According to a book about Around the World in 80 Days, Austrian-born actor Mike Mazurki appeared in the scene in a waterfront bar in Hong Koing, where inspector Fix slips Passepartout a Mickey Finn.
I didn’t see Mazurki in this scene, though I understand he was a big man.
Any other Dopers see him there??
I never saw Wilfrid Hyde-White’s son (Alex Hyde-White?) playing the “young” Indy Sr. (Sean Connery’s character in flashbacks) either, though he was credited in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. Has anyone spotted him in the film?
I don’t know much about Mike Mazurki either. Sorry.
Apparently this is not a new phenomenon.
He is listed on IMDB as (uncredited) … Cameo appearance for that movie.

yosemitebabe, I haven’t seen it in quite a while but Indy’s father was in the opening sequence. I can’t remember if you actually see him but you do here him and AFAIK it was SC’s voice. Maybe he was cut out.
Yeah, you do see Hyde-White playing the young Indy Sr., you just don’t see his face. It shows his hand raising a finger telling Indy to wait (and Connery’s voice tells him to count in Greek). You also see his side when Indy comes in and I believe you also see his hands and shoulder when the camera shows the book he’s reading (the diary).
I’ve experienced a similar occurence with the movie Sea of Love. All the profs in the theater department at my university are in the program for any theater production. One prof has all of his acting credits including Sea of Love. Well, it was playing on TV and my friend and I watched. We couldn’t see him anywhere in it, so we checked the credits. Sure enough, he’s credited as playing “Body”. Now, I can’t remember a body that was shown clearly, so either I missed something or he ended up on the cutting room floor. If it’s the latter, then they probably had already made up the credits before.
Oh, BTW, he’s not on the IMBD but I don’t think their credits include the minor parts. He is on the IMBD for acting in other movies.
This isn’t quite the same, but I went to my frist year of college with this quasi-actor who was always bragging about how he was in an episode of Law and Order or NYPD Blue or some crime drama. Turned out he just played a murderer’s previous victim, and his photograph was in the episode, but not actually him.
I never saw Christina Applegate in Mars Attacks, and she was billed before half the people that actually had a role in the movie. From what I’ve gathered, she had a minor scene in a trailer. Woo.
Matthew Perry appeared in The Kid as a barely-recognisable bearded computer genius and was uncredited too.
Just in case anyone was interested…
1933: First singing telegram, German President Paul von Hindenburg made Adolf Hitler chancellor, Monopoly (theboardgame) invented, The first All-star baseball game occurred, Alcatraz Island was made a federal maximum security prison, The soft drink Lithiated Lemon was renamed 7-Up, Einstein renounced his German citizenship and fled to the USNo mention of Bela Lugsi in Plan Nine from Outer Space yet?
She was in several scenes, she was the girlfriend of the teenager who goes off to join the army.
I hear (no, haven’t verified) that Nicholas Coppola, the fella who now goes by “Nicholas Cage”, was billed in Fast Times at Ridgemont High as “Brad’s Bud” even though most of his part ended up on the cutting room floor. They say he’s still visible behind the counter in at least one scene, though.
Didn’t Kevin Costner play the corpse in The Big Chill? I believe he was in it in flashbacks but all his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.
Tom Hanks was credited in Toy Story, but I didn’t see him even once.
Probably the “body” was one of the scenes ‘cut’ for TV, either for time or content. They wouldn’t revise the credits afterward.
It usually happens when the part is cut out. Either the actor’s contract called for a credit, or they made the credit list before the final cut.
Two examples come to mind:
Philip Bruns is credited in My Favorite Year. You can spot him in a crowd scene, but any dialog had had is gone.
Wil Wheaton is credited in The Last Starfighter, but I haven’t been able to find him (he may be in the crowd scene at the end). The IMDB says that his scenes were deleted.
This is different from when an actor does appear, but is uncredited, a much more common occurance (Robin Williams does it a lot).
In Empire Records (the best movie, ever) there were several actors/characters listed in the credits that were never seen or mentioned in the movie. Weird.
Was Frank Darabont (?) listed in the acting credits for The Shawshank Redemption? I understand that at the beginning of the movie, when you see Andy DuFresne’s hands loading the gun, those are actually Frank’s hands, in a last-minute edit-in.
They didn’t credit the dead kid looking in the window in 3 Men and a Baby… :rolleyes:
Dammit, why is it every time I think of a good joke when I see a subject line, someone beats me to it?
Thanks, wring, I hadn’t thought of that. It was on Showcase, so I don’t think they edited for content, but I’m pretty sure they edited for time.
The Tom Hanks joke (:)) reminded me of something I heard about credits in cartoons. I’m not sure if it applies to real-life shows, but I’ve heard of people voice-acting in cartoons and requiring in their contract that they not be included in the credits. I haven’t heard to many reasons, but one could assume that they’re helping out a friend or just doing for fun. Slumming it, as it were.
Anyway, the one example that comes to mind is one actor (sorry, forget the name) suing the makers of Duckman. He did some voicework for an episode, but had in his contract that he was not to be credited (maybe for one of the above reasons?). He watched the show and claimed that his name was in the credits, so he sued. I don’t know how it came out, though.
And my first-post-first-impression threatens to brand me as a Star Trek guy. I believe that Colm Meany is credited in “Last of the Mohicans” (to be watched if only for the final fifteen minutes), but I have never found him. There is one scene with multiple British officers from whence I suspect he was cut, but I do not know. I enjoy him immensly as the patriarch in the Barrytown trilogy, and he’s who I see when I read the books.
