Patrick Troughton, better known to most dopers as the 2nd incarnation of the Doctor, was also the repentant Satanist priest who lets Ambassador Thorne in on the big secret of his adopted son Damian (“His mother was a Ja…”) and then gets impaled by a cross. ---

The complete opposite from another of his roles that year… **Full Metal Jacket**. Good one Faithfool. I came in here to add it, but you beat me to the punch. Every time I see him I tell my wife he was Thor in adventures in Babysitting (Dawson). She never believes me. ---

How about Steve McQueen starring in “The Blob?” On the other end, Bobby Troup, husband of Julie London and composer of “Route 66” a big hit for Nat King Cole and the Rolling Stones played an army sergeant in M_A_S\*H at the age of 52. “God damn army jeep.” ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > Was the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker, mentioned yet? He played the evil wizard in _The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad_. I wanted to mention (but forgot) that William Hartnell a.k.a. the original 1st incarnation of the Doctor played a bartender in the terrific 30s thriller **Odd Man Out**. And just to make a clean-sweep of all the classic era Doctors: Also remembered that Doctor #3 - Jon Pertwee - had a bit part in **A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum** , but that movie sucks so don’t bother checking it out. Tom Baker is of course the narrator for “Little Britain.” Doctor #5 - Peter Davison - portrays the living “dish of the day” being served at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe" in the mini-series version of **the Hitch-hikers’ Guide to the Galaxy** (trivia note - his wife played Trillian). Doctor #7 - Sylvester McCoy - played an orderly at the insane asylum who watches over Lucy’s room in the 1979 Frank Langella **Dracula**. Doctor #6 - Coin Baker - I have never seen him in any other role, other from playing a part on a DW serial about a year before taking over as the Doctor. ---

> [@Don\_Draper](#): > > Doctor #6 - Coin Baker - I have never seen him in any other role, other from playing a part on a DW serial about a year before taking over as the Doctor. If you look back into the 1970s, you can find him playing the sculptor Wenceslas Steinbock in a BBC adaptation of Balzac’s _Cousin Bette_. Also in this same version of _Cousin Bette_, the minxish coquette Valerie who assists Bette in her revenge against her family is played by a buxom blonde young actress; at first glance, you might take her to be Felicity Kendall. Uh-uh. It’s Helen Mirren. ---

> [@Poysyn](#): > > Jim Carrey was in The Dead Pool. I’ll pile on this zombie, too. In that movie (a Dirty Harry movie with Clint Eastwood), Jim Carrey played a drugged out lead singer of a band that apparently recorded “Welcome to the Jungle.” He was filming a music video for the song. The director of the video was Liam Neeson. Watching Eastwood, Carrey, and Neeson on the screen at the same time with Guns N’ Roses as background music was a bit weird. ---

Just watched “13 Rue Madeleine” a 1947 production on TCM which had Karl Malden and E.G. Marshall in one of their first roles ever. According to IMDB Red Buttons was also making one of his first appearances but I failed to recognize him. All were uncredited. ---

Ben Jones, John Schneider, and Sonny Shroyer who played Cooter, Bo, and Enos from _Dukes of Hazzard_, were in _Smokey and the Bandit_. Ben and John were in the fairgrounds scene at the beginning or end (forget which), and Sonny played a motorcycle cop. And of course Burt Reynolds played Boss Hogg in the mostly terrible Dukes movie. ---
