Alumni from Jericho

I notice several cast members from Jericho have guest appearances in Lie To Me . I wonder if there's some connection . Did one of the Jericho producers work on LTM later on ?

I've seen Lennie James (Hawkins), Kenneth Mitchel (Eric), Brad Beyer (Stanley), Alicia Coppola (Mimi), and Soshannah Stern (Bonnie) .
