sorry  
I misread the “oh dear lord no” as meaning both 4th folk  
and i was still typing when you posted about “Tommy boy” (who I happen to like very much so lay off 😃 )

Bonfire - Saul Rubinek

Which, if **anyrose** is right, means Rubinek, Cheadle and Chan in Rush Hour 2.

No, if I had a thing for a redhead from _Spy Kids_ it would have been Carla Gugina. I have a thing for her since seeing her nekkid in _Sin City_. Ok, prior to that, too, but _oh my_.

😉  
Actually, I’d forgotten that Mrs. Johnson-Bauer-Johnson-Banderas-Griffith was in that.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me of one of my favourite scenes of this year. If I don’t post for a while it’s because I’m off in my happy place… 🙂

Before I go, some random guesses:  
Bonfire - John Hancock  
Harry Potter - Emma Thompson  
Dogtown - Alexis Arquette  
Mars Attacks - Glen Close  
Spy Kids - Danny Trejo  
Cuckoo’s Nest - Danny DeVito.

I believe that those are all completely incorrect.

Sorry. And someone had asked about Nicholson before, IIRC.
