In "42", I knew I recognized the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers but couldn't place him.

It's Wojo from "Barney Miller".

He was also in the second to last Mad Men

Detour into TV here: I caught an episode of The Office last night. Badger from Breaking Bad played one of Dwight's cousins.

This is pushing it, but what double connection to the movie (without ever appearing in it) does Gavin McCloud have to the movie Airplane?

Half right. And quit calling him Shirley.

Spoiler

In the movie Jill Whelen plays the sick daughter of

Joyce Bulifant.

Whelen played McCloud's daughter on Love Boat & Bulifant played his wife

on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

There was no appearance or mention of the father/husband anywhere during

Airplane, I'm assuming because he was at the time on a boat.

Showed Rounders to my girlfriend the other day. The guy who played Angel in Dexter and Maroni in Gotham and Morales in OZ was one of the men at the table in the police game who kicked the asses of Matt Damon and Ed Norton after Norton was caught dealing from the bottom of the deck.

 

[Gr00vus]

Sorry if this was posted before, but I just finished watching Deadwood and realized Stephen Tobolowsky, who played Hugo Jarry (the annoying government official from Yankton) in that played Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day. So apparently he's got a knack for playing ineffectual annoying characters.

My car was in Almost Famous, it played a 1968 Porsche 912.

speaking of cars, my old building was in Vanilla Sky for the car crash (96th and Riverside Drive). My apt was above camera view there- but I was leaning out of it watching the entire time- and ignoring all the PAs yelling at me to not. freezing day, and they had at least half a dozen of those cars lined up, ready to crash. IIRC, they crashed 3.

Never made that connection before.

[Shankopotamus]

Not an actor showing up in a early bit part. But it's funny how you can watch a movie literally dozens of times, and then suddenly catch a minute detail that you've never noticed.

I've seen Die Hard probably over 30 times. And only just last night caught the fact that two of Hans' terrorists were betting on whether Hans would blow the Japanese boss's head off. After the splatter shot and right when McClain distracts everyone, you see Karl paying off the bet.
