Bill Paxton is the coastguard radar operator in commando

Also played Wyatt's older, knobby brother in Weird Science

And is one of the barflies encountered by Arnie in the first Terminator film.

Jeff Goldblum was one of the bad guys in 'Death Wish'.

Paxton wasnt in a bar in Terminator! (He's in loads of Cameron films)

Wasn't he the punk who got uppity then got dead in the first Terminator film?

On the subject of Cameron films, Vasquez in Aliens is John Connor's teminated foster mum on the phone in Terminator 2.


I did not know this for way too long after watching T2.

[Pesty]

Bloody hell so it is.

Star Trek TNG's Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) plays Russian mob wife Red in Netflix's new series Orange is the New Black.

Took me ages to realise that.

Janeway was the Captain of Voyager on Star Trek: Voyager

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.

Orlando Bloom. He's also in a episode of Midsomer Murders and gets stabbed with a pitchfork.

Most of the Trainspotting cast are in it as well. In fact, there's loads of non-American actors in key roles.

I wonder if the producers had difficulty casting American actors in what was seen as an American failure.

Perhaps. I also think Ridley Scott prefers to work with Brits and Aussies. Dunno really.

she was also mrs columbo in a tv series (blasphemy) not the actual columbo series.

Just ducking in, have we have Rob Brydon in Lock stock, as the traffic warden?

[kenny Chim 4]

He also played the main character's father in MirrorMask- a neat little indie movie - but, alas, has one of the worst music soundtracks imaginable..

Clancy Brown, who played the chief prison warder in Shawshank Redemption, was also 'The Krugen' who severed the Spaniard (Sean Connery's) head in the original Highlander.

Just watching Monk on ITV. The actor who plays the chief of police was also the serial killer, Buffalo Bill, in Silence of the Lambs.

Also Matthew something or other (Marsden?) off Coronation Street is the soldier who gets told he can't fight wth a cast on his arm so cuts it off with a knife.

[markcurtains]

Sorry, one more I've just remembered, Ben Wishaw who plays Q in Skyfall is Sienna Miller's boyfriend in Layer Cake

[Bibbs]

one of Robson and Jerome (dunno which) and Dennis Penis are in Game Of Thrones.

[mikial]

City Slickers with Jack Palance but here he is in Shane nearly 40 years previously as Wilson the black hatted baddie
