* Jerry Adler played a police sergeant early in season 2 of ''[[Mad About You]]'', before taking on the recurring role of Mr. Wicker.
* ''[[Boston Legal]]'', despite being a spinoff from ''[[The Practice]]'', featured [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0488662/ John Laroquette] in its last season. John Laroquette also played the serial killer Joey Heric in ''[[The Practice]]''.

* Pick a movie directed by Sam Raimi, any movie. Odds are pretty good his brother Ted will show up somewhere as one of the minor characters, and [[Army of Darkness|in some cases]] several.
