He had an odd role in a movie called _The Score_

Dang, in the time it took me to put that together **Aesiron** ’s been at it again. I think that version might have starred David Thewlis. Have we used him yet?

I think that’s the wrong version, the one with Michael York and Lancaster predates the more recent version (with Brando seeming more like a crazy beekeeper to me) by many years.

Nope, in addition to not having seen _The Island of Dr. Moreau_, I have absolutely no freakin’ idea who David Thewlis is.

Sorry.

He did the voice of the Earthworm in **James and the Giant Peach** (we are allowing voice appearances, right?)

We almost died during his first scene in _Along Came Polly_ (which was otherwise fairly unremarkable).

I saw _If…_ (I forgot the dots before) when I was a boarder at a public school. It was shown on a Saturday night - more than once as I recall - along with _The Good, The Bad and The Ugly_. Not that they were a double-bill or anything, that’s the onl;y other film I can remember seeing.

It was about a rebellion at a public school, so it was pretty progressive of the school to show it. The main bit I remember (apart from the ending which is some kind of machine gun orgy) was when the McDowell character seduced the Headmaster’s wife. Quite a turn-on!

FWIW this one is still in play. It’s a fairly well known movie from early 1980s, although I’m not sure there’s anyone else “famous” in it. I’m sure you’ll all work something out.

Who apparently was in **The Assassination of Richard Nixon**.

Could we head back into the mainstream cinema, soon, pls.?

**Brad Henke** has been in a few flicks that I’d consider mainstream, including one which is rather the sewage-laden flow…

Okay – I searched for the spaceless version, but someone might have spelled it correctly (with space) – so I’ll go out on a limb and try

**Nightwatch** used him on Feb 16th, which is after this round started. The only other guy I know was in that film (Snipes) was already used as well. I’m sure there’s someone else in it. So we’re still on
