Macy, Steve Buscemi, Roma Maffia, Olympia Dukakis, Michael Moriarty, Chris Cooper, Michael Rooker, David Strathairn, Charles S. Dutton, Cynthia Nixon, Laura San Giacomo, Kasi Lemmons, Ving Rhames, Amanda Plummer,Jon Polito, Jasmine Guy, Mark Linn-Baker, Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci … shall I go on?) and the theme song was written by Stewart Copeland.

Edward Woodward, did a bunch of movies and theater and also appeared on The Eastenders.  In 1987, Woodward told the AP “I think I’ve probably [sic] more television than any actor living.  I’ve done over 2,000, could be 3,000 now, television productions.”
