Also Tim Robbins, he was a guest on two consecutive episodes in the first season (which I watched religiously) where he was a young anarchist who injured himself in a bombing that killed a mild-mannered guy's wife.  I bet you can't guess what the mild-mannered guy did in the 2nd ep.

The entire series run turned out to have been the imagination of an autistic child viewing the hospital through some kind of snow-globe thing.
