The former lives of ''Survivor'' contestants
Sundra Oakley
SEX AND THE CITY (2000)
The race relations on Survivor are positively tame compared with
Sundra's stint on Sex, where (as restaurant owner Adeena Williams) she
informs Samantha that ''I have a problem with my only brother getting
serious with a white woman.'' This leads to racial slurs and an
incredible catfight between the two that demands to be watched over and
over again in slow motion.
Jonathan Penner
THE TICK (2001)
Showcasing his impressive range, Jonathan plays both shady lawyer Steve
Philbert and his superhero alter ego, Champion, in the short-lived Fox
series. Seemingly a magnet for controversy, Philbert runs the
prestigious League of Superheroes, which is being sued for — you guessed
it — discrimination. It's a truly nuanced performance that calls to
mind...oh, forget it. Just look at that hair!
Jonathan Penner
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (2004)
Penner! Again! Hitting up yet another culty Fox sitcom, Jonathan plays a
cop questioning Michael about Kitty's disappearance (although the Bluth
clan does not cave in as easily as Flica). And while no baby birds are
discovered, Penner does display his soft side: His character lets his
kid sit in on questioning as part of Take Your Daughter to Work Day.
Awwww.
Oscar Lusth
FOURSOME (2006)
Playboy TV's reality dating show features two girls and two guys
spending 24 hours in a mansion where anything goes. In Ozzy's case,
''anything'' includes having sex...with both women! (No discriminating
here.) He also offers up an early glimpse as to his current domination
of Survivor water-based challenges by dexterously hooking up in a hot tub.
