Similarly I remember when I discovered that Father Lonergan in The Quiet Man



was also Bert in It's A Wonderful Life

Great find.

I think this thread will only work with non obvious ones like that.

Something I spotted recently when re-watching The Dark Knight Rises. The police officer who gives the order to blow the bridge in front of Detective Blake is Desmond Harrington who played Detective Joey Quinn in Dexter.

He also plays the CO in Starship Troopers, something I didn't notice until I watched it again - for the 20th time - after Breaking Bad.

Not quite in line with everyone else's but Michael Fassbender was in that Guinnuess ad where he swam the atlantic to say sorry to someone in America. Only realised last year!

Duggy747

He was in Band of Brothers too, something I've seen a lot but never copped him being in it. Suppose it was before he got pretty famous.

I am pretty sure every actor ever was in band of brothers. Even Jimmy Fallon drove a jeep or something

Yeh, everyone, Andrew Scott from Sherlock, James McAvoy, Marc Warren, and that's just off the top of my head.

On that note the guy who gets left behind in the barn is the drunk at the reunion in Grosse Point Blank, the one with the **** poem.

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.

Pierce Brosnan was the IRA hitman in The Long Good Friday.

My favourite is Ronald Lacey:Major Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark (whose face melts - "Oh! THAT guy!"), who also played the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells in Blackadder II ("You see, I am a colossal pervert. No form of sexual depravity is too low for me. Animal, vegetable or mineral -- I'll do anything to anything.")

There was a terrible movie on RTE 1 last Saurday night called "Last Dance" with Sharon Stone in it.

I knew I recognised the lead male actor from somewhere and a quick google told he me was Rob Morrow who played Dr Joel Fleischmann in the brilliant 90's series "Northern Exposure".

Not obvious at all but he's also the voice of the father and son with the really strong accents in Pixar's Brave, supoosedly actually pretty close to his own real accent.
