Columbo/Trivia


 * Hey Its That Guy: Lots, especially for post-70's audiences watching the original series. Notably including Leslie Nielsen pre-pratfall phase and both Spock and Kirk as arrogant murderers.
 * Walter Koenig also appeared as a crime scene detective in the first William Shatner episode.
 * Pat Morita played a butler in Etude In Black
 * Jamie Lee Curtis had a brief cameo in season 5 as a waitress. Just earlier in that same season, Janet Leigh, her mother, played the killer.
 * It's also fun to play this with recurring actors throughout the movies. One person who plays either a random police officer or just a bystander in one episode might be the victim or accomplice in another. Sometimes, as with Dabney Coleman, a police officer in one and then the killer in another.
