Felix Ryan on "Victorious" (2011)

Before leaving for New Zealand to film Power Rangers Samurai, Felix Ryan (Spike, Samurai) filmed a guest appearance on the popular Nickelodeon teen comedy, "Victorious." The series follows the teenaged Tori and her friends as they navigate life while attending a performing arts high school. In the eighteenth episode, "A Film by Dale Squires," the teens learn they will be putting together a short film to be directed by a young hotshot director (and former student) Dale Squires. Felix Ryan's character, Damian is amongst the students. While he sits with Tori's group, he is a strange misfit who shows no interest in the project or anything positive that Tori and her friends have to say. He appears in a few later scenes of the episode. Damien can be seen in the background, as the teens are making the short film and he later applauds at the premiere, even after seeing that Dale Squires has robbed the kids of credit on the film and given himself all the publicity, despite barely helping them complete the short film. Ryan appears in several scenes with former Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight star, Stephen Lunsford who guest stars in this episode as Dale Squires.

Nikolai Nikolaeff on "Sea Patrol" - 12 (2009)

Season 3 of "Sea Patrol" came to an end with the thirteenth episode, "Red Reef." One of the show's recurring storylines involved the death of their crew mate, E.T. (who was replaced on the series by Nikolai Nikolaeff). This episode brings that storyline full circle, as the crew of the HMS Hammersley find themselves crossing paths with Campbell Fulton, a suspicious character whom they have encountered in the past due to his dealings with E.T., who is trying to smuggle oil. They trace Fulton back to the wealthy couple who hired E.T. for the job that led to his death. The Robsens claim they fired Fulton and have nothing to do with the smuggling but soon the crew discovers otherwise. Nikolai Nikolaeff (Dominic, Jungle Fury) reprises his role as the Hammersley's Electronics Technician, Leo '2 Dads' Kosov-Meyer. '2 Dads' interacts with his crew mate Nikki, who is on edge over the Fulton case (E.T. was her fiancé). When E.T.'s fish hits the deck, '2 Dads' tries to help Nikki save him but it's too late. The loss of her fiancé's pet causes her even more grief. '2 Dads' later helps the crew track down the Robsens and arrest them after Fulton confesses to being ordered by them to kill E.T.

Deborah Estelle Philips on "The Cavenaughs" - 2 (2010)

Deborah Estelle Philips (Katie, Time Force) continued her role in the web series "The Cavenaughs." The series' second episode actually spends more time on her character, Charley, as viewers learn that Charley is indeed not looking forward to getting married. The title "Woman in White" refers to Charley, as she reveals to her close friend, Maddie, that it was Maddie's brother's death that led to Charley's engagement. She tells Maddie that the death brought her closer to her mother and she felt the need to make her family happy, knowing how much they want grandchildren. It's also revealed that Charley is actually more interested in women than men, which Maddie already knew, given the rumors that the two were having a relationship together. Charley reveals that she's slowed down the wedding preparations by tainting some cookies, which made her parents sick and unable to travel. Despite all of this, the episode ends with Maddie helping Charley try on her wedding dress. The episode runs just under eight & a half minutes.












Episode 2 of "The Cavenaughs" can be seen on Youtube
