Was following some Doctor Who related wiki pages and found that the guy who played Mickey (Noel Clarke) has a part in the upcoming Star Trek film. I look forward to looking for him. ---

The band is also known for a loud and emphatic sound.

I just thought of another one… comedian Chris Elliot (“Late Night with David Letterman”, Get a Life", “Everybody Loves Raymond”) had a completely serious and uncomedic role in James Cameron’s “The Abyss”. If I remember correctly, he played a radio operator on one of the military battleships. It was a small role, but he did appear in several scenes, and spoke more than one line. As soon as I saw him appear I expected that he was cast for comic relief, but he had no funny lines whatsoever. He was already somewhat well-known as a comedian at this point, so it wasn’t a “before they were famous” type of appearance. A dead-serious Chris Elliot amazed me far more than any of the special effects in the film. ---

Cowboy Curtis from “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” was played by “Larry” Fishburne. Also, I’ve been watching “Frasier” on Neflix. Too many to name (especially if you include the callers.) ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I once won a five dollar bet with somebody who didn’t believe John Goodman was in _The Big Easy_. I offered to go double or nothing on him being in _Revenge of the Nerds_ but my friend wouldn’t take me up on it. Got a surprise some months back while watching the infamous joke of a movie, **C.H.U.D.** : in a quick throwaway scene, two cops walk into a diner, some C.H.U.D. action occurs, then they’re gone. The cops are played by John Goodman and Jay Thomas, who is probably most famous for playing Carla’s husband Eddie LeBec on **Cheers**. ---
