Daniel Craig had bit part in an episode of [Drop the Dead Donkey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_the_Dead_Donkey) (a show I wish a lot more Dopers had seen).

He play the ‘leader’ of a street gang who gets intimidated buy George (see the link) and made to do the \*Chicken Dance \*- with full words and actions.

I saw Rob Reiner in a TV episode of the old Batman series. He was a Delivery Boy.

Oh, man, you just jogged something loose: Mark Hamill was a Delivery Boy in an episode of “Night Gallery” (There Aren’t Any More McBanes).

I adore that; sadly the torrent quality is too poor to watch. The glorious Valerie Mahaffey is even more invigoratingly manic than usual.

I also liked **Herman’s Head** , and loved _Dweebs_ ( but the latter is too sad to talk about, especially since it was cancelled quickly ).  
My tastes are modest.

He’s a shy biker on The Partridge Family. They help his gather the courage to hit on the women he like.

Farrah Fawcett is on ep. also, billed as "Pretty girl.
