch it.

Please don't tell me Neil Flynn was in Anchorman. I didn't want to see it, but if he's there, I just might have to! :(

Did you rank these by quality of the actor's portrayal or quality of the movie? I loved Identity and would rank it behind Office Space -- but Johnny C.'s character wasn't especially memorable.

I was going by the quality of the movie/TV show, not the actor's portrayal.



It's a real small part, so small that he isn't even credited.

I didn't care for Anchorman at all, but damn, it really had an outstanding cast of comic actors (Ferrell, Carell, Rudd, Koechner, Applegate, Parnell, Vaughn, Stiller, Black, AND Neil Flynn!)

Anchorman is the kind of movie that you won't be very impressed by upon the first viewing, but if you watch it a few times, you'll find yourself quoting the movie over and over and over again, and you realize it's actually pretty hysterical. Or at least that's my experience with it. Anyone else? No? Oh well...

No, lulu. I had te same experience. My theory is that when I first saw i I was expecting Will Ferrell to be the funniest. Watched it a second time i realized that Steve Carell and Paul Rudd were much funnier.

Awww, Paul Rudd? And funny Paul Rudd on top of that? Shoot, now I have to Netflix it. ;)

Neil Flynn is playing the dad in the upcoming movie Hoot. In the brief moment I saw him in the theatre trailer, he looked like he was playing the same character he played in Mean Girls--the sympathetic dad to his child that's trying to fit in after they just moved to a new place. He's such a funny guy...I want to see him in a comedy role (other than Scrubs, of course).

Just seen and noticed Johnny C. in Fraiser's 'Seat of Power'. I always wondered why I found this guest star so cute, now I know it's my Dr. Cox. Must say he looks tasty in a tight white t-shirt and tight jeans. Oh, and of course, funny too.

I've seen Johnny C. in so many roles similar to the guest spot he had on Frasier - the snarly, bitter mean guy. He's the guy you love to hate. Cox seems like that kind of role on the surface, but there's so much more to him. I gained a great deal of respect for McGinley when I started seeing him in more varied roles - especially our Coxy.

Neil Flynn

I was watching That 70s Show the other day (I don't know episode titles) but the kids are trying to get into a club and he is the bouncer. They convince him to let them in after he tells a very Janitoresque (and therefore obviously Neil Flynnesque) story about never being picked as "the Gooose" when Playing duck, duck goose. I believe he had on a blond wig and I first recognized his voice.

There is a surprisingly good comedy-drama from the early '90s called Article 99, about renegade doctors fighting an uncaring bureaucratic administration in an underfunded veterans' hospital. Johnny C. is in it (playing a doctor, natch), as part of a great cast that includes Ray Liotta, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), Marty McFly's hot mom (Lea Thompson), Frasier's dad (John Mahoney), and Detective Kavanaugh from The Shield (Forest Whitaker).

Neil Flynn was in an episode of Smallville. He played the father of a Krypto-freak little girl that had murderous tendencies. Not a very good episode.

Christa Miller Lawrence is on the episode of Seinfeld that's on TBS right now -- she tells George that, for all she cares, he can "drape" himself in velvet. Hee.

Huh, in my head I remembered it being Susan (Heidi Swedberg) that told him that...

Well, you said it was an episode of Smallville, so your later disclaimer is redundant.

Yeah, yum! I watched that one yesterday, and I loooooved the little two-part whistle he used to get Niles's attention. It's the same one he uses on Scrubs! :)

Holy Crap! Franklyn's gonna have superpowers! From thefutoncritic:The new series is called "Heroes"

NBC's long trailer for "Heroes" is up and it's a pretty awesome trailer. It looks like they've got a bit of a teaser for just about every major character of the show (big cast) so Masi Oka's in there too.

I saw the preview for Zach Braff's new movie, The Last Kiss, last night (becore Click) and...well, I'll say this. If you liked Garden State, you'll like it. If you thought it was slightly boring and pretentious (like I did), this looks the same. Anyone else seen it?

Saw Donald Faison on an episode of Sabrina the other day, I'd forgotten that he was on that show occasionally, I think Sabrina even had to choose between him and her boyfriend, or I'm thinking of someone else. Anyways, he was auditioning for the part of a magician's assistant and wasn't very detered by the fact that he would need to wear a sequined outfit.

I saw the same preview before Brick and I felt the same way. In fact, I believe I turned to my companion and said it was time for Zach to stop making the same movie. We already had to deal with Ed Burns and Eric Shaeffer doing that in the 90s.

I saw Garden State and all I could think of while watching was could this movie BE anymore depressing? Never watching that again.

I'm hoping this new movie he's in will be better. It can't be any worse than GS.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing The Last Kiss. Besides the fact that I'm easy when it comes to Zach Braff it looks bittersweet.

I still can't get over DF as Murray in Clueless telling Dee that he shaved his head cause he's "keeping it real". LOL.

This cracks me up to this day. I'm not sure why.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Christa Miller on "The Drew Carey Show". An all-time great if you ask me.

Also, Judy Reyes played a recurring role on the HBO show "Oz." I get nauseous just thinking about that show.

It's depressing, not bad, snowfall. It's haunting, and it sticks with you.

Sometimes you need a good kick of reality after seemingly countless "happily-ever-after" chick flicks.

Donald Faison.

He was playing a boy band member from a boy band called DuJour in the movie Josie And The Pussycats. The band also featured Seth Green and Breckin Meyer.

Turk in a boy band. Who knew?

Johnny C. has a guest-spot in an episode of The Boondocks called "The Reality." I just happened to remember because it was replayed just the other night. He plays a government agent who may or may not be merely a figment of Huey's imagination.

I was flipping past Cinemax yesterday (pre-porn hours, really!) and saw Donald's sweet face in King's Ransom. Didn't stick around to watch it, but he was a valet talking to a woman who was acting all ditzy and was throwing around the sexual innuendos (The Todd: in your endo!).

Neil Flynn guest-starred briefly in the final two episodes of Joey, which have yet to air in North America but recently saw the light of day here in New Zealand. The network wisely chose to promote them using Flynn's work.

Yes, now you have to watch Joey should NBC ever choose to burn off those episodes.

I love Neil Flynn's work, but the only way I'm ever watching Joey again is if they end it by having Chandler run out on Monica to reunite with his one true love.

Gah. LOVE the song used in the trailer for The Last Kiss. Zach Braff also compiled the soundtrack for the movie so whether or not you liked GS, the soundtrack was ten kinds of awesome.



Gah! Cannot believe I hadn't made the connection til now. Thanks, maddog162

Really? Sure, it was dark in places, but I found it ultimately hopeful. Braff's character is very deeply loved by at least two people; he is able to recognize it, and in the end, he does get his girl. (I wasn't sure, just for a moment, that it would end that way. Even though I *have*, you know, seen movies before.)

(OT: You want depressing? Go watch Breaking The Waves. Wait; on second thought, don't.)


Hee! Aw, the chick and the duck could have their family back together!

I just got the complete series of Clone High. It's chock full of Scrubs-cast goodness (produced by Bill Lawrence and guest starring EVERYBODY). Things to look out for-- ZB as Paul Revere and DF as Toots.

Clone High is brilliant! Donald is also George Washington Carver, and one of JFK's two gay dads. And it sounds like Bill Lawrence plays the General.

Oh man, I just saw the Heroes pilot. Masi Oka was amazing! You need to check it out when it airs this fall, the kid can act!
