Suzanne Cryer Movies
Primarily a Broadway performer, Suzanne Cryer is slowing making her presence known on film. She received her M.F.A. degree from Yale and has developed quite an impressive theatrical resumé, appearing in the Neil Simon play Proposals in 1997 and directing her own version of William Shakespeare's Macbeth in 1999. In 1998, she began appearing in a recurring role on the ABC sitcom, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. ~ RoviThe revelation that Izzie (Katherine Heigl) once gave up a daughter for adoption is a challenge which George (T. R. Knight) is willing to face, or so he thinks. Down in the dumps over her vacillating relationship with Derek (Patrick Dempsey), Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) must also contend with her stepmother Susan (Mare Willingham). Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Burke (Isaiah Washington) have trouble summoning enthusiasm over their impending marriage as long as Colin (Roger Rees) remains on the scene. Alex (Justin Chambers) is convinced that he has found the family of the beleagured "Jane Doe" (Elizabeth Reaser). And in a lighter moment, Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) teaches an old dog--namely Dr. Webber (James Pickens Jr.)--a few new tricks. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This leads to a hilarious denouement in which the guilt-stricken Frasier trails Roz all the way to her family reunion in Wisconsin. And on the subject of long trips, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) are on the verge of taking their long-delayed Hawaiian vacation -- until they get some bad news from Daphne's mom (Millicent Martin). ~ Rovi

Upon finding out that Steve (John Carroll Lynch) is cheating on Mimi (Kathy Kinney) with a boozy hairstylist named Gloria (Jeanetta Arnette), Drew (Drew Carey) tries to avert disaster by dating Gloria himself. This puts a crimp in Drew's "real" love life, which at the moment is focused on sexy coworker Karen (Suzanne Cryer). And the results are hardly worth the trouble: Mimi and Steve break up, and Gloria and Karen take turns bitch-slapping Drew. Meanwhile, the store's young owners Scott (Jonathan Mangum) and Evan (Kyle Howard) are on the verge of discovering that "old man" Drew is totally tech-ignorant. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
The Christmas holidays are fast approaching when Los Angeles native Ian (George Newbern) gets an unexpected invitation from his father (David Rasche) to join him for a vacation in Park City, Utah. The two don't get along especially well, but Ian goes partly in hopes of patching up the relationship, and partly because his friends figure it would be a nice vacation. In fact, they're so convinced that several of them end up tagging along. Good looking guy Jon (Stephen Baldwin) is determined to seduce good looking gal Carla (an obviously well-cast Claudia Schiffer), despite heavy competition from German ski instructor Hans (Robert Downey Jr.), while David (Danny Nucci) is equally determined to do something about his pesky virginity. Meanwhile, Keaton (Neill Barry) discovers his sister (Suzanne Cryer) is dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, and she wants Keaton to resolve his issues with their father before it's too late. But Keaton has other emotional issues to deal with when he finds out his longtime friend Lisa (Alison Eastwood) wants them to move past friendship into a deeper relationship. This romantic comedy-drama was the debut feature from writer/director George Haas. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Yes, this is the one in which George's current girlfriend uses the phrase "yada yada" -- and drives George (Jason Alexander) crazy by leaving out the important details between the "yadas."Tim Whatley, Jerry's dentist (played by Malcolm in the Middle's Bryan Cranston) converts to Judaism, and Jerry suspects that his only motivation may be the ability to get away with telling Jewish jokes. Meanwhile, Kramer (Michael Richards) and his actor friend Mickey (Danny Woodburn) fight over which girl they'll get on a double date. And Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) thoroughly louses up the chances for her married friends Beth (Debra Messing) and Arnie (Stephen Caffrey) to adopt a child. This is also the episode in which real life marrieds Robert Wagner and Jill St. John turn up at the end (as Mickey's parents, Dr. Abbott and Mrs. Abbott) and accuse Jerry of being an "Anti-Dentite."

In a 29-day shoot, Barry Levinson filmed this $15 million political and media satire, adapted by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet from Larry Beinhart's novel, American Hero. Two weeks prior to re-election, the President (Michael Belson) is accused of cornering an underage girl in the Oval Office. To keep the media from learning of this, Presidential adviser Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) brings in political consultant and spin doctor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro), a specialist in such salvage operations. Brean suggests fabricating denials of non-existent emergencies -- such as denials about the B-3 bomber. The denial, of course, is true, since no B-3 bomber exists. Brean visits the mansion of Hollywood producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) and gives him the assignment to create a patriotic campaign centered around a war in Albania. Motss assembles a creative team -- Liz Butsky (Andrea Martin), the trend-setter Fad King (Denis Leary), and songwriter Johnny Green (Willie Nelson). Treated like an ad campaign, the songs and symbols are transmitted directly from a Hollywood soundstage to CNN. The star of their campaign is a "rescued" pilot -- in reality, a psychotic military prisoner (Woody Harrelson), who's a ticking time bomb. The flag-waving song, "The American Dream" was written for the film by Tom Bahler (who co-wrote "We Are the World"). Beinhart's original novel involved a real President (Bush), a real war (the Gulf War), and the premise that George Bush and Saddam Hussein staged it. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

A priest named Father Jay (Luke Reilly) comes to the defense of Tommy Beltran (Luis Antonio Ramos), a poor youth accused of murdering his wealthy girlfriend. It appears that the girl's short-tempered father (David Leary) had ordered her to break off the relationship. But if the D.A.'s office wants any more information, they are stymied by the fact that Tommy "told all" at his church confessional -- information that Father Jay can not and will not reveal. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
