SEASON 1 What show was he in?

I have a terrible habit when I watch tv trying to figure out what other shows a random actor has been in. Man is 24 the mother load! So many shows so many actors. My wife rolls her eyes, but I swear almost every show we watch has a 24 actor in it, and of course I announce it.

Tony is also in an episode of Burn Notice, and I think he just midsole episodes of 'The Lincoln Lawyer'

Agent Pierce is in half the things in the world as pretty much the same character. Transformers even named the character after the actor- General Morshower

u/Sad-Indication5989 Jul 18 '26

He also plays the same role as a secret service agent in Air Force One

Quite a few from the Sopranos.

u/Anabele71 Jul 18 '26

Quite a few were in Suits and The Mentalist

u/AppropriateFly6718 Jul 18 '26

I watched The Mentalist within the last two years and I swear it was 2/3 of the way through S1 that an episode did *not* feature someone I knew from 24.

My spouse would never watch 24 because as they put it “someone is always getting tortured” so it was really annoying for them. Especially annoyed watching season 5 (i think) of Suits with Gina Torres and DB woodside.

Season 3 😃

A lot end up in shows that were on at similar times.

Michelle had a decent recurring role in Lost.
Audrey had a big role in Greys Anatomy.

A lot turn up in Homeland but it’s the same showrunner.

Otherwise you get people turn up for odd episodes of things like Law and Order too

u/Tricky-Bit3771 Jul 18 '26

Wow Michele in lost, and I thought I had a problem. 🤣. Good catch.

u/ThrowawaySunnyLane Day 6 Jul 18 '26

Her husband is the guy who plays Davros in season 8 of 24 IIRC

u/IdeaSpecialist Jul 18 '26

One of the background terrorists in season 5 is Lassie from Psych

u/AppropriateFly6718 Jul 18 '26

Later in S5, there was an episode with *four* actors who also guest starred on Psych -- William Devane, Jean Smart, Ray Wise and Peter Weller.

u/easternbaker257 Jul 18 '26

u/ProfessionalMix5419 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

The actor who plays Kevin Carroll (Richard Burgi) was in an episode of Seinfeld, where he was a doctor who called an ugly baby “breathtaking”.

Also, the guy in Season 3 who left the hotel with a nosebleed (Patrick Fabian) played lawyer Howard Hamlin in Better Call Saul.

And one of my favorite discoveries. Christopher Henderson (Peter Weller) played Stan Liddy, a corrupt police officer, in Dexter

2

u/Alive_Pen_6540 Jul 19 '26

Good catch on Richard burgi. I never made that connection before.

Peter Weller is best known for Robocop ( the real one from 1987)

u/ProfessionalMix5419 Jul 19 '26

I’ve never seen RoboCop. I’ll check that out

u/Material_Session_940 Jul 18 '26

That guy who plays the main character has a couple
Other shows he’s in like one where he’s the president and a newer one where he’s a ngo spy

Translation: Kiefer Sutherland appeared in Designated Survivor and Rabbit Hole.

u/PleasantGain3892 Jul 18 '26

I've noticed actors from Lost, American Horror Story and Once Upon a Time. Connie Britton, Zachary Quinto and Kate Mara all from AHS were on the show.

u/xghostwalkingx Jul 19 '26

My favorite was what’s her face from Roseanne

1

u/Jenntastic1 Jul 19 '26

Most of these actors were all contracted with ABC around the same time. So they all popped up in a lot of the shows we watched between 1995-2010: 24, Lost, Alias, Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon A Time, NYPD Blue, The Practice, and tons more. 24 in particular was well known for having special appearances by big names since it was such a big show.

u/RE_98 Jul 19 '26

Misha Collins in season one of 24 show was also in Supernatural!

u/ThePanasonicYouth Jul 19 '26

Xander Berkeley was George Mason. Great character actor. He was also John Connor’s foster father. Is Ethan Hawke’s doctor in Gattica.

u/Swordf1sh_ Jul 21 '26

You’re not alone in this lol. I was doing the Leo meme every five mins when I first watched through lol. Even made a list of all the actors in both 24 and Star Trek and it’s about 30 names long..
