Chad Coleman (“Z”) – Coach in Left 4 Dead 2

Chad Coleman plays the enigmatic “Z,” a friend of Frank who lives underneath a bridge in Philly. Before his appearance on Sunny, but after his appearance on The Wire, Coleman starred as one of the new survivors in Left 4 Dead 2, Coach. Step into the shoes of Coach next time you’re sitting down at your Xbox 360 and wondering what it feels like to be an overweight high-school coac fighting zombies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Stephen Collins (Bruce Mathis) – Karl Hanke in Inside the Third Reich

On Sunny, Stephen Collins plays Bruce Mathis, the do-gooder biological father of Dennis and Dee. This is not unlike his role as the father on 7th Heaven. However, in 1982, he played Karl Hanke in Inside the Third Reich. Hanke was a Nazi-era governor of Lower Silesia, final Reichsführer-SS, and all around swell dude. He was known for being one of the most adamant and unquestioning supporters of the Nazi regime, which is also true of the father on 7th Heaven.

Gregory Scott Cummins (Luther) – Trigger Jenksin in Walker: Texas Ranger

Before he played Mac’s Dad (a.k.a. Luther), Gregory Scott Cummins was acting along side the likes of Chuck Norris. How the mighty have fallen. If you’re bored, check out Cummins’ website, and take a look at the impressive array of roles he’s racked up over the years. And no, I’m not being sarcastic. This guy’s been around.
