Eddie Izzard is correct. Jackson and Shaft are not. But you should be able to come up with another movie…

Ok guys, have to go pick up cat from the vet.  
Here’s a couple hints:

Jackie Brown - an former employee  
Blade Runner - male replicant  
Mousehunt - another comic  
Crimson Tide - I remeber this guy the most from “Malcom in the Middle”

I’ve never seen Malcolm in the Middle, but I’m going with Daniel von Bargen (who was also in _Shaft_, by the way, so he’s a baaaad mother…)
