Who the hell is that?

Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and see an actor/actress and just KNOW you have seen them somewhere else? Or, you look someone up on IMDB and find out that they showed up in some other weird role in something youve seen before, but never realised it?


Fo rone, Saras, the bad guy in Glaxy Quest. the same guy who played him wa sin Lost world. Remember the english couple with the little girl who gets attacked at the beginning? He is the father.

Also, the lawyer for the satan worshipper in Revelations was the killer in Saw.

And did you ever realise that Kevin Spacey was in Hear no Evil, See no Evil? and Outbreak?

I quite often find myself on imdb after watching a film , looking up actors names, because I remember seeing them in something else.

I just noticed on imdb now, if you click on members coment s down the bottom, it goes to a registration page now, so you can't read them.

I do this as well....especially if its an older movie [70s or 80s ] and I want to see what happened to a certain person.Sometimes i'm quite surprised what happened to their careers. Case in point.

The kid from "A Christmas Story" who stuck his tongue on the lamp post,went on to do porno...same with Evil, from "Fright Night"...he went on to do gay porn.

Speaking of A Christmas story.. The evil redheaded kid that Ralphy ends up beating played the younger step brother on the show Titus.

worst one to ever happen to me; in Deep Impact, the truck driver that killed the scientist who discovered the asteroid. I swore I'd seen him before, but the truck driver wasn't fucking listed on IMDB. It took me 3 hours to realize it was Kenny the Cameraman from Scream

Oh, Deep Impact is listed, but that particular character isn't. It annoyed the fuck out of me

i had a meeting with a woman - last name of Foote...

it rang a bell - i asked her - isnt't there a famous person named Foote ? a writer ?

she didnt know ...

then i said - the name Horton Foote is in my head ...

so i looked it up - Horton Foote is a screenwriter ... (To Kill A Mockingbird among others)
