Actors from the real world?
Suppose you have a show where someone needs to operate a piece of sophisticated equipment. It makes sense that you would hire someone who knows that equipment, get them a SAG card, and then have them do a few walk-on bits, maybe some dialogue--"I'll get right on it."--when you need to show the equipment operating.
Does anyone know some of these actors?
I know that on Emergency, Mike Stoker was a real LA County firefighter, hired to play one because they needed a firefighter to drive the engines. On Quincy, ME, Marc Taylor actually worked for the LA County coroner's office as a lab tech, and was used to operate the equipment when on-screen tests needed to be run. It seems like you'd need someone like this on most medical shows. Anyone know of any others?
Extreme Home Makeover is not acting, so I don't think that qualifies. It's like someone famous being on Dancing with the Stars. I'm not even talking about Chuck Yeager playing Fred in The Right Stuff. You don't need to be a pilot to push a broom. It was a courtesy cast. I'm talking about hiring a real medical examiner to play an extra in the autopsy room on Law & Order, or something.

I read Leanne Tohey form 'The Blind Side' (Sandra bullock played her) is or will be on Extreme home makeover as their new decorator as she is an interior decorator.
