Who was the blonde man who portrayed Abby's patient last night? I know I've seen him on something before, but can't remember where or when.

Thanks in advance, Ellen

He was the reporter in the Die Hard (I and II) movies. I was wondering the same thing. Just remembered who he was a while ago.

>>He was the reporter in the Die Hard (I and II) movies<< You mean the tv guy who broadcasts from the bathroom on the airplane and gets decked by Bruce Willis' wife? I could be wrong, but I don't think that's the same man. I'm thinking he was on a TV show but still can't remember....

Wasn't he also on Murphy Brown as a really airheaded reporter/anchor? Can't remember the character name.

You're right... he was on Murphy Brown, although he does look like that reporter... just younger.

You guys are absolutely right, he was on Murphy Brown. And if I got the name right, he played the character "Miller Redfield". The actor's name is Christopher Rich. Thanks for clearing that up for me too!! :)

But wait! I never watched Murphy Brown, so it can't be there that I am remembering him from. Maybe a soap opera?

Ellen, still searching

Also (and this is very obscure), he played a grown up Archie (from the comic) in a tv movie about the "archie gang" high school reunion, about 8 years ago

Chris Rich played "Sandy" on the Another World soap opera, and I believe he also played the lead in a short-lived TV show called "The Charmings" or something to that effect.

Ah ha! Thank you Lisa! I had almost narrowed it down to that show, because I could see him in my mind saying "Cecille" but couldn't remember his character's name.

Thanks again,

Ellen

William Atherton played the reporter on the Die Hard movies. Plus, he has more reddish hair; Chris Rich is more blonde.

I *think* and this is just a guess, that he played a nutcase judge on the Practice a few weeks age, as well as a guy on the X-Files two weeks ago. I remember thinking, boy does he get around!

Lisa (above) is correct. He was Prince Charming, married to (I think) Sleeping Beauty in an updated version of the fairy tale a few years back.

I don't think he was on "the Practice", unless I managed to miss an epi. . . but he was definitly Miller from "Murphy Brown"
