to:

* ''Series/{{Oz}}'':
** Creator/LeeTergesen was best known for his role in the comedy series ''Series/WeirdScience'', making his turn as the mentally unstable convict and rape victim Tobias Beecher a notable and much darker contrast.
** Similarly, Creator/JonSeda, generally known for playing heroic and sympathetic characters, played a homophobic and short-tempered convict in the pilot. He wasn't without redeeming or sympathetic traits, but was generally more unsympathetic than his prior and future roles.
** Creator/ZeljkoIvanek was best known for playing nice guys and {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s. His role as the cruel and spiteful SmugSnake Governor James Devlin was markedly different, and he quickly wound up type-cast as villains instead.
** Creator/LuisGuzman, generally cast as the comic relief or generally nice characters, had a recurring role as the hardened and vicious gang leader El Cid.
** Creator/KathrynErbe played a deranged and racist woman who murdered her own children.
** Creator/LukePerry as a repentant former scam televangelist actively trying to become the man he pretended to be.
