I was watching the scene at the beginning and I couldn't help but think of Jerry ver Dorn as Ross Marler. The mannerisms...the way the actor playing Joe is delivering his lines makes me think of Ross. The facial expressions and head movements between sentences. Starting with 1:42 and the way he arches upward in his chair as he talks and then the dramatic pauses...just little subtle things like that made me think of Ross.
There would be no Bauer family without Meta. She was first introduced as the roommate of one of the established characters. She was hiding her past. She tearfully reunited with Mama and Papa Bauer when Mama nearly died. I think that was a different actress. Early in the TV run they recast Meta with Ellen Demming, who played her for about 20 years.
