The actor played an attorney on a L&O episode
Don't recall how long ago and I think he has since died (???)

Dr. James Wilson, from House.

11. Dave Wilson
of Wilson Audio Specialties. Designer of the best loudspeakers in the world (in the opinion of most of the world's audio press - including me - and much of the pro audio world) and an incredibly nice and generous human being. I admit he is a personal friend of mine, but we only became friends after I reviewed his speakers.

19. Reagan Wilson Miss October 1967
Her pic made it to the moon on Apollo 12.



From Wiki: As one of the many pranks pulled during the friendly rivalry between the all-Navy prime crew and the all-Air Force backup crew, the Apollo 12 backup crew managed to insert into the astronaut's lunar checklist (attached to the wrists of Conrad's and Bean's spacesuits) reduced-sized pictures of Playboy centerfolds, surprising Conrad and Bean when they looked through the checklist flip-book during their first EVA.

Appearing in Conrad's checklist were Angela Dorian, Miss September 1967 (with the caption "SEEN ANY INTERESTING HILLS & VALLEYS ?") and Reagan Wilson, Miss October 1967 ("PREFERRED TETHER PARTNER") referring to a special procedure that would require the sharing of life support resources.
