Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In season 1, an actor who later went on to a major role in "The West Wing" played an expectant father whose wife had serious complications giving birth. Which actor?

Answer: Bradley Whitford

The episode was called "Love's Labor Lost," and won five Emmy Awards. The mother died soon after giving birth. Mr. Whitford appeared again in season 2, as the same character, having sued County General and Mark Greene. Bradley Whitford plays Josh Lyman on "The West Wing."

2. Hallee Hirsh, who plays the teenage Rachel Greene (daughter of Mark), appeared at age 10 on another top-rated drama. She played a girl who killed a 7-year-old boy. Which show was it?

Answer: Law and Order

In a 2001 interview, Hallee said that people still stop her on the street and say, "They should have put you in jail for life for what you did."

3. In season 1 only, a highly respected, Emmy winning actor played the ER chief, Dr. David Morgenstern. What is this actor's name?

Answer: William H. Macy

Mr. Macy had committed to the film "Fargo," and was unavailable after the first season, except for an occasional appearance. He won two Emmy Awards for the 2002 TNT movie, "Door to Door," one for playing Bill Porter, a successful salesman for the Watkins Company, despite having Cerebral Palsy, and another for co-writing the script.

His wife is the actress Felicity Huffman, whom you may know from "Sports Night," her stint on "Frasier," and her leading role on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."

Answer: Mary Cavanaugh

Another patient identified her after hearing her sing. Also in Season 1, Miss Clooney's son, Miguel Ferrer, appeared as a patient diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He also appeared on "Crossing Jordan." Miss Clooney passed away early in 2003.

Answer: Jing-Mei

Her characters on "ER" and in the movie share the same first name! Jing-Mei has been through a lot in the ER, giving up her baby son for adoption, and being fired, later reinstated, caring for her contentious father, and being in a horrific car accident with Pratt.

6. Laura Innes, who plays Kerry Weaver, made several appearances in a 1990's sitcom. Which one?

Answer: Wings

She played Bunny, ex-wife of Lowell Mather, the airport mechanic.

Answer: Mark Greene

Cynthia became just a bit too clingy for Mark. After she mistook a love letter addressed to "C.H." as being for her (it was from Doug to Carol Hathaway), she professed undying love to Mark, who then headed for the hills.

8. Noah Wyle, who has played John Carter since the "ER" pilot, appeared in a movie with Jennifer Lopez. Which movie?

Answer: Enough

Noah played a man hired by the Lopez character's ex-husband to kill Lopez and kidnap her daughter. He succeeded at neither. Quite a departure from sweet guy Carter.

Answer: Coming to America

He played a small part in this 1988 movie. What made the part memorable was the line, "I am a loyal citizen of Zamunda!" Eriq LaSalle (Peter Benton) was in the movie as well, in a much bigger role. Mr. Hall has also directed several episodes of "ER."

11. Tom Everett Scott has made several appearances as Abby Lockhart's bipolar brother, Eric Wyzcenski. He was also in a 1990's Tom Hanks movie. Which one?

15. One person has appeared on "ER" longer than nearly anyone. She is Emily Wagner, who plays Pickman. Who is Pickman?
