Jon Cryer
Yes! Alan Harper is finally back, ok well not Alan exactly, but the man who gave him life, Jon Cryer (who plays Jim in 'Extended Family'). The 12-and-a-half seasons (and 262 episodes) Cryer played Harper on the mega-hit sitcom 'Two-and-a-half Men' garnered him two Emmy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And even though many (this writer included) believed that the show post-Charlie Sheen had all the humor of a dead kitten, there is no denying that Cryer excelled in his role. Younger fans may know him as Lex Luthor in the so-so 'Supergirl' series.
Abigail Spencer
Spencer may be most famous for playing Lucy Preston in the series 'Timeless' but she was absolutely outstanding as Amanda Holden (a character that oozed sexuality and trauma in equal measure) in the superb 'Rectify'. She also starred as Dr Megan Hunt on 'Grey's Anatomy' and Dana Scott on 'Suits'. She plays Julia in 'Extended Family'. Spencer will feature in the upcoming sports movie 'One Heart' and the TV series 'Shatter Belt'
Donald Faison
Is 'Scrubs' one of the best comedy series ever? Well in our honest opinion, it's definitely in the Top 15 of all time. Faison's character -- Christopher Turk -- in that show perfectly dovetailed with Zach Braff's JD, Sarah Chalke's Elliot and Judy Reyes's Zoila. So let's hope he brings that same zing and zip to 'Extended Family' in which he plays Trey (Julia's love interest). He can also be seen in the upcoming series 'Powerpuff'.
