2. 'Lois and Clark ...' and 'The West Wing'

Answer: Emily Proctor

Emily played Lana Lang, the alternate-Clark's fiance in the 'Lois and Clark...' episode 'Tempus, Anyone?', and plays reoccuring character Ainsley Hayes, the assistant associate White House counsel Sam calls 'the leggy blonde republican' on The West Wing.'

3. 'The West Wing' and 'Deep Impact'

4. 'Deep Impact' and 'ER'

Answer: James Cromwell

James played Senator Rittenhouse in 'Deep Impact', and has appeared in the reoccuring role of Bishop Stewart on 'ER'. And yes, Laura Innes also appears in both (Carrie Weaver on 'ER', reporter Beth Stanley in 'Deep Impact').
5. 'ER' (1994 series) and 'E-R' (1984 series)

Answer: George Clooney

I suspect for Clooney fans this one's a no-brainer, but for the rest of us, it's not so well-known that George, who struck gold playing Dr. Doug Ross on NBC's hour-long drama 'ER', appeared in ANOTHER television series of (almost) the same title. 'E-R' was a sitcom where George played Ace, who (I believe, but haven't been able to confirm) was a male nurse.
6. 'E-R' (1984 series) and 'Friends'

Answer: Elliot Gould

Elliot played Dr. Howard Sheinfeld on the short lived sitcom 'E-R', and has the reoccuring character of Monica and Ross's father (Jack Gellar) on 'Friends'.

9. 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'When Harry Met Sally'

10. 'When Harry Met Sally' and 'Amazon Women on the Moon'

Answer: Carrie Fisher

Carrie plays Sally's best gal pal Marie in 'When Harry Met Sally', and fallen woman Mary Brown in the 'Reckless Youth' episode in the before-they-were-stars celeb fest film 'Amazon Women on the Moon' - which, if you haven't seen it, hunt it down NOW! It's a corny goofball B-movie send up that's a real trip! For the record, all 4 choices appeared in 'Amazon', along with (to name a very few) Arsenio Hall, Ed Begley Jr, Peter Horton, Griffin Dunne, Sybil Danning, B.B. King, Rosanne Arquette (billed as Rosanna), Robert Picardo, Rip Taylor, Slappy White, Steve Allen, Henny Youngman, Kelly Preston and her future husband John's brother, Joey Travolta.
11. 'Amazon Women on the Moon' and 'In Living Color'

David plays Don 'No Soul' Simmons in 2 segments of 'Amazon...', and need I list his various characters on 'In Living Color'?
12. 'In Living Color' and 'Simon Birch' (1998)

Again, I don't think I need to list Jim's 'In Living Color' resume. In 'Simon Birch', Jim played the adult Joe Wenteworth (Joseph Mazello plays the young version of the co-starring character).
