It is just weird seeing the actors from _Sesame Street_ play roles in other movies and shows. For me it was the time I saw Street Smart in the theatre (or maybe on VHS). “Hey! It’s Easy Reader!” And that’s not to mention A few years earlier seeing Superman in Deathtrap. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > I know that I hadn’t really noticed Liam Neeson before **Darkman** (I suspect more people first started to notice him a couple of years later when he played Oskar Schindler in **Schindler’s List** ). But then I started to notice him in other films I’d seen earlier – **The Mission** , **The Bounty** , **Krull**. He was also Sir Gawain in _Excalibur_–his first film role, I believe. Didn’t recognize him at the time, but if you see the film now, you’re all, “Hey, that’s Liam Neeson!” Gabriel Byrne is there, too, as Uther Pendragon.
