Toby from American Splendor- the "special needs" fellow who liked Jelly Bellys and Revenge of the Nerds- was Judah Friedlander, the guy on 30 Rock with the hats.

thinking about sgt. hulka thread, it only occurred to me last night that warren oates played hulka in "stripes". i never really connected oates in a comedy for some reason.

I think that's what made his role so good, Oates played it straight in the middle of a comedy.

I remember him fro 1975's Race with The Devil, which scared the crap out of me when I was young.

I just looked it up and there was a Fonda in there also. I don't remember him from the movie.

I didn't realize for a long time that Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel) was the six-fingered man in The Princess Bride.

Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) is in this crime drama, Criminal Minds my wife watches (and I watch because she's always watching re-runs of it) I didn't realize it was him until he was on screen and my wife goes: "my name is Inigo Montoya, you keelled my father, prepare to die."

I'm an idiot I didn't realize this....

It was funny, this Sunday I was watching both LOTR 1 and 5th element on different channels. I kind of knew it was the same guy but watching them simultaneous was just like "oh."

I guess "Didn't Know" kind of eliminates this one because I think most of us know most of the movie was improvised....but Bull Murray's Dali Lhama speech in Caddyshack is entirely inprovised.

This guy also apparently plays some part in Elmo in Grouchyland....a character named Huxley.I only know this because I have a friend who is obsessed with the idea that I look exactly like this Huxley character.

Emile Hirsch - probably movies no one has seen but is the skater tough guy in Lords of Dogtown and the neighbor from "The Girl next Door"

Just saw both recently again, didn't realize that was him in either

Really?His performance in BonRK is probably one of the best of all time.

He also owned 49% of Guinness breweries at the time of his death, and rumor was he was interred in one of the subbasements.

Did you know that the hat Reiner was wearing throughout Tap is hanging in Fred Savage's bedroom in Princess Bride?

Awesome!

Is it the same one? what was the one in Tap - USS Doral Sea or something like that.BTW, Tufnel, you are a disgrace to your namesake/avatar

Cool link. And they got it exactly right with Full Metal Jacket. I've always thought it was awesome that Ermey as technical advisor essentially said to Kubrick, "Here, watch how it's done," and got the part. My father, who was in the Marine Corps, has told me that there were indeed times that the DI's would say some fall-off-your-chair hilarious ####, but God help you if you laughed.

Caught a little bit of The Commitments for the first time since it first came out... had no idea Glenn Hansard (The Swell Season and Once, the movie) was the guitar player in the band.

There are a lot of actors from that movie (one of my favorites) that pop up all over. Most recently I have seen Maria Doyle Kennedy as the nanny in Dexter and of corse COlm Meany has been in near every TV series out there in the last 15 years.

I believe most of Murray's lines were improv in that. I know that the whole "Cinderella Story" was off the cuff.

Was just watching "Planes, Trains And Automobiles". Early on there is a scene where Candy & Martin hitch a ride in the back of a pickup driven by a tobacco-chewing (and spitting) hillbilly named Owen.

Owen looked vaguely familiar to me.

Turns out.........he's Dylan Baker, a classic character actor, probably best known as Dr. Connors in the "Spider Man" movies; he also portrayed Robert McNamara in "Thirteen Days" and he's done literally hundreds of other roles.

 

[Sarnoff]

Dylan Baker

Is it sad I know who this is without having to see the pic? Classic "Hey it's that guy!" guy.
