Thank you for the time... |

He was also Juno's dad in Juno. |

It always amuses me to no end that Hilary Swank was the Karate Kid.

Bill Paxton also has the claim of being the only actor killed by a Terminator, Predator & Alien.

On that note, I was watching that 'new' X-Files movie ('I Want to Belive'?) a couple of years ago, and I remember thinking: "Damn, Scully aged well."

(And that would be one mess of a crossover event!)
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
Revisiting 'V' I forgot that Robert Englund and Michael Ironside were both in that.
E.T. in the Senate seats of one of the SW prequels (and I thought I saw the actor that played Willow in the stands of the pod-racing scene of Ep 1).
The quick-shot of the xeno-morph head in Predator 2.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's face in Terminator: Salvation.
Watching Helena Bonham pop up everywhere (ie. "Hey, wasn't she in Fight Club?")... if there's going to be a headcase female put into a script, I'm fully expecting her to be cast for the role.

Adrian Paul, best known as Duncan Macleod was also in

2. War of the Worlds TV series
3. Jeremiah Collins in the 1991 Dark Shadows series
4. a 1991 tv movie "The Owl"

I still can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that Robert De Niro played Fearless Leader in the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie.
Also, speaking of prestigious actors doing goofy roles, Patrick Stewart as the green-goo, egg-obsessed alien king in Jimmy Newtron: Boy Genius movie was a bit of a surprise too.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Quote:
What's surprising is some of the stuff Patrick Stewart has done in the role of Director Avery Bullock on American Dad. The stuff is funny in and of itself, but then you realize that it is also Prof. Xavier, Gurney Halleck, Captain Picard, King Richard, and a knight to boot saying those lines.

I've always said that, out of all the actors and actresses I like, Patrick Stewart is the only one I'd like to meet. He has such a wonderful sense of humor about himself and his work.
Goodbye, I guess.

Steamboy isn't Stewart's only Anime work. He also did Lord Yupa in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Also Eward James Olmos & Uma Thurman did Characters in that film's English Dub as well.|

Thank you for the time...
@Travlr (Main) / @Tymers Realm (Test) 
One of my favorites was somebody I recognized right away but it made me laugh so hard I almost stopped breathing.
The actor is John Pyper-Fergusun. He has been in tons of genre related stuff and if you don't recognize the name you would recognize the face as soon as you saw him. His first recurring role was on Brisco County Junior as Pete. If you haven't watched the series he was sort of the original Kenny (Southpark) He apparently died in every episode he was in but kept coming back with no explanation in further episodes.
Now comes the part that made me laugh hysterically and I'm certain that the writers or casting agents must have done this deliberately. The first role he had after Brisco was in an episode of Highlander and he of course played an immortal.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

How about the time Rowdy Roddy Piper appeared in an episode of Robocop the Series as Commander Cash, and the episode of Highlander as Anthony Galen?
Also the John Carpenter movie THEY LIVE
Quote:
You did. He also played the young Rodian (think Greedo) named Wald, though that would obviously be much more difficult to spot.

The guy who played Green Lantern, and the guy who should have played Green Lantern, were both on the short-lived sitcom, "Two Guys, A Girl, And a Pizza Place."
