One of those often-overlooked minor pleasures of the pursuit of pop culture is recognizing character actors in different roles. It’s especially fun if the roles are extremely different – like seeing Sam the Butcher from “The Brady Bunch” playing a rapist on “Kojak.” (Not that this ever happened, or at least I don’t think it did – it’s just a hypothetical.) So I was pleased today to see a very serious lawyer on an “L.A. Law” rerun who also plays the Russian video pornographer on Comedy Central’s “Strip Mall.” (great show, very twisted)

As I have said many times before, yes, I will be seeking treatment.
