He's also been a James Bond villian.

It was pretty cool to see this guy again.
Agreed. Loved him in Last Action Hero. Really happy to see him play another villainous role.
He's also been a James Bond villian.
And the lead of the brilliant Brazil.
Been watching Vikings recently and someone pointed out in one of the threads that King Ecbert is played by the same actor as Thomas Wayne from Batman Begins.

John Rhys-Davies
Played an elf king in the TV the Shannara Chronicles
And Gimli the dwarf in LoTR
He was also Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark
And here he is in Beverly Hills Cop.
And here he is in Gremlins
Blew my mind when I noticed.
The real surprise in the Breaking Bad cast is Mark Margolis actually having been in Scarface, considering how many references there are to it in Breaking Bad.
Also pretty funny that Hector Salamanca and the dude from all the Daren Arrenofsky movies is also Ace Ventura's landlord.

And if you listen closely to the dialogue in that scene, you can actually hear him say, "Jesus Christ!"So I just watched the Rock yesterday. Remember the pilot who almost vaporizes Nic Cage at the end?
It was Jim Caviezel
Better know for playing Jesus Christ in the Passion of the Christ and the main role in Person of Interest.

Ok, this one blew my mind...
Miriam from...Children of Men
Is also... Trunchbull !!!!!!!l
This blew my mind. I need to watch Matilda again to see if it still holds up.
I was watching law and order the other day and the Asian lady that plays madam what's her name in daredevil had a 3 second role. Of course that sort of thing isn't unusual for law and order. They have nobodies on all the time playing a victim or criminal or an extra then years later they are well known.
Fuuuuuuuck me. Holy shit.This always fucks with my head because my mum watched Soldier Soldier and listened to their shit albums when I was a kid.

The guy who plays James Bond in Casino Royale is the same guy who played James Bond in Spectre.
Slit from Fury Road:
Is Young Styker from the recent X-men movies:
Woah.
I had no idea.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Just after I posted this, I realized it's also relevant to this thread, so I'll post it here too:
Everyone knows that Arnold Schwarzenegger was at one time the highest grossing actor in the world, which he owed to his many roles in high profile action movies during their heyday, the 1980's.
Bill Paxton is an actor that I don't think of as being associated so closely with action movies, though he has been in quite a number of them. Surprisingly, he has appeared in more than a few with Arnold Schwarzenegger. While many may be aware that he was in True Lies, where he played this ridiculous motherfucker:
Before that he was in another Schwarzenegger fueled action classic, Commando, where he played the guy that Clint Howard later played in Austin Powers 2:
And while he doesn't appear with Schwarzenegger on screen, he starred as that annoying cop in the sequel to Schwarzenegger's Predator in Predator 2:
His most notable action movie role is probably in Aliens, where he played this unbearable ass:
And while it may not seem like it, this is also due to his Schwarzenegger connection. His casting in Aliens is likely due to his relationship with James Cameron, whom he met while working on the original Terminator:
Alright, you may be thinking "there's no Bill Paxton there," so I encourage you to take another look:
Just look at that tooth gap! Who else could it be?
Another actor famous for his ultra masculine roles in testosterone fueled 80's movies is Jean Claude van Damme:
In fact, Van Damme was so well associated with pretending to beat people's asses that he was pegged for a starring role in the ass beating simulator Mortal Kombat:
Er, wait a minute
There we go.
Anyway, Mortal Kombat took influence from a great many martial arts movies from the 70's and 80's, and it's star was going to be Jean Claude van Damme. However, when he pulled out of the agreement his character was turned into Johnny Cage. But, besides martial arts movies, Mortal Kombat also took influence from the unavoidably monolithic filmography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, basing the appearance of the character Kano on the Terminator:
Mortal Kombat its self became unavoidably monolithic, spawning toys, comic books cartoons, and even movies. In the movie, Trevor Goddard played Kano:
The first Mortal Kombat movie had money for one big name actor, and instead of doing the logical thing and having Jean Claude van Damme play Johnny Cage, they had this guy do it:
Ah, okay, that's where he belongs.
Anyway, they spent their actor budget on Christopher Lambert; at some point someone decided that he should play Raiden. The movie was an unprecedented success, and spawned a sequel which starred even more unknowns, including this guy:
You don't know who that guy is, but his name is Brian Thompson, and he had minor roles in action movies like Sylvester Stallone's version of Beverly Hills Cop, which he called Cobra:
Having looked at him twice in a row, you're probably saying to yourself "that guy looks kind of familiar," and you're right, because you also saw him further up in this post:
I know what you're thinking: "I KNEW that wasn't Bill Paxton!"
NO! Not the blue haired guy, the guy next to him. That's Brian Thompson.
Now, you'll notice up there that one of the pictures of Brian Thompson has him playing Shao Kahn, a character in Mortal Kombat. You'll also remember that another Mortal Kombat character was based on the Terminator, but it was more than just Kano's appearance that was based on the murderous machine; Mortal Kombat is famous for letting you brutally murder your opponent at the end of a fight, a special move which the makers of the game call a fatality. Here is Kano's fatality:
Kano Heart Rip
Now here's the scene in Terminator that that move is based on:
Terminator heart rip
That's right. Shao Kahn was the first Mortal Kombat character ever to suffer a fatality, and it happened 8 years before the first game even came out.

Boss Nass in Star Wars The Phantom Menace
was also Clayton in Disney's Tarzan
And one of the finest Actors on the planet!
The wonderful Brian Blessed pictured above with ex 007/Hot Fuzz/ Penny dreadful actor Timothy Dalton in the movie Flash Gordon. Blessed's Biography 'Absolute Pandemonium' is a brilliant read, he led a very interesting life.
