Two For The Price Of One

A Grey’s Anatomy double-header. Before Meredith Grey took over Thursday nights, Ellen Pompeo played the villain on a L&O episode that was loosely based on the trial of Canadian killer Karla Homolka. The next year Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery-Shepherd) also played the gorgeous guilty party; this time as a hot-shot female pilot.

Ellen Pompeo: Savior
Air Date: Wednesday March 13, 1996
Summary: A down-on-his-luck ad executive becomes the prime suspect when his wife and son are killed, and his daughter wounded on a night that he claims was spent drinking.

Kate Walsh: Navy Blues
Air Date: Wednesday October 15, 1997
Summary: McCoy finds himself battling the Navy and the office of the Judge Advocate General as he tries to prosecute a female pilot accused of murdering her married lover after he tried to break off with her.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Samuel L Jackson:
Another double-header of sorts. This episode, which apparently has an entire blog post devoted to it, featured a then-unknown Phillip Seymour Hoffman as one of the accused and a sort of known Samuel L Jackson as his lawyer.

The Violence of Summer
Air Date: Tuesday February 5, 1991
Summary: Greevey and Logan reopen an investigation to help Stone and Robinette build a stronger case against three boys accused of gang-raping a TV reporter.

Ellen Pompeo actually made two appearances on Law & Order before she hit it big. The other episode she was in was titled Savior from 1990. In this episode she paid some classmates to kill her mother. My favorite before they were famous appearance was Cynthia Nixon. She appeared in a episode called Subterranean Homeboy Blues in which she shoots two men on a subway and says it was self defense. Also noteworthy about this episode is that she shared screentime with Chris Noth. He played Mike Logan before he and Nixon worked together on Sex and the City.
