Cameos and Guest Stars Made The Show What It Was
During its original eight seasons, “Will & Grace” featured 166 celebrity cameos. While some made single appearances, others went on to play major characters on the show. Among them are Alec Baldwin as Malcolm Whidmark, Eileen Brennan as Zandra, and John Cleese as Lyle Finster. In an interview with Oprah, Sean Hayes revealed his favorite celebrity cameo was Matt Damon as Owen, a straight man trying to sneak his way into the New York Gay Men’s Chorus and beat Jack out of the top spot.
