Your favourite Euro Cult actors crop up in the most unusual places...

Watching an episode of the perenially-wacky LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT today, I was surprised to see a guest appearance by Franco Nero, as a thinly-veiled caricature of Silvio Berlusconi - he plays a sex-mad Italian politician who is accused of rape.



From time to time, Nero crops up in a lot of TV shows, and I thought it may be worth having a thread in which we can document unusual sightings of our favourite Euro Cult actors, in places where we might not expect to see them - in television programmes, adverts, etc.

EDIT: Any chance of moving this into Euro Cult, Ian? I've stuck it in the wrong sub-forum :cuckoo: (My excuse is, I've been marking essays for almost twelve hours today, so my brain's frazzled )

Not my favorite but.....Thomas Milian was in MIAMI VICE, Law & Order, Murder: She Wrote ,L.A. Law, The Equalizer...and probably many others!

Easily the most unexpected for me was seeing Gabriele Tinti in THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. If you asked me to name the television show I least expected to see a eurocult actor in, that would have been it. And he actually played the same character again in the spinoff MAYBERRY R.F.D.

Not a problem!

Thanks, Ian :)

Not my favorite but.....Thomas Milian was in MIAMI VICE, Law & Order, Murder: She Wrote ,L.A. Law, The Equalizer...and probably many others!

I remember Milian's appearances in THE EQUALIZER, MIAMI VICE and LAW & ORDER, but not MURDER: SHE WROTE.

I remember being surprised when Tony Musante (an American, rather than European actor admittedly, but known for his European films I guess) cropped up in the first season of HBO's OZ in the late-1990s. Come to think of it, didn't Milian appear in OZ too?

What's even crazier is Milan is in that episode with Fred Williamson!

My favorite hour of television.

Ever.
