I'm A Doctor, Not A...No Wait, I Am A Doctor

So to add to our ever growing list of actor crossovers between all these great shows we all watch, I would like to submit John Billingsley. He played a doctor at Wolfram & Hart in Season 5 of Angel, 3rd episode (the werewolf one). This episode aired on UPN less than a month after the premiere of Enterprise, in which John Billingsley stars as Doctor Phlox. The characters share mannerims, even looks (although he is an alien on Enterprise, but his hair is the same and everything). The only difference is the doctor on Angel is evil. Coincidence? I think not. Perhaps a homage to another UPN show that had just aired?

Gina Torres: Anna Espanoza on Alias, Zoe on Firefly, Jasmine on Angel, and also season 2 of 24.

Daniel Dae Kim: Gavin on Angel, also on 24, and soon to be on Lost.

Nathan Fillion: Caleb on Buffy, Capt. on Firefly.

Jonathan Woodward: Knox on Angel, Holden on Buffy, and also on Firefly.

Mole on face guy from season 3 premiere of Buffy-also on episode Bachelor Party of Angel, and Firefly.

D'Hoffryn from Buffy, also scary doctor guy with detachable hands on Angel, and on Firefly.

Maggie Walsh from Buffy, and on Alias.

Eric Balfour: Jesse in Welcome to the Hellmouth on Buffy, also on 24.

that's all i can think of right now-oh, other than Enisign Ro from Star Trek tng, is also on 24.

ok, that's all-I'm sure I'll think of more soon.

I haven't seen Firefly or 24, but thanks for the list. Now if you want to bring Star Trek into the mix, I could really go on. There are several actors that have portrayed several characters on Star Trek (Jeffrey Combs, James Cromwell, Brent Spiner, etc.) but the big one you 24 watchers can relate to is Penny Johnson, who played Kassidy Yates (Sisko) on Deep Space 9.
