Let's play a game. I had an ex who used to scream out 'I saw him naked' whenever am actor came on TV that used to be on the HBO series OZ. This was unvelievably annoying since it happened all the time, but after I started to watch the repeats of OZ, I started noticing whenever one of the actors or actresses from the show were somewhere else. I think that's because the show was so good and made such an impact when you watched it, that these faces just stood out.
So I wanna play a game I like to call Where are they now?: OZ Edition. Just name an OZ character, the actor's name, and the show and/or character they played elsewhere. I'll even let roles before OZ count, too. A '+' to everybody who comes up with one that wasn't already listed. Hopefully we can get a good game going. I'll start:
Ryan O' Reily (Dean Winters) - Plays Jonny Gavin on RESCUE ME, until his character got killed.
Your turn!

Ok, I saw him naked but it was so long ago that I can't remember what his character's name was on OZ. His real name is Chris Mahone and he is now on Law & Order:SVU. Hate to say it but I often tell my husband that I saw Chris Mahone naked, too. I know it's annoying but so was seeing him naked when it wasn't necessary to the plot.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that his character's name on Law & Order:SVU is Eliott Stabler.

His name on OZ was Christopher 'Chris' Keller and he was Tobias Beecher's boyfriend. Good call. I figured he'd be a quick one to be pointed out.

He is the only one I can remember. I haven't seen that show in years.

They should really try to bring 'OZ' back onto the air. HBO could pull it off, I'm sure. Instead, 'The Sopranos' are getting all the attention, and it's not as good as 'OZ'.
