Colbert Nation member and Super YouTube Detective BettieKills stumbled upon this gem featuring a fresh faced Stephen Colbert, complete with Southern accent, playing a small guest role as Chet Davies in the second episode of “Missing Persons” entitled “Cabe… What Kind of Name Is That?”
A DVD of the series can be purchased as part of the “Prime Time Crime: The Stephen J. Cannell Collection”, which also features the likes of Johnny Depp and Jeff Goldblum.
(Stephen is featured from 14:45 -15:00 and 0:00 – 0:50)
ah hahaha! He is SO cute! And that accent is just so sweet. I never knew that existed.

OMG!!!! Stephen’s poor wife (Evie or Lorraine? No! It’s Mary Lou! Mary Lou?! Who the f___ is she! I guess Stephen is really an old school Mormon. Live and learn.) had a cabinet fall on her and she was “pinned to the cold, concrete floor!” (That’s a Tom Waits song title, right?) And that can “suck the warmth out of your body!” This is terrible! Oh the humanity!
Sorry.
Am I the only one who was waiting for Amy or Paul to pop up in this “drama?”
Thanks for finding this BettieKills. It’s a hoot!

The hospital looks just like the one they used for all the SWC episodes. I kept expecting Principal Blackman to show up. It’s always great to see Stephen in his early work, whatever it may be
. Keep the eagle eyes out for these Hubsters!

It’s funny that you should say that because, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen “The Fugitive”, but Greg Holliman is actually in it for a very short time playing (and I’m not kidding) a “roller-skating orderly”. He just rolls on up to the scene in a hospital in his skates! It’s so weird!

Wow how “dramatic” writing has changed since the 90s!!
CSI: NY “When Cabinet’s Fall”
Join Mac and the team as they race against the clock to save one of their own, as a madman terrorises the city with specially engineered filing cabinets of death.

Who uses “filing cabinets” anymore? Such a ’90s concept. It’s all cloud computing and pdfs now.

Filing cabinets are an office must!! Where else are you going to hide all of the booze and contraband?

Love it! Make sure you get this written before someone else steals it…
Oh. They already did that here!
