Line 48:
** [[Zachary Quinto]] was on an episode as a mechanic before ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' or ''[[Star Trek]]''. {{spoiler|He didn't do it.}}
** CSI is very guilty of casting actors that are go-to TV bad guys as the eventual killer. It's pretty simple to pick out whodunnit if you've watched enough TV (especially 90's dramas like the X-Files). More than once they've cast two "that guy" actors in an episode, and more likely then not they both did it.
** Pretty much everyone who was in any way interested in ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'', knew that Nathan Kress' appearance on CSI was as a bad guy.
** Averted again in "Rashomama" when Ray Wise, who has played [[Twin Peaks|a killer]] and [[Reaper|the Devil himself]] was only a suspect for a short time. The same episode also had soap opera actress Rachel Miner and [[Big Love]] star Amanda Seyfried. Which, if either of them did it? Well, {{spoiler|they both participated, with help from two others.}}
** Two episodes with [[Justin Bieber]] as a [[Mad Bomber]] who really likes Nick. {{spoiler|He dies in a shootout}}
Line 144:
* ''[[Lie to Me (TV series)|Lie to Me]]'' had [[Oz|Beecher]] as the perp in the second season finale.
* Averted in ''[[The Closer]]'', [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Connor Trinneer]] plays one of the suspects but is quickly cleared within the first scene he appears in.
* ''[[The Inside]]'' was pretty bad about this for its short run. [[Lost|William Mapother]], [[Kill Bill|Michael Bowen]] [[Aliens|Jenette Goldstein]], [[Die Hard|Hart Boecher]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Amber Benson]].... {{spoiler|Averted in one episode, where master of scary characters [[Damages|Zeljko]] [[24|Mother]] [[Oz|Frakking]] [[Heroes (TV series)|Ivanek]] is an innocent nice guy who just doesn't know how to defend himself properly. The killer? [[ICarlyiCarly|Jeanette McCurdy]].}}
* ''[[Castle]]'' did this once or twice, with [[Scrubs|Carla]] starring as the perp in one episode, and another person playing a... suspect (but not the killer) in another. (Names and ep. titles would be appreciated)
** Also been subverted quite a bit as [[Star Trek: Voyager|Robert Picardo]], Debi Mazar, [[The Simpsons|Dan Castellaneta]] and [[Pulp Fiction|Phil LaMarr]] have all popped up as being allies rather than killers.

* [[Names to Know Inin Anime|Johnny Young Bosch]] as [[Persona 4|an insignificant bumbling rookie detective]]? American fans of Japanese media didn't buy it. {{spoiler|Yep, he did it.}}
