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.

I was doubly excited when Jason Bateman guest starred on Scrubs.

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.

[okmom]

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

[M. Darcy]

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).

[zekeburger]

ZB: (tie)Garden State and Arrested Devlopment

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.

[lulu519]

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?

[M. Darcy]

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! :(

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.

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.

[bigbadvoodoolou]

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!)

[lulu519]

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...

[raspberrytea]

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.

[RainIsBeautiful]

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).

[Tinted]

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.

[Sandman]

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.

[bigbadvoodoolou]

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.

[RainIsBeautiful]

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.

[Bruinsfan]

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.
