Neal McDonough does do creepy well, but the first thing I ever saw him in was Band of Brothers, where he just broke my heart after his character (Buck Compton, who later went on to prosecute Sirhan Sirhan) had his meltdown in the Battle of the Bulge and he couldn't deal with combat anymore.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Mark Valley did a short-lived series called Keen Eddie , which I liked a lot
A lot of people liked it. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy it because I'd lived through too many "ugly american" experiences where I just had to sit there and cringe while my countryman made an ass out of him/herself.

I loved Neal McDonough in Boomtown. Yet another show that no one seemed to like but me.

Mark Valley was also the Not Jack on DooL, right?

Loved Keen Eddie. I've been watching the guy who played his partner on Green Wing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love Neal McDonough! But probably because of the creepy, to some extent. Eta: know him from Boomtown, which I still mourn
Human Target ads definitely me do some double-takes thinking Colin was on my TV. I can't decide whether I want to watch it or not - it's got ChiMcBride and, er, someone else I like but there's something in the ads that turns me off.

I love Boomtown! But I found it after the fact. But my thought always is, when I see a "Southland" promo, to pull a David Spade and be all "I liked it the first time...when it was called "Boomtown" Also, it reminds me of every Wambaugh novel, since ever. But most people kind of don't think of him as like their Uncle Joey, do they?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I definitely did a not Colin doubletake. But I am going to try the series. We'll see.

I am you on these counts.
I bought the series after it was canceled and, while I like Southland fine, it just doesn't have the same...ya know.
Each one of the characters really grabbed my attention. Hm. Perhaps it's time for a re-watch.
