Random movie "aha" moment (1 Viewer)

Was flipping through the Encore channels over the weekend and I came across Do The Right Thing. First person I spotted was Martin Lawrence talking with a funky lisp. He was one of a group of 4 that would pop up from time to time. But the one that had me going "aha" was when the character Buggin came on the screen. He was the one that was trying to organize a boycott. Took me a while to place the face, but once I did my jaw dropped. It was none other than Giancarlo Esposito.
Holy crap!
FBI agent in Usual Suspects, too
Yeah, that one I knew. Don't know if anyone has posted that here or not, but this one truly had my jaw drop.
For some reason I knew that one too, it's also not nearly as far off from Gus Fring as Buggin'.

 
Littlefinger from Game of Thrones is at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises.

Looked familiar and Wiki confirmed it. He's a better negotiator in Game of Thrones. He dies on the plane at the beginning with Bane.

 
Haven't seen either movie in a long time but for some reason it hit me yesterday; Peter Bull, aka the Russian ambassador in Dr. Strangelove also played Queen Anne in Yellowbeard.

 
Son and I rewatched Blade yesterday for the first time since we saw it at the theater. The first guy we noticed was Lem from The Shield

 
I am not going to read back on this thread. Sure it was probably mentioned.

But the first time I realized in Total Recall when I heard the assistant at Recall say "oh this is a new one, Blue Skies on Mars" I realized it was a total mind ***K. That it was all in his head from the implant at Recall.

This is actually a better premise than what the thread was originally intended.

 
Clancy Brown, the sheriff in Sleepy Hollow played Rawhide in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.

I was watching Alien 3 yesterday when I noticed the part of the prison doctor was none other than Tywin Lannister. Much better disposition in Aliens than GoT.

 
Not a movie but the new Bridgestone DriveGuard tire commercial features Julie Bowen aka Virginia Venit from Happy Gilmore.
Or more well known as Claire Dunphy from Modern Family.This could be good schtick.

He was also the inmate in Bad Boys whose face got ghetto blasted by Horowitz's radio.
Clancy Brown has literally been in every single film and television show ever made. Yes, literally.
True, there was this one little flick called Shawshank Redemption as well. I always think of him as Viking though from Bad Boys. Soda cans + pillow case = pain.

More from Yellowbeard: The stuttering pirate with the parrot on his shoulder was also in Raiders of the Lost Ark, as the Nazi who burned his hand trying to retrieve the headpiece from the staff of Ra.

"New York, New Yo-orrk!"

 
Was dragged by my wife yesterday to the chick flick Begin Again (with Keira Knightley).

Closing credits shows that the songs KK sung were written and produced by Danielle Brisebois - aka Archie Bunker's niece Stephanie.

He also has a cameo as Himmler in The Last Crusade (standing behind Hitler in the book burning scene).

He was also C3PO in Star Wars. Literally.

Yes, yes he was.

 
The dad from the middle (and janitor from scrubs) was the longshoreman who says "who are these ####in guys" in Major League
Had a bitpart as a cop on a train that tries to arrest Harrison Ford and is killed by the 1 armed man in The Fugitive. Scrubs did an episode joking about this, similar premise to this thread.

 
Flipping through cable yesterday and "under seige II" was on. Katherine Heigl played Steven Seagal's daughter.
Niece.
She also plays a chick who got a good night's sleep in a recent commercial. Good idea leaving Grey's Anatomy.
Aha...I had no idea her career tanked because of her 'tude...not really surprising though, although not sure why.
she made a bunch of romantic comedies that did well, but her career has really gone down hill the last few years. Probably classify this one as a celebrity endorsement

 
I think the new woman head of a mexican cartel on "The Bridge" is Bourne's girlfriend in the first two Jason Bourne movies.

 
Asian chick from the MIT blackjack team in 21 is the same chick that played Agent Lee for a season on NCIS as well as a bit role in one episode of the Sopranos.

The demon from the Golden Child who can't pronounce Js.
Hmm, that sounds different. Gotta be honest, I know I watched The Golden Child once all the way through but I remember exactly zero about any of it, it left that fine an impression.

It is. I recognized her name when they put it on at the beginning of the first episode ... Franka Potente. She's put on a little weight since the Bourne movies.

 
Watched "The War" with Kevin Costner and Elijah Wood (1994)

The youngest bully kid is the boy from "Sling Blade" and the QB from "Friday Night Lights"
