HOT GALLERY: Looking Back at the Stars of St. Elsewhere, Some of the Most Beloved Doctors in TV History
Before ER, before Grey’s Anatomy, before House and Nurse Jackie, came St. Elsewhere, an irreverent, hilarious, controversial series that broke a lot of ground. Over its six seasons, it addressed AIDS, addiction, infidelity, rape—not to mention the deaths of several main characters. Thirty-two years later, it’s clear that one of the most astonishing things about it was its ensemble cast (the show gave some very talented actors their big break). Oh, and we’d be remiss not to mention that memorable—and hummable—theme song. Just don’t even get us started on the series finale—to this day, one of the most talked-about and oft-maligned in TV history: Was St. Eligius hospital all a figment of an autistic boy’s (Chad Allen) imagination?

Harmon had memorable stints on series like Chicago Hope (as another doctor) and The West Wing (as an ill-fated agent). His movie credits include Freaky Friday and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Of course, nowadays he’s best known for starring in one of the most popular dramas on television, NCIS, as Special Agent Jethro Gibbs.
