I didn't know he/she was in this!
« on: November 27, 2009, 01:27:22 AM »
I seem to get a lot of pleasure out of spotting famous actors in films I didn't know they were in.

For example:

Kevin Bacon was in Planes, Trains & Automobiles? Huh.

or

Is that a young John Rhys-Davies in The Naked Civil Servant?

For me, it's more about spotting famous actors before they hit it big time, but whatever works.

That's a good job spotting John Rhys-Davies there. I don't think I would've recognized him looking so young.

I believe it's Mathieu Almaric, but I may be wrong.

Well that explains why I didn't recognize him, I have no idea who that is.

Watching Donnie Brasco on Showtime the other night, I was surprised to see that the wiretap tech who asks Donnie to explain 'fuggedaboudit' is played by Paul Giamatti; and Tim Blake Nelson plays his partner.
