    • Trivia
      Although Porter appeared in Angel (1999) for only a few moments in a single episode (Season 1, Episode 5: Rm w/a Vu), the shot of his face looking upward in despair was so powerful and moving that it remains in the opening credits through the rest of the series' run, including the final episode.
