Paul Benedict, who wasn’t Guffman. (“Hmmm, Eight”. Paints on the bald man’s head.) ---

Wesley Snipes BTW, I misspelled Carrere in my original post. Anyway, it’s maybe not trivia but she voiced Nani, Lilo’s older sister in _Lilo & Stitch_. She’s a native Hawaiian and helped with the dialogue. But I could have sworn when I first saw that film (I have kids, I’ve seen it many times and _love_ the music) that Nani was voiced by Rosie Perez. ---

_Blade_. You know, I was trying to think of a less obvious Wesley Snipes film to use, but _Blade_ and its sequel were the only movies I could think of. So I went to IMDb to check on his filmography (not to cheat, ;), just out of curiousity), and I found that I haven’t seen a single Snipes film. Ever. _Lilo & Stitch_ is great. Nani’s kind of a hottie, too… ---

Nani’s kind of a hottie, too… Kris Kristofferson is the only one I know for sure that is in _Blade_ besides Snipes. I think Snipes was also in _New Jack City_, _Jungle Fever_ (which could have lead to the scrumptious Ming-Na Wen, and hence _Mulan_, and any number of really badly acted action flicks. ---

Kris Kristofferson was in _Lone Star_. I hope we haven’t used that one yet. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Elizabeth Peña? I assume the question mark is because you’re not sure that’s correct. I’ll confirm that it is. Funny thing. I never saw Lone Star, but your mention of her name sparked a memory of a different role she played. I made a quick search to confirm my memory. I won’t put the answer here because my search would be cheating and I wouldn’t want to spoil anyone else’s answer. But I found it interesting since I would have sworn I didn’t know that actress’ name… at all… no idea. But apparently, somehow, I did know it. ---

For some reason my wife _loves_ that movie. I’ve never seen it, although it is IIRC, a Steven Spielberg thing, so I assume everyone ends up happy in the end after shedding a few tears. Actually, I have seen a few minutes here and there and I can just picture one of the main characters but not draw up his name. ---
