Thanks Jim. John Gavin - not too bad; I remember him, mostly from “Imitation of Life” with Lana Turner. I’ll have to read his bio and check out the 1910 movie.
I match up with the great Lasse Aagaard, whose one acting role was in the classic Danish comedy Bananen - Skræl den før din nabo (aka Banana Busters).
I’m Alice Allen, 1920s actress who starred in exactly one movie. My movie is unrelated but came out around the same time: The Pagan. Stuck in the 20s, it seems.
I’ve got Rikke Arnesen who made one film.
Northern Pursuit which is only slightly better.
Yikes! Adult Film Actress! Beth Anna - IMDb
I matched up with Ennio Morricone, a music composer for movies. Well over 500 movies! I may have paired up with someone I’ve never heard of, but at least he a successful one! :D:D
P.S. - He did compose the original music for the movie “The Untouchables” (Kevin Costner, Sean Connery).
My name was an assistant editor on one film.
But my film, Trouble at Midnight? I have the best plot synopsis ever:
Oh, you all are writhing in envy. Admit it!
I also get a one-flick wonder – Felix Amsler of Kinder der Landstraße fame (and I use the word “fame” very loosely).
Oh, and my film is a 1934 short called Love Detectives, which features at least one name (Betty Grable) most Dopers should know.
Yeah, but was there a dairy cow mystery? HUH?
Bah, mine are both boring.
But it’s interesting to see that the IMDb started off with a listing of 82 movie folk which they entered alphabetically then they added some guy named Alan Miller. Why him? What does it mean? What was so special about an editor on Serengeti Symphony that meant that this guy get to be # 83.
Actually, not James Alexander III (the third in a familial line of James Alexanders) but James Alexander (III) – the third man named James Alexander to garner an IMDb listing. Here’s the full baker’s dozen, which even includes one actress!
Cool, I’m Ray Romano, someone I’ve actually heard of. However my movie is the obscure 1915 silent film Getting a Start in Life.
My “actor” is James Andriani, who has been in all of two films so far: Kiss of Medusa (1982), in which he was apparently the only cast member (??), and **Invasion for Flesh and Blood **(1994), a Troma “film.” That sound you hear is the bottom of the barrel being scraped. Although, somehow, I’m now perversely interested in finding out more about this guy. What does he look like? Why the twelve-year hiatus between acting jobs? Is his hair as poofy and '80s-like as I imagine it to be? What is his enigmatic relationship with Warren F. Disbrow? Not that I’m likely to exert any energy in finding out this stuff. But if there were a link that would give me all that info, I would definitely click on it, probably.
My movie is a bit better: The Gold Racket (1937), starring the immortal Conrad Nagel; a film which I might actually go out of my way to watch one day, assuming any prints still exist.
Here’s obscurity for you. I’m Jaume Agulló, whose only film credit is for cinematography on the 1938 Catalan documentary Cataluña mártir. Wonder what the box office take on that was? Probably not as good as that for my movie, With Stanley in Africa, if only because that was a Hollywood production …
Bethany Babyak is my name, Снегурочка is my movie. A production assistant and a cartoon adaptation of a Russian opera that’s better as a vinyl record than a celluloid movie. At least it’s only 67 minutes. I don’t believe in that numerology stuff anyways…
And jsgoddess, I am so green with envy I’m photsynthesizing as we speak. Not just a cow mystery, but dairy cow mystery! I’m waiting by the postbox until the Netflix envelope arrives.
My number doesn’t seem to exist - it automatically switches back a digit to 11732 - Giuseppe Addobbati (aka John Mac Douglas / John Douglas / Jhon Mac.Douglas / John MacDouglas / John McDouglas).
My movie is The Steel King (1919)
