actors that were in other films.

[Vocal Minority]

A few people have mentioned band of brothers earlier (apologies if any pea-roast haven't read it all) and it is a gold mine for this stuff.

Marc Warren - Mad Dogs and Huslte (1 episode)

David Schwimmer - Friends...obviously (3 episodes)

Dexter Fletcher - Several things, The Virgin Queen and Stardust being the most high profile - a TV movie about Donald Campbell called Across the Lake being a suprising one.

Fassbender and MacAvoy already mentioned

Frank John Hughes - has been in Catch me if You Can, Sopranos, 24, Righteous Kill

Plenty of British actors in that series.

Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan.

Watched it yesterday and noticed at least three more interesting casts
1. Brian Cranston as the one-armed colonel
2. Paul Giamatti as US seargeant
3. Nathan Fillion of Firefly fame as the 'wrong' Ryan
There's possibly more, this film is a jem for such things.

John Wayne throws Tony Robinson into the Thames in 'Brannigan'! And beats up Brian Glover.

I don't think it's tony Robinson it just looks like him. I might be wrong but watched it recently.

Edit was wrong it is him well spotted.

Noticed billy bob Thornton getting slapped around at the beginning of tombstone the other day.

Just remembered another

Virginia madsen was very briefly in dune.

[K12beano]

Last night noticed that both Mads Mikkelson and Hugh Dancy, who are currently two of the main characters in "Hannibal", were both in King Arthur together.


(Mind you, I can't look at MM - great actor though he is - without wondering how that eye of his is getting on.....)

[popegregory]

I was embarrassed to miss straight away that the barman in Lock Stock who explains (via extensive Cockney rhyming) the tale of how Rory Breaker set a bloke on fire, was The Cat out of Red Dwarf

Bill Paxton is the coastguard radar operator in commando

[Ross1988]

Legolas is in black hawk down. Sorry, I can't remember the actors name.

He falls out of a helicopter in the initial snatch of the suspects near the beggining of the film.

[kenny Chim 4]

Speaking of which, I remember a character played by F. Murray Abraham being thrown out of a helicopter in the movie Scarface- a year before he won an Oscar for his wonderful portrayal of Antonio Salieri in Amadeus.

[Hyde]

Mike Myers in Inglorius Basterds (playing the English General who meets with Michael Fassbender)

Also in Inglorius Basterds, Rod Taylor playing Winston Churchill in the same scenes as Fassbender & Myers



I know he is better known as a Director, but wasn't Peter Jackson in Hot Fuzz?
Think he was the Santa who stabs Simon Pegg in the hand
I think Kate Blanchett was Simon Pegg's girlfriend, behind the forensic mask

Hank Azaria, Simpsons voices - Mo, Chief Wiggum, Apu, Carl, Lou etc - Godzilla, Night at the Museum was in Pretty Woman!

He was the inspector cop when "Skinny Marie bought it" in the dumpster and the people from Orlando were taking pics of the body. (So I'm reliably told.)













(I know every word of Pretty Woman as I've seen it at least 50 times maybe more since it came out. Phew! I'm glad I got that off my chest.) nothing to see here, move along.

Jason Alexander (George Costanza from Seinfeld) is also in Pretty Woman as one of Richard Gere's chums
