JAG (TV series)/Trivia


 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Lots of familiar faces show up on this series, sometimes as more than one character - see You Look Familiar below. Not a surprise, as Donald P. Bellisario is known for bringing back actors he likes in future productions, having done so on his other programs.
 * Kevin Dunn, Sam Witwicky's dad in the Transformers Film Series, is the series' first JAG, Rear Admiral Al Brovo.
 * Babylon 5 actress Andrea Thompson had a recurring role in the first season, while Tamlyn Tomita, Richard Biggs and Jerry Doyle made appearances in later episodes.
 * Bones actress Michaela Conlin appears as a Marine in one episode in Season Nine, "Posse Commitatus", and John M. Jackson and Scott Lawrence later appeared on the same program as Booth's boss and a Voodoo practicioner (though not of the Hollywood Voodoo variety) in post-Katrina New Orleans respectively.
 * Michael and Troyan Bellisario, in addition to being Don Bellisario's kids, appeared here as Mikey Roberts and the daughter of a Naval officer - both would later have roles on NCIS, though as different characters (Chip Sterling and Sara McGee, respectively). A third kid of Bellisario's did even better - Sean "McGee" Murray had two roles, as a Naval ensign accused of raping a Japanese girl  and as the kid of one of Adm. Chegwidden's girlfriends.
 * Dean Stockwell of Quantum Leap was the series' second Secretary of the Navy, Edward Sheffield, reprising a character from another Bellisario program, First Monday.
 * Rex Linn of CSI: Miami makes occasional appearances as a Russian spy reared in Texas. He does a damn good job of hiding his Texan accent when speaking Russian, too.
 * Terry O'Quinn of Lost makes recurring appearances as Thomas Boone, a friend of Harm's father and eventually a Rear Admiral.
 * Adam Baldwin of Firefly and Chuck fame appears as a Navy SEAL in the show's ninth season - he reprises the role on NCIS, making it doubly awesome.
 * Jolene Blalock of Star Trek: Enterprise appears as a Marine in one episode who Bud helps to become an officer. Other Trek alums appear; Andrew Robinson appears twice as a Navy Admiral, Steven Culp is a recurring character in Clayton Webb, while Faran Tahir plays two roles, one in the NCIS pilot episodes.
 * Major League Baseball pitcher Barry Zito appears on an episode as the pitcher of a Navy baseball team who is charged with assault after hitting a Marine player with a pitch in a Navy-Marine baseball game.
 * Jeff MacKay who played Corky in another Bellisario series, Tales of the Gold Monkey, plays Bud Roberts's father Big Bud.
