I was flipping the channels between Law & Order and The Big Bang Theory and just happened to notice that Stuart  
[![](http://waytofamous.com/images/kevin-sussman-04.jpg) ](http://waytofamous.com/images/kevin-sussman-04.jpg)  
looks a lot like a young Capt. Cragen

Are Dann Florek and Kevin Sussman related?

I can imagine a series finale…The Big Bang Theory: 2050…with our aged characters played by more mature actors:

Stuart - Dann Florek

Sheldon - Kier Dullea

Leonard - Judd Hirsch

Howard - Ringo Starr (you know it has to be him ;))

Raj - ?

Penny - ?
