Lindsay played the tough Professor Maggie Walsh in season four. She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Places in the Heart in 1984. Lindsay’s full name - Lindsay Ann Crouse - is a pun: her father, Russel Crouse, was one half of the successful Broadway writing/producing team of (Howard) Lindsay and Crouse. Lindsay has also appeared in House of Games, All the President’s Men, The Verdict, Daniel and Desperate Hours. She carries on the weird Buffy tradition of having connections with Little House on the Prairie - she starred as Caroline Ingalls in Beyond the Prairie: The True Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Lindsay appeared in the 1995 movie Bye Bye, Love with Eliza Dushku and Amber Benson. Her TV work includes parts in Alias, Dragnet, Frasier, Providence, NYPD Blue, Millennium, ER and Batman: The Animated Series.

Millennium also has Buffy connections, James Marster and Juliet Landau each star in an episode. Marsters is a disgruntled soldier who kidnaps Peter Watts’ (member of the Millenium group) daughter. Juliet Landau is a pregnant woman who is kidnapped by religious extremists who want to raise her baby to be a priest in the third temple.

I’ve seen Lindsay Crouse on Law and Order reruns a few times. Once she was a judge with really short hair and another time she killed someone. I think.
