In the season one finale of Kevin Can Wait, Remini was brought on to play Kevin's former police partner Vanessa. The chemistry between the two actors hadn't slipped since the King of Queens days, so the producers decided to bump up Remini to a series regular in season two.

The famous father of comedian Ben Stiller was the third major star of King of Queens, appearing in all-but ten episodes.
Stiller played Arthur, the lovable father-in-law to Heffernan, who lived in the basement of the young couple's home.
Earlier this month, Stiller celebrated his 90th birthday, but he's still doing a bit of acting here and there. He reprised his role of Maury in Zoolander 2 last year, and lent his voice to Planes: Fire & Rescue in 2014.

Gary Valentine played Doug's cousin Danny on King of Queens, but the family connection isn't just on-screen.
