The Boeing 747, dubbed Air Orca, which is owned by Orca Bay Entertainment, was repainted to serve as Air Force One in the movie Air Force One, starring Harrison Ford.

Just watched Bourne Identity again. I didn't realize it was Clive Owen as the innept *(compared to Bourne) sniper rifle favoring assassin. Great part IMHO.

Spoiler:
*Sniper killed by a shotgun and whatnot. Great scene.


(Also the guy from The Shield, American Beauty and that vapid chick...and, oh fuck it.)

I DID NOT REALIZE!

I was watching the newly bought New Jack City special edition the other day when in the scene where Nino is talking to the neighborhood, you can see a crackhead walking around in the background named Adam Sandler for a second. Maybe he was on the set visiting his friend Chris Rock (who I'd also forgot was in it, along with Judd Nelson)?

speaking of Point Break, the security guard at the ending bank robbing scene (the guy who doesn't want to back up the undercover cop) is Kevin on the US version of the Office

According to IMDB (which I realize isn't 100% accurate), that's wrong. It has this guy listed.

I was watching a video from this band called 30 Seconds to Mars and thought that the lead singer looked like Jared Leto then I found out that the lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars IS Jared Leto.

Some actors I missed the first time:

Heat: The replacement driver is Dennis Haysbert (24).

Black Hawk Down: One of the Delta soldiers is Eric Bana (Hulk, Troy). The Ranger captain is Jason Isaacs (The Patriot).

Titanic: The captain of the ill-fated ship is Bernard Hill (King Theoden from the Lord of the Rings movies).

Excalibur: Uther (Arthur's father) is Gabriel Bryne (Usual Suspects), Gawain is Liam Neeson, (Episode I: The Phantom Menace), Leondegrance (Guenevere's father) is Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Morgana is Helen Mirren (Prime Suspect). Whew!

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World: One of Captain Aubrey's crew is Billy Boyd (Pippin from the Lord of the Rings movies).

Clear and Present Danger: The Black Ops captain is Benjamin Bratt (Law & Order). Jack Ryan's daughter is Thora Birch (Ghost World).

Smalls from The Sandlot showing up a SSgt. Yurek in Black Hawk Down.

I watched Se7en and Memento yesterday, forgetting that Mark Boone Junior was in both. The most recent thing people probably remember him for is Flass in Batman Begins.

and if I hadn't heard prior to seeing it, I never would have known, the man who had no face in Hannibal was Gary Oldman
How could you not recognize Gary Oldman? There is a flash back sequence where he is just himself....no make-up.

Well a guy who i didn't really notice the first time around was Viggo Mortensen in both Carlito's Way and The Prophecy. I don't think it was a case of not recognizing him, its just that at this point he was not as big a star.
