RSSKevin Rahm has a busy week-- this week's familiar faces
Kevin Rahm was Lee the new neighbor who can't like Susan on Desperate Housewives. Among his many roles, he was Kyle on Judging Amy, Dr. Danny Kozak on Jesse, and Joe Hirschoff in the two-part season premiere of CSI last year. You'll also see him this Thursday as a patient on the season premiere of Scrubs. Tuc Watkins is Lee's partner Bob. He was David Vickers on One Life to Live and I'll always remember him as Malcolm Laffley on Beggars and Choosers.
Well we were all thrilled to see Debra Mooney, our beloved Edna on Everwood, as the woman whose fiancé kept falling asleep on Private Practice. Mooney has also been on Boston Legal as a judge and guest starred in the two-part episode of The Closer last December.
Nicholas recognized Jeanette Brox as Monica's co-worker at the burger restaurant on Heroes. Brox was Dex on Jack & Bobby and we saw her last season on Brothers & Sisters as one of the patients in rehab with Justin.
That was Gail O'Grady, best known as Helen Pryor on American Dreams and Donna Abandando on NYPD Blue as the mother of the boy who committed suicide on CSI. She can also be seen as Judge Gloria Weldon on Boston Legal and as Karen Hardy on the oh-so-short-lived Hidden Palms.
Mal recognized Joel Gretsch, Tom Baldwin on The 4400, as Dan's father in Journeyman. Lisa Sheridan, Larkin on Invasion and who we just saw on Moonlight, was the woman Jack was dating.
Ginni recognized Sarah Utterback, who plays Nurse Olivia Harper on Grey's Anatomy, as the ghost who wanted revenge on her stalker on Ghost Whisperer.
DJ has been waiting since the previews to tell me recognized Azura Skye as the patient who saw dead people on House. Skye was Susie on CSI: Miami and Jane in Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane.
Rishi recognized Gwendoline Yeo as the spy on Chuck. Yeo was Xiao-Mei, the maid Carlos had an affair with on Desperate Housewives and Sun Foy in the stellar Broken Trail.
This week's bonus points go to Shella, who correctly remember that Ellen Geer who is played Katherine Mayfair's aunt Lillian Sims on Desperate Housewives was also played the same character last season. She was the nursing home patient Edie convinced not to lease her home so Carlos would have to live with her. I had totally forgotten about that. Where would I be without all of you?
Josh Stamberg was Cliff, Sarah's potential one night stand on Brothers & Sisters. Stamberg was Luke Scott last season on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Stephen on Courting Alex.
I was so happy to see Sarah Gilbert reunite with her Roseanne co-star Johnny Galecki on The Big Bang Theory. David and Darlene remain one of my all-time favorite TV couples. Since her days on Roseanne, we've see Gilbert as Paula on 24, Mitchee on Twins, Jane on ER and Fern on The Class.
How great was it to see John Francis Daley as Bones and Booth's new therapist on Bones. Daley was, of course, Sam on Freaks & Geeks and Jim on Kitchen Confidential.
Nicolas recognized Adam Rose, who plays Dooley on Aliens in America, played Max last season on Veronica Mars.

i don't remember the actress's name, but the woman who played Blah-blah on HIMYM this week was ona episode of Veronica Mars (ep 2, season 2) playing the woman the bus driver had been having an affair with. She was also Doyle's ex-wife in a season 1 episode of Angel.
On Dirty Sexy Money Tish's doctor providing the DNA evidence was Ted Shackelford who will always be Gary Ewing.
On Shark the well groomed Special FBI agent was Jeffrey Nordling who was the sleazy/scruffy editor Brent on Dirt. He was also Lily's ex husband on Once & Again.
I'm pretty sure that the guy who played the Lo Pan character on Chuck this week (the old dude in the wheelchair) also played David Lo Pan in "Big Trouble in Little China", the cl***ic Kurt Russell vehicle from the mid-80s ("You leave Jack Burton alone!").
Yep. imdb.com says I was right. James Hong played Ben Lo Pan in Chuck and David Lo Pan in BTLC.
Azura Skye was also on Buffy as the girl "channeling" Tara in the episode where everyone talked to dead people.
Also, the dude who played Malcolm on "Enterprise" was back on "Heroes" as the Irish traitor. He was also on "Prison Break" an hour earlier as the new inmate.
I also can't remember the actress's name that played Blah-Blah on HIMYM, but she was also the lead actress's on a Lifetime show called Angela Eye's and also on All My Childern.
There were a couple of familiar faces on Friday's "Numb3rs".
Andrea Roth played the Philosophy Professor/Numerology Expert who ***isted on the case. She's best known as Janet on "Rescue Me" (in which, "Numb3rs"' own Diane Farr once starred).
Sharif Atkins played the Marine sniper who's wife was one of the killer's many victims. Atkins played Dr. Michael Gallant on "ER" and John Declan on the short-lived "Hawaii" (Notable, as Atkins' "Hawaii" co-star, Aya Sumika, has a recurring role on "Numb3rs" as the love interest of Rob Morrow's Don Eppes).
Janel Maloney (Donna from The West Wing) is playing a high priced hooker on The Brotherhood on Showtime.....what would Josh think?
Abigail Spencer is the girl you're all trying to think of from HIMYM.
