Last night I saw a commercial for this week's ER, and Tom Irwin will be a guest star. Where I live it will be on NBC tomorrow night (Thursday, 1/27) at 9pm. On the official website for ER, it doesn't say Tom's name anywhere, but he's unmistakable, of course! If you watch the video clip you'll see Tom.

On Friday I saw a commercial for that epsidode with Tom Irwin as a guest star and then I was watching Third Watch and Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn (Amber) was a guest star playing Bosco's mom. It was crazy and no one in my fam knew why I was all excited to see them.

I saw the preview too. I think it said he's a father who wants to donate an organ to save his sick child, even at the cost of his own life. Looks promising...

Okay, so I'm watching the episode of ER right now with Tom Irwin guest-starring, and there is a woman on the show that looks a lot like Cheryl Fleck on MSCL (Uncle Neil's date to the B&B in Weekend). It's the woman who has red hair and uses a cane. I don't think she's a doctor on ER - she's like a CEO or something. Does anyone know if this woman is the same one who played Cheryl Fleck? (Sorry, I don't know the actress's name!)

Yeah, it's the same woman: Laura Innes. Last time I rewatched that ep of MSCL my reaction was 'hey, that's Weaver!'. Mr. S saw it too and he concurred.

you can check out her imdb entry here.

I haven't watched an episode of ER in over a month, but I was glad to catch this one. Tom did a great job, I forget that he is a really good actor when I don't see him much. Great to see him steal the scenes again.

Thanks starbug. I thought that was her!

As for Tom, he was completely freaked out in this episode! It reminded me of Father Figures sort of. Maybe because of his stubble. Anyway, I thought he did a great job. It seems like Tom never has really big roles anymore - I haven't seen him in a movie or much on TV, just as a guest star for one episode here and there. I'll have to check out his imdb page. He'll always be Graham for me a little bit!

it was a great episode
Nice to see him working!

You can read the TWoP recap here.

Weird. I just read the recap candygirl posted and the author referred to Tom Irwin as Graham Chase, and his wife & daughter as Patty & Angela. So even though I saw the episode on tv last week, as I read the recap I couldn't help but picture Bess Armstrong and Claire Danes! Argh!

This episode was also mentioned a little bit here.
