That's fair though, I had to check as I thought she looked nothing like the young becky. Turns out she was a replacement Becky and later changed back to the old one again.

he´s quite well-travelled is Dr.Cox I´ve seen him pop up in a lot of stuff. The guy who plays Dr.Turk has a bundle of roles in The Boondocks. Among them, the ´harvard educated´director of BET Wedgie Rudlin in the 2 episodes of Season 2 that they weren´t allowed to air in the states. Also as Tobias in The Story of Catcher Freeman. Dissapointly, he´s not related to The Wire actor who shares his surname.
Whilst on the topic of people doing cartoon voice work and sitcoms. The voice of Leela from Futurama is in a bundle of lame US sitcoms as the mother including Married with Children and 8 Simple Rules. Don´t google her if you don´t want Futurama ruined a bit ...

Nicolas Cage in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
He's in loads of stuff a favourite of Oliver Stone, himself, Johnny Depp, and Matt Dillion have minor parts in Platoon.
You're kidding right? Kately Siegal is much more famous for married with children than futurama. Hell the season 2 futurama episode A Bicyclops Built for Two, is a parody of married with children

Lets not go nuts now.
No, but easy mistake to make, balding loud obnoxious New Jersey types are easy to mix up.

And also the 'skinhead in a Capri' in the under rated (imo) Boston Kickout.
Big Mo from Eastenders has popped up in Nil By Mouth before she hit Albert Square too. As did Kathy whasserface from Harry Enfield (and was really good as a straight actress in it)
And I guess everyone knows that Jonny Depp was in the first Nightmare on Elm St.

Obviously don´t watch enough American sitcoms
I had a eureka moment whilst watching 8 Simple Rules ... ´i bloody recognise that voice!´

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
For The Wire fans: Just spotted Reg E Cathey (Tommy Carcetti's wingman Norman) in Clear And Present Danger as the sergeant major at the sniper demonstration.
Doesn't really count as an early appearance (he was the warden of Em City who succeeded Tim McManus in Oz as well as Scalio in The Corner, and his IMDb credits go back to 1984), but it's certainly a bit part.

Dave from Minder (Glyn Edwards) had memorable turns as a fiery corporal in Zulu, and as a porn performer in Get Carter, which also boasted early appearances of Alun Armstrong (later seen as a star on TV series New Tricks as well as a meaty role in Our Friends In The North) and Brian Mosley (Alf Roberts in Coronation Street).

does charlie from casualty (and pierce brosnan btw) in the long good friday count?

I don't see why not (though that Pierce Brosnan appearance has already been mentioned).
There's also an early biggish part for PH Moriarty, who was later seen as an evil Canary in The Monocled Mutineer, and then much later as a Guy Ritchie wet dream of a gangster in Lock, Stock, where fellow TLGF alumnus Alan Ford also earned a pay cheque. Oh, and Gillian Taylforth (Cathy Beale in Stenders) lets out a piercing East End scream.

I think everyone knew the voice of Leela would be the married with children mom before Futurama even went on the air. It was a selling point.

He does have a great death scene though, that'll teach the bastard for cheating during the school football game.

peter's twin brother?
Dirty Martini

Peter Capaldi, Paul's twin brother, in an episode of Minder from 1985 that was on ITV 4 last week, the one about the mobile phones.
Just finished watching season 1 of Homicide: Life On The Streets and was continually distracted by familiar faces. Spotted D'Angelo as well as Orlando (the club owner) from The Wire, a few others I couldn't place and have been bugging me since.
I did, of course, mean Peter Capaldi. Paul Capaldi was the parish priest when I was a little un
