The One and Only "Who's that guy?" thread

[Guest Anglesault]

We've all had this experience. We're watching a movie, and for whatever reason, one of the actors peaks our interest. It's always an uncredited character, a minor character with one or two lines and very little screen time ( I wouldn't call it an extra, exactly) Anyway, either it's a particularly hot girl (or guy, whatever) and you want to know their name, or you know you recognize him/her but you can't think of his name or what he's from, so it eats you up.

 

Well, hopsefully we can help eachother in this thread. Feel free to post all your "Ooh, who's that?" or "you know, HIM!" in this thread and maybe the guys at this board can help you out.

 

Okay, my turn.

 

A friend (female) of mine wants to know who the blond guy that plays Flash's friend in Spiderman is (He tries to help in the fight). Anyone have an idea?

[Guest Mole]

Nope.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

There Mole goes speaking for everyone again.

 

I believe you are referring to Justin Neill. Check his imdb listing and picture here.

[Guest Downhome]

I still want to know who the hell that "Dark Figure" is in the background of that one scene in The Ring!

[Guest El Satanico]

Yep I'm always having those "who is that" experiences.

 

Phillip Seymour Hoffman use to be the master of this. Luis Guzman is another good "who is that" actor because he's seemingly in everything.

[Guest the pinjockey]

Is Luiz Guzman, Pachanga's real name? That always bothers me because I see him in everything and just think Pachanga then I can't remember his actual name.

yes

[Guest Vern Gagne]

That guy in the Bruce Willis movie where he's a river boat cop with Sarah Jessica Parker.

 

He's a big bald guy with longer hair who gets in a fight with Willis.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

The movie you're thinking of Verne is Striking Distance and the actor is Brion James. Check out his imdb listing.

I still want to know who the hell that "Dark Figure" is in the background of that one scene in The Ring!

 

It's either not a person at all and just a figure made by actors shadows(90% sure) or Chris Cooper from his deleted role(which I really doubt, since he was in prison the whole time). I thought we settled this in The Ring thread or something, so that's where I'm getting this from.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

CHRIS COOPER WAS IN PRISON?!??

 

Anyways, he used to be that guy, but after Adaptation I pretty much know who he is.

 

I don't know his name nor do I care all that much, but it's just that I'm interested in some of his work, and I want to know if he's the same guy. I'm talking about Matt Damon's roommate in School Ties, and it's not the same guy as Neil from Dead Poet's Society..is it?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

No, Neil from Dead Poets Society is Robert Sean Leonard. It's been forever since I've seen School Ties, but you're either thinking of Anthony Rapp or Cole Hauser.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

For Your Paragon of Virtue, I'll put this in spoilers even though the footage has never been seen, not even on that super DVD we got...

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

Cooper played a child murderer who Naomi Watts was doing a story on. Her first scene is interviewing him and his subsequent begging to her about getting him out. He says he's innocent, but Watts is smart, tough reporter woman! She refuses to help him. Then at the end of the movie, she gives her copy of the video to him.   So the moral of the story: Don't murder no kids, yo.

[Guest Harry Hood]

the girl at the end of Jason X is undeniably hot and i dont' think she does anything else, same iwth the princess in 13 ghosts.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Thanks Deacon. Didn't know he died 4 years ago.
