At the end of "The Monuments Men", the man playing an elderly George Clooney is Nick Clooney--George's dad.
in more surprising news, somebody actually watched Monuments Men all the way to the end.
Yes, Monuments Men was surprisingly bad.

Oh, geez. I have it my netflix queue. sounds like i need to take it out of there.
I just checked Rotten Tomatoes and 31% is about right. It had no suspense and obviously made by someone who did not know much about art.

This one is pretty lame because I have seen both movies a bunch of times and never caught it, but the guy that plays the investment guy in Casino (the one pesci threatens to break his skull if he doesn't give his money back) plays the guy in Office Space that tries to kill himself in his garage and (after his wife finds him and he changes his mind about suicide) backs out of his driveway into a huge wreck.

just noticed the Soup Natzi was the Vegas Blackjack dealer when Austin Powers stands on 5 in the first Austin Powers movie. He even looked at him like "you're pushing your luck little man."

let's not "jump to conclusions" here insein

 
Blackhawk Down is an amazing movie for this thread. Bit parts in here, WAY before any of them were famous and in some cases their first credit:

Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy from Modern Family) - Delta Medic that got to the first crash site and was providing care

Tom Hardy - Twombley, one of the two machine gunners that got split up from their chalk.

Ioan Gruffudd (Mister Fantastic ) - random Ranger

Orlando Bloom - Guy who falls from the Blackhawk when it veers to evade an RPG

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) - Gary Gordon, one of the delta snipers that got dropped off to guard Durant

Hugh Dancy - random Ranger

Watched it a year or so ago and it was pretty amazing reading the credits.

 
Surfed past Steven Seagall's On Deadly Ground the other day and caught Billy Bob Thornton as one of the nondescript bad guys. Just before Steven Seagall blowed him up.

 
The guy who was Tommy Lee Jones' sidekick in The Fugitive is the guy who sold out Neo and company in The Matrix.

Too many posts to reread in this thread so excuse if this is a retread but Billy Bob was also p!mp slapped by Kurt Russell in Tombstone when Earp decided he didn't like the cut of Thornton's jib while he was running a poker game.

OJ Simpson? He was also in some goofy movies with Peter Graves. Interesting...

Brad Pitt?

ETA: or Christian Slater?

ETA II: Anyone know that website that tells you about movies?

Why do people still think saying the wrong actor for a part is still funny shtick?

It's so dated, tiresome and unfunny even Tanner isn't doing it anymore.

 
Just watching Sopranos for the first time. The bakery worker who Christopher shoots in the foot in season 1, took me days to figure out it was the prohibition agent that Eli kills in Boardwalk Empire.

Not to mention that Joseph Gannascoli plays a nameless customer in that scene. The next season he starts playing Vito the Fanook.

So "The guy who played the husband in Mr. And Mrs. Smith is the same guy who played Achilles in Troy" wasn't Brad Pitt?

Owned.
Actually the guy who played Achilles in Troy was Patrocles who is Garrett Hedlund in real life. Brad Pitt actually was Achilles in that movie.

Wrong. But the traitor from The Matrix is the same guy Arnold promised to kill last in Commando.
Nope.

Matrix - Joe Pantoliano

Commando - David Patrick Kelly
