I spent the first hour of The Insider thinking that was really Mike Wallace. I was like "he can really act."

It didn't occur to me until last year that J. Jonah Jameson was Juno's dad. The differene a hair-piece can make.

The other day I noticed the Robin Williams-esque comedian in Hannah and Her Sisters was a young, baby-faced Lewis Black.

Or in old episodes of 'The Young Ones'. (Along with a very young Stephen Fry, 'Absolute Power' ruled!)


One I didn't know about for a while, not so much 'noticed' because you couldn't see him, but I KNEW I knew that voice: the King Of Jerusalem in 'Kingdom Of Heaven' was an uncredited role by Edward Norton.

Edison Chen (Infernal Affairs 2, 3) has a cameo in "The Dark Knight". He can be seen with Morgan Freeman when he goes to Hong Kong.

Oleg Prudius, who now wrestles under the name Vladimir Kozlov, has a small cameo in a few episodes of "The Wire" during its second season. He plays a bodyguard of "The Greek"

Taylor Momsen (Jenny from "Gossip Girl") is the cute little Cindy Lou-Who from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

Seth Rogen has a small part in "Donnie Darko"

He also played "fishboy" in House of 1,000 Corpses.

are you kidding? If you're referring to the Ben Affleck's line on the commentary, I think he just said "Dave Chappelle" since the guy kind of looked like him (not really). Kevin Smith laughs at how the guy doesn't look anything like Chappelle (other than being black, perhaps)

I didn't realize Wednesday's "boyfriend" in Addams Family Values was the guy from Numb3rs, or that the guy from Numb3rs is also the guy from Harold and Kumar.

On the series finale of Friends -- Jennifer Aniston sits beside Hugh Laurie. I know this was way before the House series started, but it is really weird all the same.

Two voice over questions:

1. Is the Nasonex bee Antonio Banderes? It really kind of sounds like him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrUF3JzD9P4


2. Is the go phone gingerbread man Steve Buscemi?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP-1mO2NxcQ

And the "son" sound creapily old. Like a 40 yo man living at home begging his dad for a phone.

^^Don't know about the first one (Antonio Banderas) but #2 is definitely Steve Buscemi.

His "creepily old" son sounds a lot like Norm MacDonald to me.

I was flipping through channels recently and saw some weird movie from a few years ago. David Schwimmer was going after Jon Krysinski with a baseball bat while Janene Garafalo stood by screaming. I think Garafalo was playing Schwimmer's ex who was now with Krysinski or something. Anyway the entire scene played like horrific miscasting.

Duane Hopwood (2005)

A well-meaning, if a bit thin, rock-bottom alcoholic drama. I came across a free screening promising an appearance by Roger Ebert. Alas, Ebert was in the midst of his health problems and his wife Chazz appeared (seemed nice enough).

The only thing interesting about Krasinski was that he WASN'T channeling the 'Jim' character in this role.

I didn't know until after Mamma Mia was over that the daughter was the same girl in Mean Girls and Veronica Mars first season.
