10 TV Shows That Cast Major Actors (Just To Die)
7. Michael Keaton - 30 Rock
30 Rock's double episode at the end of its fifth season, "100," saw a number of guest stars enter the fray, including most prominently Tom Hanks and Michael Keaton.
Keaton appeared as Tom, a janitor working at 30 Rockefeller Plaza who discovers a gas leak and goes about fixing it - or rather, breaking the ventilation system so that Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) hallucinates an alternate reality version of himself. Yup.
Though nobody expected Keaton to be sticking around for a long tenure in the series, he surprisingly enough met a grisly end by the conclusion of the double-episode.
In the tradition of any character who mentions they're one day from retirement, Tom gets mortally wounded by a stray bullet. The last we see of him, he's bleeding profusely and cursing how close he got to making it through his last day. Hilarious.
