Jack Nance appeared in about half a dozen of Lynch’s films.
When I heard that Aaron Sorkin had a new TV show in development (which turned out to be Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), I thought “do you have a part picked out for Joshua Malina, yet?” Malina was in A Few Good Men, Malice, The American President, Sports Night, and The West Wing.
However, Sorkin was not the director of any of those movies/series (writer and writer/producer), and Malina never appeared on Studio 60.
I came in to say what drm said, but without the video. Herzog ROCKS!!!
