    Portia de Rossi - Ally McBeal and Arrested Development
    Rachel Griffiths - Six Feet Under and Brothers & Sisters
    Lara Flynn Boyle - Twin Peaks and The Practice

    Those are the only ones I can think of who haven't been mentioned so far...

    EDIT: Oh and Alan Alda from M*A*S*H* was a season regular for the last two seasons of The West Wing. His name was first in the opening credits so he was more than just a guest star!

    That hadn't anything to do with him being called Alan Alda?

    For the first 4 seasons, Rob Lowe was always first in the starting credits even though he wasn't alphabetically first.

    But yeah, where he was in the opening credits is somewhat irrelevant, I guess. My point was that the fact his name was in the opening credits. Shows he wasn't just a guest star.

    Generally a term directed at the vast majority of your threads. :D


    Tim Matheson - Johnny Quest, The Virginian, Bonanza, Owen Marshall Counselar at Law, How the West Was Won, The West Wing

    James Garner - Maverick, The Rockford Files, 8 Simple Rules...

    Bruce Boxleitner - How the West Was Won, Scarecrow and Mrs King and Babylon 5.

    Could argue that both James Garner and Boxleitner played reoccuring characters on a number of other hit shows and as such could qualify.

    James Arness - Gunsmoke, How the West Was Won

    Quinn also featured in a season a piece of both JAG and Alias. Was pivotal to both shows during his time in them.

    A very underrated actor imo

    As you mentioned Harper's Island also Christopher Gorham (Popular, Ugly Betty and Covert Affairs)
