Someone has pointed out that Cheryl Hines was in a UM segment fairly early in her career.

Also, the woman who portrayed Marie Hilley was also in some other TV movies... I don't remember which ones.

Averman she was in the UFO episode where the guy dissapeared flying accross the Great Australian Bight.

It's on the UFO dvd set. I don't think it's up on youtube though.
It's one of my favourite UFO unsolved mystery episodes though.

Oh yeah, the Frederick Valentich disappearance.

I remember watching that clip on TV when it was on. I loved that story because it happened in Australia and it was weird and freaky.

That's one of my favories too. Wonder what happened to him?

"It's hovering and it's not an aircraft......"

Wonder what he really met with......

Probably David Copperfield.

Which segment was Matthew Mcconaughey in? I cannot STAND his voice, so I refuse to watch any of his movies. If I ever see him on UM, I'll have to mute the TV. :lol:

He played a guy called Larry Dickens (I think), a guy who gets killed by a possible paedophile in Texas. This guy with no pants on goes up to some kids playing in the street. Matt then goes up to the guy and tells him to bugger off. The guy returns to his van and pulls a gun out. They move to the kerb and the guy begins opening round on McConaughey. But McConaughey keeps going after him until he dies on the driveway. The guy is later caught.

Hey, now that's some avatar material. AVERMAN is the best on this forum at screen capture and posting pics. Plus I love the occasional wordage variation, like ice block. Kerb, now that's a spelling I've never seen before. Are you sure you're not Zodiac? :lol:

I noticed Stephnie Weir from Mad TV as one of the people staying at the hotel where Bill Roberts (who turned out to actually be Bill Blackwell) hung around and hid his van for a while.

Yes Stephanie Weir was in that segment with the creepy redneck Bill Roberts as one of the white trash patrons of the run down "hotel" where he hid his truck.

For all the NYPD Blue fans, John F. O'Donohue was in a UM segment. He was the fireman who was kicked off of the scene by the military in the Gander segment.

I saw Stephanie Weir in the segment mentioned w/ my mom. Momma is a BIG MAD TV fan and flipped when she saw it.

Not UM but early in her career, Edie Falco portrayed a crime victim on AMW. They have this AMW montage they play every so often where she appears, mentioning this and congratulating the show on its success.
