In sword fish there is an acotor ( Don Cheadle ) playing the fbi detective after john travolta’s character. And in Oceans Eleven there is on of Daniel Ocean’s ( George Clooney) crew who bears an english acent but appears to be the same person as don cheadle… However don and his character appear unregistered in the credits, i would just like to know if these two characters are played by the same person in these two different movies?
Yes.
Sorry, I meant that to say: Yep.
Apparently, he was unhappy with his character’s treatment, ie his screen time was cut, and he asked that he not be credited as a form of protest.
Roger Ebert dealt with this question on his website a couple of weeks ago.
It’s the same guy. Check out Cheadle’s IMDB entry. It seemed to me his English accent in Ocean’s Eleven was pretty good. I wonder what actual English people thought about it (as well as Renee Zellweger’s in Bridge Jones’s Diary).
