Cultural Irony and/or Coincidence #3: Party of Five

Matthew Fox and Scott Wolf played brothers Charlie and Bailey Salinger in the mid- to late-90s Fox drama, Party of Five. The mysterious connections don't end there:

1. Now both play troubled doctors on back-to-back shows on ABC: Fox plays Jack Shepherd on Lost and Wolf plays Jeremy Kates on The Nine.
2. Whereas the character of Bailey Salinger became an alcoholic while dealing with the physical loss of his father on Party of Five, Jack Shepherd's father reverts to alcoholism on Lost to deal with the emotional loss of his son.
3. Both names are animals.
4. Fox is a fox who was once on Fox. Wolf shops at Wolf Camera and likes the song "Hungry Like the Wolf."
5. Fox went from a party to being lost, which is not a pleasant transition. Wolf went from 5 to 9, which is not the way to make a living.

Also, Scott Wolf looks a lot like ET:
