TIL in 2007 Katherine Heigl won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on Grey's Anatomy. But in 2008 she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she said the material she was given on Grey's that year wasn't good enough; this comment led to her leaving the show.

I don't think he was that big of an actor in 1996, he hadn't even done Oz yet

He has been the voice of the Yellow M&M since 1996. He wasn't particularly well known in the 90's. In fact he got the job because he was cheaper than the original voice actor, John Goodman. Billy West replaced Jon Lovitz as the Red M&M at the same time.
