I’ve seen him in a lot of stuff and I would have certainly said something different given an extra second or two.

That goes for a lot of these, actually.

5. Gary Oldman – I know I’ve seen him, but have no idea in what.

I just wanted to jump in and say that this is why I love Gary Oldman. His movies include:
Harry Potter 3 & 4
Batman Begins
Hannibal
The Fifth Element
Lost in Space
Air Force One
The Scarlet Letter
Immortal Beloved
Leon
Romeo is Bleeding
Dracula

He keeps showing up in movies, and I don’t recognize him, because his characters are all completely different. I think “Whoa, this guy’s good; wonder what else he’s done?” then the final credits roll, and :smack:
