A few weeks ago I was watching the Twilight Zone on one of SciFy’s marathons I think it was and they played A world of his own
Interesting… because Lovitz also had guest roles as two different characters on NewsRadio before joining the cast (as yet another character) in season 5 after the death of Phil Hartman. One was as a mental patient and the other was a man threatening to jump off the ledge of the building IIRC. (Which is funny, since the exterior shots of the building appeared to be that of a glass and steel office building without ledges.)
See post 96:
You are confusing Zathras with Zathras, just as you were warned against. IIRC, there is also Zathras, who also appeared only in one episode, in which he had a conversation with Zathras*.
No one listens to poor Zathras.
*I am given to understand that in addition to Zathras, Zathras, and Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, and Zathras were around, but did not have speaking roles.
Read through twice and missed it.
I’ll add the cranky American guest (Waldorf salad) from the same series. He was also the officer who confronted Joker about his peace symbol in Platoon.
Peter Weller’s time traveling mad scientist character was pretty good in Fringe.
Veteran character actor William Schallert as pompous Nilz Baris on “Star Trek TOS” “The Trouble with Tribbles”.
Joan Collins, City on the Edge of Forever. Need I say more?
Harry Mudd? They even got him back for an encore.
Though one of my favourites is the android Rock, from “What Are Little Girls Made of?” - That eerie scene where he speaks with the womans’ voice, trying to trick Kirk out of hiding.
And thus he is not a one-off character. Did you read the OP?
Sean Hayes as Nick Murdoch on Scrubs. (spoilers)
I remember that without any help from Wikipedia. It was from when JD was still sympathetic. 
Nitpick: Ruk.
You’re right, all she was commanding was a simulator room. But we didn’t know that initially, which makes it somewhat relevant to the question of Star Trek’s portrayal of female commanders, IMO. In addition, the way the scene played out made it clear that in-universe, it was not an oddity at all for a female to be training for command.
You may not have been a fan of the show in question; it has been a few decades.
From The Rockford Files; Jim’s former cellmate, the toughest guy in C block, gets out of prison and comes to collect a debt. Played menacingly by Isaac Hayes.I’m curious if anyone will know it without looking.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the Rockford Files. I’m the right age; I just didn’t get it.
Yeah I read it.
and I read your rudeness as well.
The humour in my comment is obviously lost on you
If you want to still state the obvious after reading it, then forget it
Jeez.
Ah, I remember him. I remember when I saw the episode as a kid, I thought he was a jerk, and watching the show years later… he’s still kind of a jerk, but at least you understand that he’s not acting that way just to be mean.
The best two-fer was when Chandler’s often mentioned but never before seen transvesite father finally showed up in a marvelous portrayal by Kathleen Turner:
Chandler: And theerrreee’s Daddy.
Monica, dropped-jawed: That cannot be your father.
Chandler: Believe me, I’ve been telling myself that for years.
I don’t think he was jerkish at all. All the jerkishness was on Riker’s side, and I always suspected Riker was motivated (perhaps subconsciously), by pique at not being chosen captain after Picard left.
