I realize that this is tangential to the OP, but I thought that I should mention that after watching “Alexander” and seeing Val Kilmer listed in the credits, I had to go back and watch the scenes that he was in. If you haven’t watched “Tombstone”, then you should. Not just because it’s the greatest movie ever made, but so that you can try to spot the following actors: 1.) Billy Zane – This one isn’t too hard to spot. 2.) The good guy (and biological father of John Conner) from Terminator – Not too hard to spot either. 3.) Billy Bob Thornton 4.) Dylan from 90210 Good luck finding the last 2. ---

And another one: Jonathan Pryce. Hard to believe the same guy plays Gov. Swann in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Seamus in “Ronin,” Juan Peron in “Evita,” Sam Lowry in “Brazil,” the evil Mr. Dark in “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” and the nebbishy guy beguiled by Al Pacino in “Glengarry Glen Ross.” And a million other roles, it seems. He can do _anything!_ ---
