Sometime in Season 2 (I think), one of the defence attorneys was played by Jerry Orbach, best known as Detective Briscoe on...erm...Law & Order. This seems to happen a lot on US TV shows - when they need an actor for a new character, somebody thinks "hey, mind that guy we had on for one episode that we all liked? Let's get him back." I can reel off 10 Star Trek examples off the top of my head. Vaughn Armstrong played (I think) 12 different characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just US TV. Alec Norton has been a baddie on at least 2 separate occasions in Taggart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just a nipper when it was broadcast so didn't realise until years later that it featured before they were famous Bob Hoskins and Martin Shaw amongst others...
