I give you T-Bag holding Nikita hostage in a basement and giving her a milk IV. And no, that's not a euphamism for something dirty.

I always knew that Robert Knepper had been in this episode and remembered thinking that he'd been very good, but I haven't watched this clip since I started watching Prison Break. He's quite something, and he and

Hello there.

I remember watching this since the start of PB as well. I loved the 'guest stars' that often appeared in LFN and RK was fantastically suited to this role - if memory serves me, he lived in the basement of his mother's?? I didn't rewatch the clip.

I really loved the role of David Fanning as a guest spot early in Season 1? It was Douglas O'Keefe, but I haven't seen him in anything else. Remember the scene when Nikita spots him conversing with Madeline and Paul in that glass office after she had brought him in? Love that show.

[msgenevieve]

Yes, the episode was called "Toys in the Basement". Poor Henry. I believe he met a sticky end, too. *sighs*

I've seen Douglas O'Keefe in a couple of things - he was in Dark Angel, for one. Everything I've seen him in, he's played the same type of character. Loved him in LFN, though, and he's one of the villians in my unfinished LFN AU story. *g*

[sk56]

Ah, yes, the storied unfinished story...

[msgenevieve]

*coughs*

I figure if I talk about it enough, I'll start believing that one day I might actually finish it. LOL.

[rosie_spleen]

Me again. Do you know I discovered that the guy who played David Fanning was in Tarzan and Josh with Sarah Wayne Tancredi Callies? I'm sure YOU knew this, but when I made that comment above, I didn't because I've never seen Tar-Zaaaan.

wow.

[msgenevieve]

He is? I need to watch those Tarzan eps more closely then, lol!

I love that Michael Cera played that creepy kid in a box. HAHA When Arrested Development started, I was all, "Where do I know that kid from?" LFN had a lot of awesome guests who went on to play really memorable roles.

I made a post a LONG time ago reminiscing about the guest spots...lemme go look.

Here it is! Creepy George Michael!!

[msgenevieve]

OH, MY FREAKING GOD.

I didn't realise that. I am hyperventilating here, lol! I'm going to have to watch that episode again, if only to see him give Madeline that death stare and through Operations through the plate glass window. Nikita's ridiculous leather pants I can live without, though. LOL.

And Carlo Rota will never be anyone but Mick Schtoppel for me, I'm afraid.

LOLOLOLOL. That screencap of Carlo you have in that old post is when he goes and wakes her up and tries to cadge a condom off her because he's got a bird at his place and she's on the boil. LOLOLOLOLOL.

[angelicus]

I know...I could never get over him being Mick when he was on 24. I loved him in the early days of LFN when he was such a douche. HAHA

So now when people complain that Michael Cera only plays the same role over and over in each movie, you can say, "Nuh uh!! He played a creepy mind-reading kid on LFN!" LOL

[msgenevieve]

It was very, very hard to take him seriously as Mr Jones, that's for sure.

I just keep staring at that picture of little Michael Cera and it's FREAKING me out, lol!

[jaybee65]

Oh my God. It *is* him! I had tried to put this episode (among many others from S4) so far out of my mind that I NEVER NOTICED THIS.

Weren't we just talking about stumbling across the same actors in multiple things? LOL. This could be Exhibit A!

[msgenevieve]

Yes, lol! I actually had our little chat in the back of my mind when I was browsing youtube, and I may have laughed out loud when I found this clip so fast. *g*

[jaybee65]

This is possibly the most hilarious example possible of the phenomenon, made even more so by the fact that we didn't notice it before now. LOL!

[msgenevieve]

Does it make it less hilarious if I say that I knew he was in LFN, I just hadn't watched the episode since my PB love started?

I can't get over Michael Cera being the creepy kid from Section Four, lol!!!!

[sk56]

Actors paying the bills, actors paying the bills.

[msgenevieve]

Stupid episode, with its stupid 'the actors aren't really here but here's a tent to imply they are' HR ending. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
