    Black Books is a goldmine when it comes to this sort of thing. You notice a lot of familiar faces that wouldn't have been as familiar first time round
    Nick Frost
    Simon Pegg
    Omid Djalili
    Rob Brydon
    Johnny Vegas
    David Walliams
    Martin Freeman
    Whole heap of them

    Frost and Pegg to be fair were well established in Spaced when they did Black Books were they not?

    Pegg was the paedophile in the stocks in the notorious Brass Eye Special though:

    Not really movie related but was watching Better Call Saul the other night and thought the guy playing Nacho looked awfully familiar:

    Turns out he was the bad guy in Far Cry 3:

    Keeping with the WWII team Vin Diesel is the guy shot by the sniper in Saving private Ryan. Also, everybody's favorite actor Nathan Fillion is the "Wrong Private Ryan" earlier in the movie.

    Saving private ryan had a really big cast,

    Eddie from Friends was one of the privates (he gets stabbed at the end)
    and phoebes brother was the medic,hes in gone in sixty seconds too.

    think ted danson was in it too ?

    Michael Shannon, who would later take on far more intense roles in Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road and Take Shelter, and play General Zod in Man of Steel, was one of the newlyweds in Groundhog Day. You know, the ones who get all excited 'cos Phil gets them Wrestlemania tickets? :)

    Eric Stonestreet, best known for playing Cameron in the series Modern Family, played a hotel clerk in Almost Famous.


    - Are you Mr. Miller?
    - Yeah.
    - You have a message from Elaine, your mother. She's a handful.
    - I know.
    - She freaked me out.

    Giovanni Ribisi (Pheobe's brother) and Adam Goldberg (Eddie)

    Saving Private Ryan spoilers (not that they really matter now :D)...
    They both experience horrifying deaths in the movie, as is the way with war, not sure which was more harking; Ribisi's character constantly pleading for his "Mommy" as the blood spews out of his body on the battlefield, or Goldberg's character realising his fate as he begs the German soldier to "Wait...wait!" as he slowly sticks the knife into him. Grim.

    Almost Famous pics

    Almost Famous is one of my favourite movies and I never copped Eric Stonestreet and Jimmy Fallon, thanks for that delbert!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,654 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    I wouldn't worry about it! I saw Almost Famous on its original cinema release and didn't realise until the closing credits that Noah Taylor (at that point, probably best known for playing the young David Helfgott in Shine) was playing Stillwater's original manager. :)

    Andreas Wisniewski played Necros (the villain with the exploding milk bottles) in The Living Daylights.
    He also played Tony (Karl's brother) in Die Hard. The only terrorist "with feet smaller than my sister", as McClane remarks.

    Fred Willard, best known as part of Christopher Guest's ensemble in Best In Show, A Mighty Wind, etc., as well as his appearance as the Air Force base commander in Spinal Tap, has a brief, more or less "straight" role in the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor comedy-thriller, Silver Streak.

    Keeping on the Almost Famous thing, I'm sure its well known (or maybe not) that their bass player is Mark Kozelek from Red House Painters:

    Tom Hardy is in more then one episode as far as I can remember.

    This thread came into my head last night. I've been watching The West Wing with the misses in a serious binge, and kept looking at V.C bob Russell thinking "where do I know him from"
