Emily played Lana Lang, the alternate-Clark's fiance in the 'Lois and Clark...' episode 'Tempus, Anyone?', and plays reoccuring character Ainsley Hayes, the assistant associate White House counsel Sam calls 'the leggy blonde republican' on The West Wing.'

Richard plays Communications Director Toby Ziegler on 'The West Wing', and played Leo Biederman's father in 'Deep Impact'.

Answer: George Clooney

I suspect for Clooney fans this one's a no-brainer, but for the rest of us, it's not so well-known that George, who struck gold playing Dr. Doug Ross on NBC's hour-long drama 'ER', appeared in ANOTHER television series of (almost) the same title. 'E-R' was a sitcom where George played Ace, who (I believe, but haven't been able to confirm) was a male nurse.

Answer: Carrie Fisher

Carrie plays Sally's best gal pal Marie in 'When Harry Met Sally', and fallen woman Mary Brown in the 'Reckless Youth' episode in the before-they-were-stars celeb fest film 'Amazon Women on the Moon' - which, if you haven't seen it, hunt it down NOW! It's a corny goofball B-movie send up that's a real trip! For the record, all 4 choices appeared in 'Amazon', along with (to name a very few) Arsenio Hall, Ed Begley Jr, Peter Horton, Griffin Dunne, Sybil Danning, B.B. King, Rosanne Arquette (billed as Rosanna), Robert Picardo, Rip Taylor, Slappy White, Steve Allen, Henny Youngman, Kelly Preston and her future husband John's brother, Joey Travolta.

Answer: David Alan Grier

David plays Don 'No Soul' Simmons in 2 segments of 'Amazon...', and need I list his various characters on 'In Living Color'?
