For example, Cameron's father in Ferris Bueller or the Emperor in the original Star Wars. Who did you envision in your mind's eye for key parts.

Does Howard's mom in The Big Bang Theory count? She is heard, but rarely, if ever, seen. Immediately came to my mind.

Cameron didn't have a father, he was simply a figure of Cam's schizophrenic psychosis.

I always saw Bob Sacamano as a Gary Busey type.

For a couple of seasons, T. Tommy Reed on Designing Women. Anthony told stories of the fearsome inmate, who was paradoxically brutally violent, yet obsessed with etiquette and dancing.

They did finally cast the character (M.C. Gainey) and he made a couple of episode appearances.

I always figured Maris Crane as a Lara Flynn Boyle-type. Anorexic with the look of zero-to-bitch in 5 seconds. After Niles started dating Mel I pictured her instead, but that's not a big change.

Vera Peterson

Dr. Claw.

Kathy Kinney would probably fit the bill for both.

For the Diner remake, Eddie's fiancee:





Well, frick. I may have to find another image hosting service. PhotoBucket is giving me a .jpg link as expected, but it resolves to a 90 KB HTML file full of JavaScript and ad code. It displays properly here, but if you save the image, you get the HTML, not the image. Total bullshite. This does not happen with my avi or sig pic. WTF?

Figured it out. If I append ~original to the file name, so it's "filename.jpg~original", then it appears normally AND I can save it to disk as a .jpg. This is new. WTF?
