The woman who played Jerry's love interest on tonight's (4/15) "Boston Legal" ... who was that??  SO familiar to me.  I tried looking on IMDb.com by episode but she wasn't there.  Then I tried tvguide.com, but got lost/confused there.  On abc.com it was worse - why do they all have to automatically load videos on so many home pages now?  I don't go there for videos!

(Hmm ... could she be Henry's "Charlie" on "Ugly Betty"?  I'm wondering.)

Anybody know where I can find full cast lists for individual episodes of primetime shows?  Thanks!

An alternative to imdb for cast lists is tv.com, but like imdb, the info is all by user/fan-input, and so might not be updated as quickly (or as accurately) as we'd like sometimes...

Rachelle Lefevre is very pretty.

Network press releases such as below can be found on a number of sites (but my go-to is thefutoncritic.com ) - they won't ever give you the FULL cast list of a given episode, but should have everybody that would rate being credited at the top of the show, solve most of your 'Who's that?' riddles...

  • Daniel Hugh Kelly was Frank on Ryan's Hope & most recently, played Col. Mayer on ATWT (Noah's father). He has also done quite a lot of primetime work, starting w/co-starring on Hardcastle & McCormick many yrs ago. eom
  • Daniel Hugh Kelly is also a Broadway actor. Also in the show William Russ (Another World). I stopped watching while he was still on but have always been a fan. I was happy when years later he started popping up in guest spots (Wiseguy) and then his shortlived sitcom. Hope he keeps recurring on BL.eom/WE
  • Dax) William Russ is a great actor - I'm always pleased to see him in anything...

    One of my favorite websites is imdb.com ~~ Sorry I do not know how to post a clickable link, however the site is called Internet Movie Database and it is full o'info about movies, TV, everything. they even have a message board for every entry. You can find goofs, trivia, quotes, full cast and crew listings (most with photos).....I spend hours browsing there unintentionally...love it!!

  • Yeah, as I said above that was the first place I went to, but didn't have any luck. I love that site too and go there all the time. -SpellingAddict
  • P.S. Being able to type a link is a function of your computer settings, which I learned myself a while back. Sorry, I don't remember now exactly how to change that but it's undoubtedly under the *Tools* pull-down menu. Good luck! -Spell

  • YESSSSSS ... that's it, *What About Brian?* !! She was Brian's buddy's short-lived girlfriend, a stripper as I recall. That was after his fiancee Sarah left him. THANK YOU, Grandma!!! You made my day. -Spell
