_Blow_. Okay, I’m looking for someone to name a specific actor for this movie - someone who’s been in a surprising number of films but as far as I know has never had a lead role. Another clue? “Frankie.” ---

Okay, I’m looking for someone to name a specific actor for this movie - someone who’s been in a surprising number of films but as far as I know has never had a lead role. Another clue? “Frankie.” Well, I assume “Frankie” doesn’t refer to Franka Potente, does it? And I really want to use Franka Potente. (There are a lot of actors in this movie) ---

Nope, not Franka, but go ahead and use her. I was referring to Ethan Suplee, the big guy made famous for his role as Frankie on the show _Boy Meets World_ back in the day. ---

No way, dude. Ethan Suplee was made famous for his role as the Magic Eye painting-obsessed Willam in _Mallrats_. “When, Lord? When to I get to see the goddamn sailboat?!!!” Anyway, he was also in _American History X_, which I don’t think we used yet in this round. ---

Trying real hard not to go with an Edward here. How about Stacey Keach? (I have a film in mind with him, bonus points if that’s the one you pick. Hint: lizard) ---

Hm. Stacy Keach is one of those guys I only really remember from television. Lizard, lizard…drawing a blank. Sorry. But he was in **Brewster McCloud**. ---

Well, if anyone else can come up with it throw it out here. It’s worth ten bonus points. 😉 This movie has one of my all time favorite lines: “Future of rock and roll: New Wave… then Bruce Springsteen came along and fucked it all up!” ---

I think Shelley Duvall was in Brewster McCloud. Now since we’re wishing for specific films, how about a little indie movie she did just a few years ago? ---

Bud Cort played “John Doe Jersey” in Dogma. ---

\*Dogma \* has its share of flaws, but it’s still one of my favorite movies. Salma Hayek was in _Spy Kids 3D_. ---

God, what a disappointment that movie was. That and the other one Antonio Banderas (gratuitous drooling) was in caused me to rethink my opinion of Roberto Rodriguez as a director. Both of the endings were just too cheesy for words. ---

I think Denzel Washington is still good this time around. ---

> [@vd](#): > > …had quite a different character in **Philadelphia** I don’t believe that we’ve done Denzel Washington this time around. Which was what I was going to post, but the thing didn’t go through, and now that I’m back in the office (I had to pop out), I see that **Zeke** has beaten me to it. So let’s honor Mr. Washington’s break out performance, no, not _Training Day_… _A Soldier’s Story_ ---

A Soldier’s Story Is this the same movie with _Howard Tollins Jr_ ? ---
