2. Robin Williams (Mork & Mindy, The Crazy Ones)

[del]4. Liz Sheridan, as Raquel Ochmonek in ALF and Helen Seinfeld in Seinfeld[/del]  
4. Mark Harmon (Sam, NCIS)  
5. Henry Winkler, (Happy Days, Arrested Development)  
Alf and Seinfeld are only 11 years apart maximum, no way to be in both series and be under 30 in one and over 30 in another.

CRAP…NINJA-ed by the same exact addition. I go nothing to add other than Liz Sheridan disqualification.
