I keep waiting for the day that Stottlemeyer says “Hey Monk, lemme ask you something…would you fuck me? I’d fuck me. I’d fuck me hard.”
She was also the hot little waitress in Brokeback Mountain.
There has to be some way to get Captain Stottlemeyer to say “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” I want the best screenwriters in the business working on this.
The same actress who played Constanze in Amadeus also played the shy, mousy Officer Eve Eggers on The John Larroquette Show.
Speaking of “Real Genius”, I was surprised to find out that the guy who played Lazlo (the guy who lives in the closet) was the same guy who played Uncle Rico in “Napoleon Dynamite”.
And did you catch him channeling Orson Welles in Ed Wood? Fabulous acting job…
Catch Kathy Bates in My Best Friend Is a Vampire. She’s skinny enough so that you might not recognize her but for her voice. Hot, too.
And a scheming Chief of Staff on 24 (I assume we’re talking about Peter MacNicol?).
Levine was also in the made for TV From the Earth to the Moon. He played Alan Shepard.
And Berridge was in the much overlooked Five Corners. To see her transform from Composer’s wife into Bronx slut was something else. It was an interesting movie. Jodie Foster was the only big name in it. There was some unknown named Turturro and some guy named Robbins. I wonder whatever happened to them.
Oh yeah – the Robbins guy was in The Sure Thing.
And “from the upper vest side” Yanosh in Ghostbusters II.
Christine Baransky was also fantastic in The Ref with a wonderful Kevin Spacey.
Bob Balaban was the shy cartographer who translated for Francois Truffaut in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and was Phoebe’s dad on Friends and was in City Slickers II and Lady in the Water and Waiting for Guffman (along with the other mockumentaries by Christopher Guest). Also in dozens of other movies you’ve seen. He’s everywhere. He’s also kind of a staple in no-budget indie films.
James Caviezel was in The Rock. You only see his eyes, but he’s got a line. 
Siobhan J. Fallon played the school bus driver in Forrest Gump, and Mrs. Edgar in Men in Black.
[ashamed that I know this]
Not to mention the skating coach’s daughter in Ice Princess
[/ashamed that I know this]
And he was Chuck Barris in* Confessions of a Dangerous Mind*.
She also played Ally’s daughter in the last season of Ally McBeal.
THAT one really threw me for a loop when I puzzled it out. I was watching Dead Zone and had no clue who the lead was. He did or said something and I thought, “wait, that almost looked like… oh whoa, it is!” I’m a little embarrassed to say that when he was a teenager, I thought there was seriously something wrong with him physically, he was SO geeky, and I would never have imagined he’d look normal, let alone rather good-looking!
I think I’ve spotted a massive change in facial appearance.
In ‘Showgirls’, Elizabeth Berkley is the ‘lead’.
To me her face appears narrow and deep (and Gina Gershon blows her away for looks and acting 
).
But in ‘Any Given Sunday’, Berkley propositions Al Pacino and looks gorgeous. 
(Sadly I can’t find a picture - but if you’ve seen the film…)
The oddest change is when he played the jerkish, slightly abusive, tough-guy boyfriend of Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands.
I thought they had spliced in some actual Welles footage. Unbelievable.
I watched Gremlins 2 about a million times before I finally figured out why Marla the Chain-smoking Redhead looked so familiar. She was the blonde in Sixteen Candles, the one who ends up with Anthony Michael Hall.
Yeah, he had an uncomfortable span as a jock post-Hughes. Anyone remember Johnny Be Good? No, of course you don’t, because it sucked. I only remember it because it was where I saw my first bare boobies in a movie theater. What I’m amazed to see looking at his IMDB listing is that he never stopped working, really. I thought he was basically an old teen actor who lay fallow for years and then made a comeback with Dead Zone. Nope. He’s been working steadily on several projects a year all this time.
Including a throwback role as (who else?) Bill Gates.
Edie McLurg, best known as Mr. Rooney’s secretary in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was also one of the school girls who tormented Sissy Spacek in Carrie. She didn’t have that big of a part, but you’d think I would have realized it was her after having viewed the movie, oh, about two hundred times now.
