Watching older films and spotting more recent "faces"

[Famous Graham]

Just watching Young Guns II (having a bit of a late 80s/early 90s revival at the moment ) and had no idea Viggo Mortensen was in it.

And Cameron from Bueller.

And T-Bag from Prison Break.

(I half remembered CSI's Gil Grissom - William Petersen - played Garrett).

Any other examples of films you've rewatched recently and thought "blimey, that's whatsisface"?

[strudel]

Heat - has Dennis Haysbert in it (In 24 & The Unit).

[Famous Graham]

Oh, I forgot Bradley Whitford - West Wing's Josh Lyman - as the lawyer at the beginning and end in the 50s.

[phil-sti]

scarface has vigo mortensen in too

The opening scene of 80's classic "Wargames" (starring Matthew Broderick off of Two and Half Man) involves a couple of bit part actors playing two airmen arriving at a remote nuclear missile silo. The gents in question are Michael Madsen and Whatshisface who was Leo McGarry in The West Wing.

See, that's another indicator of age, right there

To anyone like me, it would be "Bueller"

Who does he play in Two and a Half Men?

Are you thinking of "Jon Cryer" who was also in Hot Shots with Charlie Sheen...?

I noticed Michael Madsen, he looked young!

Watched Kingdom of Heaven the other day and spotted Michael Sheen playing a grotty priest.

Samuel L Jackson in Goodfellas always cracks me up as well.

As Merlin.

I had to wind it back the first time to be sure!

Michael Caine in the Wisdom classic. The Bulldog Breed.

[Morningside]

Dunno about film but I like Kill Crazy (Red Dwarf) to Eastenders : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znde7PQW9b4&fea...

And even more odd. Did anyone see Wuthering Heights last night on ITV? Well, Tom Hardy goes from Bronson/The Take to Mr Hardy... Most odd.

Also Adrian Pasdar plays "Chipper" in Top Gun then later turns up to become much more famous as Nathan Petrelli in Heroes.

And a very young Lawrence Fishburne.

I've seen Earl Hickey crop up in a couple of older movies I've watched recently, namely A guy thing and Dogma.

He's a different person without the 'tache.

Another odd one. Although the wrong way round. Ted Levine.

From: Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs)


To: Leland Stottlemeyer (TV series Monk).

Just remembered another one.

Vir Cotto from Babylon 5

was one of the freshmen in Animal House
