I just saw the episode with James Cromwell as the cop that Jack punches. I hadn't realized he had been in the biz for that long. The first time I saw him was in the movie "Babe", and then later on as the corrupt police Captain in "LA Confidential".

Yeah I was watching that episode and it took me a while to realize who it was. I thought he started out in "Babe". It was pretty interesting

I remember seeing this epiode and it was funny seeing him looking young(probably about 10 yrs. older than the Kids, but that still was young)! I Love him in Babe but loved him alot in LA Confidential which also stars my favorite Guy Pearce!

I just went to check at his imdb bio and he also made guest appearances in other shows like Maude, Mash, All in the Family.

Just checked his IMDB bio and it looks like James Cromwell didn't start getting movie and TV roles till he was in his early thirties. I guess if your'e a struggling young actor in Hollywood now, it just goes to show ya, sometimes it takes a while, but with perseverance and hard work, you might just become a famous actor one day and get to work with A-list stars like Rusell Crowe and Guy Pearce

Isn't it kind of Ironic that James Cromwell played a sleazy cop in Three's Company, and fastforward 20 yrs. later, and he plays a corrupt police captain in L.A. Confidential!

That's right! I guess he just has that 'corruptible cop' kinda face
