Unexpected IMDB Discoveries

Hell, Joe Pantoliano was also in The Goonies, The Matrix, The Fugitive, Memento, and over a hundred other things, even an episode of MAS*H, but it still takes a while before you realize it’s all the same guy.

Had you seen the Roseanne episode where he spoofs his classic scene from GREAT SANTINI?

He was also film editor on Citizen Kane and director of The Body Snatchers and The Sound of Music.

It wasn’t until I looked up something about the show on IMDB that I realized Anthony LaPaglia, who plays Jack Malone on “Without a Trace” also played Simon Moon, Daphne’s loutish brother on “Frasier.”

No, I hadn’t. Summary?

He does his none-of-us-have-ever-beaten-you patter right before scoring the winning basket against Dan – who replies by taunting him in best Robert Duvall fashion, punctuating his comments by repeatedly bouncing the ball off Fred’s head.

William Daniels played three different members of the Adams family, in a variety of places – he did John Adams (twice), Sam Adams, and John Quincy Adams (twice! A quarter of a century apart!)
I knew about John and Sam, but I didn’t know he’d played John Quincy until I looked him up on IMDb
