Considering I linked a picture from Major League, I'd say, yes, I know who he is. I didn't realize it was him in H&M due to the way he was dressed and that scruffy beard. It didn't look like him and didn't even know he was in the show till I saw the credits w/his name.

 Most people have given out the ones that I knew (like Jack Black in X-Files). Vincent D'Onofrio as Thor blew my mind. Most of Liam Niesson's smaller parts have been noted, but I know I was surprised to see him in the role of a priest in The Mission (excellent movie if you haven't seen it) along Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. |

One that I didn't believe reading it in the credits after watching the movie: In Moulin Rouge!, Audrey, the writer who storms out rather than collaborate with Christian, is played by David Wenham, Faramir from The Lord of the Rings.

You forget to add that he was dressed as a woman. That made Faramir kind of disturbing to me once I realized it was the same actor. *shudders*|

I'm still trying to wash my brain out after an image someone put up on this forum of Mr. Smith/Elrond/Hugo Weaving in drag for a movie role. Heh.

Anyway. Bunch of people keep bringing up Mark Hamill as the Joker. I think the first time I figured it out was after seeing one of my favorite Batman cartoons for the second time, where the Joker is infecting people in Gotham with some kind of gas barge on the river. Has some awesome music, and then my brother or I noticed "Mark Hamill" by The Joker. Blew our minds about as much as The Usual Suspects a little later (we watched that one twice in a row).
Which incidentally had Pete Postlethwaite in it, who played minor roles in all kinds of crazy and all over the place movies, like Inception, Romeo and Juliet, and even Dragonheart.

Also the voice of the robot character Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba! is the lead singer of the Aquabats. |
Dr. Cox from Scrubs was in the movie Se7en.

And Alyssa Milano was in Commando.

He was also Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights (much of the cast from that show is starting pop up all over the place). Speaking of, Kyle Chandler (Coach Eric Taylor) was that a-hole wannabe country music singer Buddy Jackson in Pure Country (with George Strait).|

Someone brought up J.K. Simmons, he was also Dale Earnhardt's father, Ralph Earnhardt, in the ESPN movie: 3. And on the subject of Spider-man actors, I'm having a hard time seeing Denis Leary as Capt. Stacy after so many years as firefighter Tommy Gavin on Rescue Me (I miss that show
).One more, I was recently watching ST:TOS "Day of the Dove" with this Klingon officer as the main antagonist. Every time he spoke, I knew I'd heard that voice somewhere; that very slow, calculating voice. And then I think he says something over the intercom, and that mechanical tinge with his voice made it click: Michael Ansara who plays Kang in that episode (and later episodes of DS9), was also Mr. Freeze in Batman: TAS.
In fact, when I was looking through IMDb's listing on BTAS, I was surpised at some of the names, specifically ST alumni, that had voice roles in that show.
Freedom
Blueside: Knight'Hawk, lvl 50, Scrapper
Yellowside: Dark'Falcon (Loyalist), lvl 20, Blaster
That Stinging Sensation #482183
Thomas Jane was in Face Off with Travolta and Cage.

Riker, Troi, Worf, Data, & Janeway off the top of my head. As well as the rest of the overall cast of that show. Now that is a show I miss...
Thank you for the time...

Jon Favreau as a lackey to both Daredevil and Iron Man. Didn't know he directed the second one as well.

I was watching my SG-1 dvds and saw someone familiar. It looks like Allison from Eureka played Teal'c's wife in the first season. Apparently, they changed actresses in the second season.
I don't know if it's been posted yet, but I just realized last night that Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) was in Alien 3.

If internet celebrities and Reality shows count Egoraptor of "metalgear awesome" fame was on the third season of The Tester.

And of course, another Tim Curry doing an excellent villain. *goes to watch clue*
And speaking of janeway - Dragon Age and Warehouse 13 too.
Both of those seem to attack ex-Star Trek actors. Wonder who'se next for W13.

Was watching Batman Begins this weekend before going to see the latest one. Was surprised to see King Joffrey in it.

Also, Erica Durance of Smallville fame was in SG-1. (apologies if already posted)
