I can't recall the name of the actor who played Lester the electronics guy from season one,but he had a small part in "Planet Terror" one of the movies from the Grindhouse feature in 2007.Bruce Willis(Tony Amato)was in that as well.

And the actress who played the baglady in LMD also played Travolta's mother in Saturday Night Fever. And Travolta's father in that was played by the guy who played Gus Albierro in Forgive Us Our Debts!
