He starred in the science-fiction movies Deja Vu, I, Robot and The Core, and the short-lived TV series Nowhere Man, which aired on UPN aired from 1995 to 1996.

I'm betting most or none of us have casted a film before!

"Outer Space: The Last Frontier.
These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy."

How many "big names" were in shows like Friends or Sienfeld when they premiered?

Actually, Courteney Cox was somewhat of a big name when Friends premiered. Some of the first write-ups made it sound like she was the star of the show, and I think early promo images had her front and center.
