Who's Left to NOT Be a Guest Star?

I keep hearing entertainment news about X actor joining the upcoming season of Dexter or Weeds as a guest star. Showtime is going a little crazy with the guest stars. Yes, John Lithgow was an amazing guest star on Dexter playing Arthur Mitchell/The Trinity Killer (and he won a Golden Globe for the role. And was also nominated for an Emmy). But that doesn't mean you need to go hog wild on guest stars for the upcoming season, Showtime. As for Weeds, yes, this show is getting crazier and crazier every season (aww, remember when Nancy was just a little ol' pot dealer in the suburbs? My what a long journey she has been on...), and yeah they've jumped a couple of billion sharks, so I guess the thinking is 'What's the harm of a couple of more guest stars?!' Regardless, I'll still watch both shows loyally.

So, from the latest gossip I heard, the following people will be guest stars on the upcoming season of Weeds or Dexter (some were guest stars last season as well):

Dexter

Julia Stiles
You might remember her from 10 Things I Hate About You, Save the Last Dance, Mona Lisa Smile, or those Bourne movies

Jonny Lee Miller
You might remember him from Hackers, Trainspotting, or the TV show Eli Stone. You might also remember him as Angelina Jolie's first husband (back when hardly anyone knew who Angelina Jolie was).

Shawn Hatosy
You might remember him from The Faculty, In & Out, or John Q. He's in a bunch of random stuff, but you don't really remember what.

Katherine Moennig
You probably only remember her from The L Word, if you ever saw that Showtime show. Oh and it seems like every time I see her name mentioned, they bring up that she's Gwyneth Paltrow's cousin.

April Lee Hernandez
I don't actually know who this is. But apparently she was on ER. And in the movie Freedom Writers.

Peter Weller
or
You probably remember him from the Robocop movies, Buckaroo Banzai, or the TV show 24.


Weeds

Jennifer Jason Leigh
You might remember her from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Single White Female, or Margot at the Wedding. You might also know her as the wife of director/writer Noah Baumbach. Or the daughter of Vic Morrow, the actor that died on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie due to that tragic helicopter crash.

Alanis Morissette
You Oughta Know her from her music. She was also on Dogma, the TV show You Can't Do That On Television, and that episode of Sex and the City where she kissed Carrie in a game of Spin the Bottle. You might also remember she was once engaged to the actor Ryan Reynolds (who is now married to Scarlett Johansson. Talk about a downgrade. Haha.).

Richard Dreyfuss
You might remember him from What About Bob?, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or Mr. Holland's Opus.

Linda Hamilton
You might remember her from The Terminator and Terminator 2, Dante's Peak, or that weird Beauty and the Beast TV show with Ron Perlman. You might also remember her as James Cameron's 4th wife (he's now on to wife #5).

Mark-Paul Gosselaar
You might remember him as Zack Morris from Good Morning Miss Bliss, Saved by the Bell, Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, Saved by the Bell: The College Years, and Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas. He was also in Dead Man on Campus (where he debuted his dyed-black, instead of blonde, hair. Scandalous!). Then he was on a bunch of bad network TV shows where he seemed to always play a lawyer or a cop.

Peter Stormare
You might remember this creepy Swede from Fargo, The Big Lebowski, or Dancer in the Dark.

Eric Lange
I have no idea who this guy is. But apparently he was on the TV show Lost. Also, according to imdb, he's been on one episode of pretty much every TV show: Angel, Firefly, The Shield, CSI, The West Wing, JAG, Judging Amy, The Bernie Mac Show, Without a Trace, ER, CSI: NY, NCIS, [This is starting to look like a stock market ticker], Cold Case, Ghost Whisperer, Burn Notice, Entourage, Boston Legal, Criminal Minds, Bones, Numb3rs, My Name is Earl, Monk, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, and Dark Blue. Wow. Now add Weeds to that huge list.
