Thewlis also played Johnny, a rather intelligent and intriguing lowlife scumbag, in Naked. He wore lederhosen and got some bizarre short back and sides Mitteleuropäisches haircut for Seven Years in Tibet to go with the little 1930s mustache. But I thought he was fairly recognizable throughout.
He also played one the ‘good’ knights in Kingdom of Heaven. I think the only reason I recognized him is because I rented both of them in the same weekend.
Didn’t he also play the bad prince in Dragonheart?
She also starred with Aliens buddies Paxton and Henricksen in Near Dark.
Yes and yes, IIRC.
And he was in the terrible remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau with Brando and Val Kilmer.
(bolding mine).
That is one ethnically adaptable actress.
All-purpose ethnic, like Anthony Quinn, Yul Brynner, and Michael Ansara (TV’s version)
David Settle, who played the young writer who crashes the wedding at the end of Under the Tuscan Sun, also plays the young lovesick executive in the B-level chick flick Cake. He’d lost a bit of weight and the facial hair, but it’s him.
I’d been watching Farscape for an embarrassing long time before I realized that Crais and the voice of Pilot were the same guy (Lani Tupu).
Also from To Be or Not To Be, “So, they call me concentration-camp Ehrhardt, do they?”
I’m hoping that you’re joking, and not really confusing the blonde and much younger Charles During (from a great many films, including playing the Governor in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, where he sings and dances up a storm) with Sig Ruman.
From the original To Be or Not to Be (Lubitsch, Benny, 1942), not the remake (Johnson, Brooks, 1983).
Robot Arm, caught it but i’d just like to say that I love the Benny film so much I’ve never bothered to see the Brooks one.
Ah, sorry – my mistake.
Sacrilege, I know, but I prefer the Brooks version, so it’s what I thought of.
I was watching the movie Manhunter with my wife. I’d seen it a hundred times, but she’d never seen it, although she loved Red Dragon. I’m trying to explain that this was the original pre-Silence of the Lambs version, when she asks “Is that Grissom?”
“Well, he’s kind of like Grissom. See, Will Graham -”
“No, I mean the actor. Isn’t that the guy who plays Grissom from CSI?”
“Um…wait. Is it?”
Checked the guide listing: William Petersen. :smack: :eek:
The one that floored me was the day I realized that Jack Malone on Without a Trace is played by the same guy who was Daphne’s boorish brother on Frasier: Anthony La Paglia.
Wait, Ganalf is Magneto?? I mean, of course he is now that you point it out but I never put that together.
And add me to the “holy shit!” chorus of Vincent D’Onfrio = Thor.
Who was also in “Empire Records” as a slimmer hotter guy.
Really?
I went “Mister Frodo…”
Then wondered when he was going to pull out the sunglasses.
I have to admit that I was rather surprised to learn that the East German dodgeball player in “Dodgeball” was none other than the awfully good looking Missi Pyle, from the new “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, that show “Wedding Belles”, and “Soul Plane”.
It took me quite a while to realize Seth Gilliam played:
-
Aaron Dexter, Pam’s (Cosby’s cousin) love interest in The Cosby Show;
-
African Babatunde Amoda in Law & Order;
-
C.O. Clayton Hughes, in Oz; and
-
Det. Sgt. Ellis Carver, in The Wire.
I made the connection between 3) and 4) rather soon after seeing him in The Wire, but it wasn’t until after that realization that it dawned on me that he had played in 1) and 2).
It also could not have helped that I thought he was gay on The Cosby Show but definitely so in the other roles.
