Johnny Venokur Moondoggie Candyboy on "Search for Tomorrow" and Vince in Savage Streets
Adam West The Big Kahuna TV's "Batman," who reinvented himself as a self-parody of Camp personified. He's played many a bit part and cartoon voice. 
Sydney Lassick Bruno Charactor actor who portrays weird/disruputable guys, like Mr. Fromm in Carrie and Cheswick in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Carmen Electra Sulka Supermodel and Playboy centerfold, she's been the eye candy in many a production. Mostly Smithee-worthy. 
Debra Xavier Katrina AKA "Debora" or "Deborah." Only two credits. And this one doesn't count. Actually, neither does the other. 
Daisy Tormé Dee Dee Daughter of legendary lounge-lizard Mel "Velvet Fog" Tormé. Sadly not as talented and uses her voice mainly for video-game roles.
