<b>Then:</b> Hanks' lone appearance on 'The Love Boat' likely holds a warm place in his heart -- it's his first TV gig. He was Gopher's rich college pal Rick Martin in an ep titled 'Friends and Lovers/Sergeant Bull/Miss Mother.' Other guests in that show included <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/doris-roberts/60603' target='_blank'>Doris Roberts</a> (<a href='http://television.aol.com/show/everybody-loves-raymond/51312/main' target='_blank'>'Everybody Loves Raymond'</a>) and the late <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/vic-tayback/69979' target='_blank'>Vic Tayback</a> (<a href='http://television.aol.com/show/alice/1248973/main' target='_blank'>'Alice'</a>).

<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tom-hanks/93341' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Tom Hanks</font></a>
<b>Now:</b> Hanks disappeared into obscurity ... not! After his hit sitcom <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/bosom-buddies/228321/main' target='_blank'>'Bosom Buddies,'</a> he went on to big-screen fame. At this point, he's been nominated for five Oscars and won two and has expanded into producing (<a href='http://television.aol.com/show/band-of-brothers/273233/main' target='_blank'>'Band of Brothers,'</a> <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/big-love/762053/main' target='_blank'>'Big Love'</a>). He'll reprise his <a href=' http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-da-vinci-code/21002/main' target='_blank'>'Da Vinci Code'</a> role for <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/angels-and-demons/28282/main' target='_blank'>'Angels & Demons'</a> and will be Woody again in <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/toy-story-3/22984/main' target='_blank'>'Toy Story 3.'</a>

<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/janet-jackson/34821' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Janet Jackson</font></a>
<b>Then:</b> Most episodes of 'The Love Boat' had three storylines. The two-parter in which Jackson appeared had four -- 'Girl of the Midnight Sun/There'll Be Some Changes Made/Too Many Isaacs/Mr. Smith Goes to Stockholm.' Needless to say, this was Miss Jackson before she was nasty.

<b>Now:</b> Did 'The Love Boat' turn Jackson off to acting in '85? Her next role wasn't until the 1993's <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/poetic-justice/8293/main' target='_blank'>'Poetic Justice.'</a> Nah, Jackson was probably just too busy selling more than 100 mil albums worldwide. The singer had a much-debated "wardrobe malfunction" at the '04 Super Bowl and last year starred in Tyler Perry's <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/tyler-perrys-why-did-i-get-married/29300/main' target='_blank'>'Why Did I Get Married?'</a>

<b>Then:</b> Before he was the Hoff, he juggled duties as Dr. Snapper Foster on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/the-young-and-the-restless/62593/main' target='_blank'>'The Young and the Restless'</a> with two 'Love Boat' guest spots -- a 1980 ep, 'Invisible Maniac/September Song/Peekaboo,' with <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/the-brady-bunch/62253/main' target='_blank'>'Brady Bunch''s</a> <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/ann-b-davis/17292' target='_blank'>Ann B.

<b>Now:</b> Despite well-publicized personal battles, Hasselhoff is a busy man. He's a judge on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/americas-got-talent/223363/main' target='_blank'>'America's Got Talent,'</a> is reportedly developing a pilot for E! called 'Tales From the Hoff' (which parallels his showbiz struggles) and returned to the recording studio to work on an album that will be released in Germany. (The Germans continue to love him.)

<b>Now:</b> Spelling's memoir's 'Tori Telling' is due in bookstores in March '08. The tome promises to dish all on the TV star's love life (she's been married twice), her struggles to find work after <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/beverly-hills-90210/62628/main' target='_blank'>'90210'</a> ended, and the rumored "disinheritance" and "feud" with her mother Candy after her father's death in 2006.

<b>Then:</b> Hogan squeezed onto 'The Love Boat' roster of guest stars in the show's final season (1986) in 'Miss Mom/Who's the Champ/Gopher's Delusion.' The pro wrestler shared screen time with a real athlete, Olympic winner <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/bruce-jenner/35476' target='_blank'>Bruce Jenner.</a> (No disrespect meant to wrestling, Mr. Hogan.)

His son, Nick, crashed a car, resulting in severe injuries to his passenger.
