Were you also blown away when you found out Harrison Ford played Han Solo and that Richard Dreyfuss was in Jaws?

Didn't you read his preamble?

Just saw true lies. Arnold's daughter, is that chick from dollhouse.

[bengraven]

Was watching the Talking Dead post show on the web.

Robert Blake's partner in murder from In Cold Blood:

also in the classic In The Heat of the Night;

I've been sitting here going "why is this fantastic actor off my radar? Why have I never seen him before?" and I actually have.

well known fact or mentioned already, maybe ?

Fuuuuuuck.

 

[Sanjuro]

He was in Judge Dredd as the father of a bunch of inbreds in a cave.

He was in Judge Dredd as the father of a bunch of inbreds in a cave.

Never saw that, but he has been in several big budget movies, two of which I can remember:

The Last Samurai

and though I can't find a pic of it, he was one of the Americans from the Korean sci-fi/horror film The Host. He's the first voice and face you see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHEvaD9Xk4A

Also in Pearl Harbor, Young Guns 2, Junebug, Dead Man Walking, The Animal, (most of these I have never seen, exception being YG2). So basically he was in all the movies I skipped those years.

Throw a dart at the cast list of Blackhawk Down or Band of Brothers and you're gonna get a good hit.

I don't know if this was posted already, but I was watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and...

Twin Peaks is a lot like that.

 

[bengraven]

Pretty much. I wonder if casting directors are just watching both of those and hiring all the extras.

Guy Eating Sandwich #3 in Black Hawk Down might end up being the next Tom Cruise.

Breaker High

 

[Alx]

I just noticed Benedict Cumberbatch (made famous by the Sherlock show on BBC) playing a negotiator in the end of "Four Lions"... not really mind-blowing, but I did say "Hey it's that guy !" out loud (though I had to check Imdb to be sure).

I can't watch modern family without thinking of the "I'll make you some margaritas" line

Also watching the new Star Trek movie and scoping out the trivia on IMDB


The Vulcan Council Member that's critical of Spock:

is the Klingon Warden of Rura Penthe in Star Trek VI

This is old, and probably posted already but Jean Claude Van Damme was the original Predator. Check out this video.

The way to remember this one is that she starred in Beetlejuice (Tim Burton). And Burton is physically incapable of not having a cast member from a previous work appearing in a newer one.

Uh oh, be careful. You don't want to incur anyone's wrath by calling that a Burton movie.

 

[PantherLotus]

This is probably an inside joke I don't get or something, but Burton is clearly the director of both.

 

[Volimar]

No, he produced and co-wrote it. Henry Selick directed Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

[BaronLundi]

Surest way to win a bet ? This. 99% people will give the wrong answer if you ask who directed Nightmare Before Christmas. Of course they won't believe you so you have to have the imdb page handy. But indeed, one of the best Tim Burton movie was totally not directed by Tim Burton. Won myself many beers this way.

To make matters worse Sellick's Coraline is absolute genius and trumps Burton gobeshite's Corpse Bride.

 

[PantherLotus]

Well hell, I learned something.

thought it was corpse bride

I know it's way late for this thread, but I still to this day find it crazy that Glenn Close was the "boo box" guy from Hook.

Stephen Stucker who plays Johnny in Airplane! and Airplane II also plays the stationmaster in Trading Places who asks the two moronic baggage handlers if they have been drinking.

Has this been posted already? While reading this Galaxy Quest thread, I had a sudden realization.

Elias, the mob boss on the TV series Person of Interest is played by Enrico Colantoni.

Who also played head alien Mathesar in Galaxy Quest.

 

[Dr.Horrible]

Just re-watched Can't Hardly Wait for the first time in ages and realized that one of the girlfriends from the movie is now Lanie on Castle. Also, had absolutely no recollection of Jason Segel being in that movie.

 

[The Outsider]

For all eight of us who saw John Carter:

Edgar Rice Burroughs:

is portrayed by none other than Spy Kid Daryl Sabara:

I found out recently that Craig Parker is all three of these characters.

Haldir (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

Darken Rahl (Legend of the Seeker)

Gaius Claudius Glaber (Spartacus: Blood and Sand; Spartucus: Vengeance)

I'm especially surprised I didn't notice Glaber and Haldir were played by the same actor.

 

[Discotheque]

Yeah it took me a whole season to realize Haldir and Darken Rahl were the same dude. After that Glaber was obvious.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Craig Parker doesn't age worth a fuck either.

Also, had a minor mind blown rewatching Hurt Locker and noticing today's Holltywood favorite action hero Jeremy Renner as the main char

Saw this on Joe Hill's twitter. Is this true?

(Harry Potter film series spoilers)



Also, was watching Babe for the first time in years. The last time I watched it, there were no Matrix films, LOTR was in pre-pre-production and the only Australian actor I knew was Mel.

So color me shocked when I realized the voice of Rex, the father dog that initially hates Babe, but later helps him win the tournament is:
