According to IMDB the Dean Winters (Ryan O'Riley on Oz) was Tom Marans in several episodes of Homicide.
He didn't do much before Oz except some guest spots and small roles in a few movies.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

OZ is actually very strange to watch because so many of the actors are people you know or associate with other projects. Of course, some of those projects came later - I'm several years behind due to the lack of HBO in my life. (And why the hell haven't they gotten past season two in the DVDs yet anyway?) Several L&O, a few from Homicide, (Chris Meloni is both, actually), and at least a few others I've seen elsewhere.
I wasn't a Kate-hater when ER was on Angel, although she didn't really interest me much until her last few eps. But she's gawdawful on L&O. It may not be entirely her fault, though. The show as a whole has gotten really preachy - more speechifying than Buffy at the end - and a big part of her function as Lawyer No. 2 is to be a foil for elevator conversations Exlaining the Issues. Not a lot she can do with that. But her predecessors did it better.
However, his brother (of both the actor and the Ryan O'Reilly character) memorably turned up in Angel season 1.
He was on Homicide once or twice as well.
Personally, I think that Kate was a bit too mundane in the growing weirdness that was Angel. Compared to three vampires with daddy issues, a cop with daddy issues doesn't stack up.
Plus, she shared the show with CK.
The first time I remember seeing Chris Meloni was Bound, which was a hell of a place to start.
The first time I made note of Chris Meloni was on OZ, which is a hell of an introduction.
Who did he play in Bound? I disremember.
I still remember him as the dimwitted brother on The Fanelli Boys. Little did I know that I would one day see more of him than of some of the people I've slept with.
Who did he play in Bound? I disremember.
I don't know if the name was spelled Johnny or Gianni, but he was the guy who was having the pissing contest with Joey Pants. The big don's nephew.
I didn't get Summit at seven. I got the asteroid episode. Which I've seen about three times already.
I wanted to see Summit.
eta: Forget I said anything. I got Summit at eight. Their schedule is messed.
I'm about to be bad. I'm about to drift to another show.
But.
WHY THE FUCK DID NO ONE THINK TO TELL ME ABOUT WISEGUY ON DVD??!!?
