I’m housesitting at a place with Disney+ so I’m bingeing it while i can. I did Mandalorian, and WandaVision, and am working on Loki. I’ve checked all the cast lists i can find online, but none of them say who’s playing Owen Wilson’s nose. I mean it’s a major character, because while it’s onscreen you can’t look at anything else–talk about screen presence! Based on that quality alone I’ve narrowed it down to Sean Penn or Cher. I think Cher would require more hours in the makeup chair than Penn–his head is just to big for him to be an easy fit for the part. But beyond that i have no clue. It’s clearly a big name; a working actor wouldn’t make sense as a cameo. In any case, their performance is riveting but subtle. Are cameos eligible for Emmys?

Naah, it’s clearly a prize fighter from the 80s…

A prize fighter with no insurance, so no visit to a doctor after he was knocked out in the big fight.

Owen Wilson’s nose was replaced with Folger’s Crystals in an attempt to see if he’d notice.
