On Wednesday night, actress Molly Ringwald appeared as a nurse at a mental institution that was infiltrated by Shawn and Gus on Psych.  Molly, of course, is known for her work on the 80’s series Facts of Life and classic 80’s films like Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club. In recent years she has appeared on the ABC Family Channel series The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Actor Brad Dourif was also a guest star in this episode. Dourif was the patient in the mental institution that everyone thought killed his assistant. Dourif is a veteran of movies and TV having co-starred in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers as well as appeared in many TV series including Fringe, Deadwood and Once Upon a Time.

It was a double header on Thursday night with actor Alan Dale and actress Aubrey Dollar appearing on the new episode of Person of Interest.

Alan, of course, is best known for his work on The O.C. and Lost, but he also appeared in the first season of NCIS, had a recurring role on Ugly Betty and 24. He has most recently appeared in The Killing and Entourage.  Aubrey, on the other hand, got her start on the daytime soap Guiding Light and has appeared in the short-lived series Women’s Murder Club as well as episodes of Dawson’s Creek and the short-live series Point Pleasant.

That same night on Burn Notice, actors Rick Gomez and Jonathan Adams appeared as a scientist and lunatic warlord respectively.

Rick will be most recognized by TV viewers from his role on What About Brian, but he also appeared in the short-lived remake of Cupid, the mini-series Band of Brothers and several episodes of Justified.

Whereas, Jonathan is best known for his roles on American Dreams and Bones, but he got his first big break on the short-lived series American Embassy and has appeared in episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles, 24, The Cleaner, The Glades and Hellcats.

Lastly, on Friday night’s episode of Nikita, actress Angela Sarafyan appeared as a Russian sex worker while actor Malik Yoba appeared as an immigration officer.

Angela has appeared in the short-lived series The Good Guys and episodes of In Plain Sight, Wanted, 24, Lincoln Heights, Eastwick and Criminal Minds.

Malik, on the other hand, is one of the leads on the Syfy series Alphas, but is probably best known for his role on New York Undercover. He has also appeared in episodes of Girlfriends, the short-lived series Defying Gravity and the box office film Cool Runnings.
