> [@LindyHopper](#): > > **Gedde Watanabe** His character (caricature?) was the best part of that film, although I don’t know if that would play today. But I can’t for the life of me come up with what else he’s been in… I can just picture him, older, in a white shirt and tie, but… drat! ---

That’s got to be _Alfie_. I almost watched the original recently, but it got deleted from my DVR before I could bring myself to watch it. Saw the opening scenes and it seemed a bit dated. Anyone see the remake? ---

What, we’re not supposed to be using IMDb? I’ll have to drop out. Even when I come up with something (as I did with the following), I check it there before I play. Marisa Tomei ---
