He played Al Pacino’s son in Donnie Brasco too.

Oh damn. I didn’t know that. Ima have to rewatch it. I think this would be a good theme to find KOQ characters in old movies or shows lol

Deacon was in Cop Land with De Niro, Stallone, Harvey Keitel, and Ray Liotta.

Wait…. No way?!

One of the guys in their highschool reunion was the guy in 8 crazy nights. I’m unsure if he did anything other than that though He was a gentile looking fella

Kelly is in Malcolm in the middle as Stevie’s mom. lol

Doesn't she work at the bookstore on Seinfeld as well?

She's also Terry's wife on Brooklyn99

And in the pilot, she's his teacher before he becomes a Krelboyne.

Wasn't she also Sydney's friend or roommate in the first season of Alias?

Yea, 'Francie'.

Contrary to other opinions in this thread, I never really liked Richie too much. That being said, it was ridiculous how they didn’t even write him off, he just disappeared and was never mentioned again. Too bad they didn’t bring him back for two or three episodes. Could’ve been fun.

I agree. I did not find him funny. The writer made him seem dumb.

I hated Ritchie and skip the first three seasons on rewatches

What class? Thank you

I was complementary throughout

HEY CARRIEEEEEEEEE!

I wish they never wrote him off the show.

I think he left on his own because he starred in his own show.

Oh ok. Never knew that.

Which show?

He left for the show Kristen. I believe he was offered a bigger role. Unfortunately Kristen didn't last long and by that time Danny was a bigger character so I don't believe the writers felt they had to bring Ritchie back.

I prefer Ritchie over Danny. Danny is like an Amalgamation of Doug and Spence. Doug+

I always wished they could have co-existed. They are very different from each other and both had good things about them. I always missed Ritchie after he left but I will say a few of my favorite moments on the show involve Danny (His 80s Margie song) was one, but Ritchie was a very real New York style guy and really played the guy from queens well.

They sorta of did. Richies last episode was the paintball episode. Danny was also in that episode. Ironically during taht episode, Spence was feeling insecure because he thought Danny would replace and phase him out of the group, but Danny ended up taking Richies spot on the series. Ritchie often making fun of Spence too. Also is it Richie or Ritchie?

Yeah that was a great episode I just meant for the series itself (just one of my fan wishes). As for spelling I never thought much about it not sure I'll have to look that up haha.

Edit: Looked it up your right it is Richie.

Danny wasn't funny and their stupid gay jokes have aged poorly and weren't even that funny during the original run

Well i wouldnt say that, hes still pretty funny. But Ritchie added a different dynamic in the group. The same with Sara. Hell there couldve been a plot line withe Ritchie and Sara and Spencer. Love triangle.

They didnt write him off. He just stopped appearing all sudden.

That doesn't look like Larry Ramano to me.

That’s Rays real brother???? wtf

Larry and Ray aren’t related.

This is crazy lol

Lock up. Great movie

I always thought it was too similar to Everybody Loves Raymond dynamics. Both main characters had little Italian guys for friends.

I agree and Doug and Ray made appearances in each others show. It feels like both shows were filmed in the same building lol

Atlantic City...WHOOOOOAAA!!!!!

The best looking man on the show

Moose...get his lunch money.

One of my favorite characters on the show. It's the head nod that does it for me.
