Hey, I always think that Lost will end up being a weird dream Tim McManus is having after being pragged by Adebisi...only for McManus to wake up and realize he was married to Claire Howell (that real brutal female guard who accused McManus of sexual harassment).

... and then he finds out that Chris Keller and Shirley Bellinger are NYPD detectives, Fr. Mukuda and Vern Shillinger are both government pshrinks, and just about every other actor from "Oz" has been either a witness or a suspect or a lawyer at one time or other.

Tom Fontana, the creator of "Oz" and "Homicide," and Dick Wolf, the creator of the "Law & Order" franchise, are close friends. They like a lot of the same actors. I can't think of many Oz cast members who haven't appeared on one L&O show or another. "Lost" seems to be keeping some of the same folks gainfully employed.

IIRC, Dean Winters (Ryan O'Reilly) was on the first season of SVU.

And then he finds out Beecher is a sad lonely headbanger hanging out with Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar in Peoria, Illinois.

And sadly, we never got to see Sister Peter Marie Reimondo get the inmates' attention by yelling "HEYYYYYYYYY YOUUUUUUUUU GUYYYYYYYYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (that was Rita Moreno's trademark line from The Electric Company)

The main reason I said maybe Lost could be a Tim McManus nightmare is because both Harold Perrineau (Augustus Hill) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Adebisi) were both on Lost.
