Just continuing the trend...
Didn't know he was in Star Trek as well. Which of them BTW?
I still love his performance in The Stepfather the most.

It's from a final season Next Generation episode called "The Pegasus"
I'm not sure it's been posted already but Goldeneye was playing on TV recently, I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and my mind was blown at these (the first 2 went on to star in the same movie again with X-Men 2):
Mind Blown - Successful
I just don't believe it, I even checked IMDB so I know it's true. I just expected the goldeneye women to be horribly aged by now, but shes stayed beautiful, and they are such different characters.
To Famke Janssen *tips hat*
X-men was 12 years ago... mind blown for a second time, but this one makes me feel old =/
Guess I spoke too soon/late about aged bit. Thank you.

Having watched every star trek episode on Netflix this year I was amazed how many well known actors were in the different iterations of the series.
This one got me today. Holy shit!
Shlubb from Sin City...
......is Ron Swanson
This kills me. I am now dead.

Yeah there's a ton of them. Pretty much everyone has been on Star Trek at one point or another.

Star Trek is a nigh-endless supply of these, most fun to spot are the ones with heavy facial prosthetics/make-up so it's not instantly obvious.
Or just the ones who look like dorks, like Jason Alexander:
Let me give you all the bacon and eggs I have.
Bro fist.
Blink is an amazing episode.

I hate this thread because so many of these are just "this actor was in these two movies".
I know, I know, some of these might be mindblowing to someone out there, but whatever.
On to honour some of the actually good ones!
Great stuff.

It's nice to know that after two and a half years I've only posted in this thread twice.
So this is what I like to call the "shotgun approach":
In catdog, he's cat.
In adam's family, he's lurch.
In the ME2 screenshot, he's a Krogan found on the night club planet. He also plays Urdnot Wreav, although one Krogan looks like any other so I probably don't need to find him.
OH, And of course, the thing that made me go down this terrible IMDB spiral,
This asshole in Whiterun. Olfrid Battle-Born. Or one of the Battle-borns in that fucking town.
I feel like I've had this guy's voice stuck in my head since my childhood and have only just realised that he was chasing me everywhere I go.
Cartoon voice actors, man. Cartoon voice actors...
EDIT: Sorry about the HOTLINK image expirations. Imgur wasn't working for me when I tried to mirror all of the images I linked. The two that died were Doyle from The Mask cartoon and Some Fucking Krogans from Mass Effect 2

Yeah no shit. You should see her in 'Hot Spot'. Quite amazing.
As for Famke Janssen, still wouldn't mind spending a few quiet moments with her.

I wouldn't call it mindblowing acting. Personally he's horrible.

Yep, it's why I'm waiting another couple years. I figure by 2015 we'll recognize every two bit actor and extra.
I remember running into him the first time and going "oh god, they got Pete from Mickey Mouse in this game..."

Yeah, I knew that and I don't know why I didn't post her; then again I posted that months ago. She was so damn hot back in the day. Much hotter than Sean Young, though her character is a cunt in the Dune books.

When the Ghostbusters have to do sidejobs in Ghostbusters 2, Dr. Raymond Stantz and Winston Zeddemore are getting told by a kid on a birthday party that his father thinks that "they are full of crap".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv_-KOdM6Wk
This kid is the son of the director of both Ghostbusters-movies Ivan Reitman, Jason Reitman.
Jason Reitman directed "Up in the Air" and "Juno".

I watched Band of Brothers recently so when I saw Fallon I was just waiting for the punch line...
As a huge Cree Summer fan, I feel obligated to let others know that Cree has done far more than just 3 characters in her career. Her IMDB filmography contains roughly 200 credits, including live-action, animation, video games, and anime.
Her most prominent live-action role was on the sitcom "A Different World" from 1988 to 1993. This is what she looked like at the time.
As far as video games go, she's done work in Final Fantasy X, Crackdown 2, and Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits.
But her bread and butter is bringing to life cartoon characters, which she has been doing since she was 14. Some of her other more famous characters include: Susie Carmichael (Rugrats), Hyena (Gargoyles) Princess Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire), Numbuh 5 (Codename: Kids Next Door), and Miranda (As Told By Ginger).
As I mentioned, she's done work on over 200 different shows, so my list is far from complete as well.
Here's an interview which shows what Cree looks like as of 2008 as well as her normal speaking voice. You also get a sense of her sense of humor, makes her seem totally awesome.
Two fun facts: She and Tara Strong have been lifelong friends and frequent co-stars, having grown up in Toronto together.
In 1999, her solo album was released by a sub-label of Sony Music. Lenny Kravitz helped out with a couple of the tracks on the album.

So I'm familiar with actor James Cosmo. I always thought he looked like a Scottish twin of Robert Duvall and for a while was confused by the two.
I loved him as
the father of Wallace's best friend in Braveheart who takes an arrow to his chest but stays feisty
Mormont
and Glaucus from Troy
But I had no fucking clue he was also
Father Christmas from the Chronicles of Narnia
and despite me watching the film at least three dozen times, Renton's father
The last one makes sense: the voice should have given it away. Maybe I'm just used to him in full beard.

Dunno whether this has already been posted. I just realized, when I was reading The Evil Dead Companion, that Embeth Davidtz in Army of Darkness...
...is also Amon Goeth's maid in Schindler's List.
Perhaps that has escaped me before, because I've watched Army of Darkness only once, as I've always hated how it stripped all horror away from Evil Dead.

After seeing him in some pictures with Michelle Forbes:
Jude Ciccolella
Most known as Mike Novick from 24. <3 Mike in Season 5
But was also was
Romulan Guy with Tom Hardy in Star Trek Nemesis
Was also the Cop that beat up Bruce Willis early on, in Sin City.

Man you guys got it all wrong, he's Wesley from Princess Bride
Actually, you're wrong. He's Robin Hood
And that's not Buttercup, it's Forrest Gump's lady friend
Romulan Guy with Tom Hardy in Star Trek Nemesis
...WHAT ?
I need to see this movie again
Heh, speaking of Band of Brothers, the guy on the left played George Luz.
He also voiced Gippal in Final Fantasy X-2.
And Zack in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Crisis Core, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

I had one of these revelations except that I noticed her in Californication:
This one freaked me out a bit when I watched Spider-man recently on Foxtel
Didn't realise Joe Manganiello from True Blood 'Alcide'
Was in Spider-man as Flash
That picture of him in Spider-man...hahaha!

Watched Kingdom of Heaven The Director's Cut yesterday during a non-SOPA internet outage and a couple of guys early on caught my attention.
Liam Neeson's nephew, who comes to take back Balian for the murder of his brother the priest and leads the attack on the group in the woods:
also, Balian's apprentice who gets a few close ups of those beautiful yellow teeth:
And then there's the King of England:
There's probably more, considering I am only 45 minutes into my re-watch. I wonder how much of the GoT cast is in the film.

Mormont
He was also Father what's-his-name in Sons of Anarchy.
this one was pretty crazy to me:
Jex from Sons of Anarchy
Here's a crazier thing: He was the blond English guy in Judd Apatow's sitcom Undeclared.
nvm. misread.
