Xander Berkeley and Felicity Huffman in "Ice" Season 1 Episode 8

[@raksh9]

Funny, I was just watching Season 3 this week, and thought, "Wait, is that Ryan Reynolds? Can't be. Hang on, is that Jack Black??" Then Lucy Liu turned up in Hell Money. Thanks for all the cameos, this is a great compilation.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Jay de boom! That was one of my favorite episodes of this season (the best season imo), reminds me of the movie Craft. and DPO too ofc with Rabisi and Jack Black

[@DepressedLemur9]

[@darkgenesis611]

No Seth Green? Or was he already famous back then?
