- Khandi Alexander. Khandi Alexander got her start as a dancer and choreographer, working with Whitney Houston, appearing in the video for Natalie Cole's 1988 cover of "Pink Cadillac," and making small appearances in films like "CB4" and "What's Love Got to Do with It."

- Dave Foley. The secret to Dave Nelson, Foley's character on "NewsRadio," is that he is not the straight man. A normal comedic structure might have Dave as the rational one contending with all the eccentrics flying around him — but the show only gives the appearance of that, taking advantage of Foley's boyish good looks and all-American (or all-Canadian, rather) wholesomeness.
- Phil Hartman. Phil Hartman was arguably the biggest star on "NewsRadio." The veteran comedian was coming off of eight years as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," where he played current presidents, future presidents, and every type of character in between.
