Actors and Actresses

[couriermike]

Know of any famous actors playing in movies where you might not recognize them? Favorite movies? Most talented actor? Most beautiful actress?

Here's two of my favorites, the talented Vincent D'Onofrio and the beautiful Jenny Agutter.

This is Vincent D'Onofrio as Det. Goren, star of Law and Order: Criminal Intent,


as Thor in the 80s flick Adventures in Babysitting, quite the stud 20 years ago,


which also starred the lovely Elisabeth Shue


hello!


Vincent as the psycho recruit in Full Metal Jacket


and as Pan in the 2000 movie The Cell. A talented and versatile actor.


Here's one of the most beautiful actresses from the 70's, Jenny Agutter.
She played a nurse in American Werewolf in London,


but is most famous for her role as Jessica6 in the 1976 movie Logan's Run

@ courier


he was also the coch roach in men in black 1

[couriermike]

He's really good. He's been in alot of stuff. When Jeff Goldblum took his place on CI it was just WTF. Goldblum's a good actor too, but not believable as a cop, not intimidating in any way.

BTW, did you ever see Mr. Frost? Where Jeff Goldblum plays a psycho murderer asylum inmate who says he's the devil and spends all his time baking these awesome cakes, then he just takes a picture of them and throws them away? Very weird.

kmind, I never would have gotten that was Vince Vaughn. He must be really young there.

KIP PARDUE AND XANDER BERKELEY

The thug Arnold Schwarzenegger steals his clothes from at the beginning of Terminator is Bill Paxton, the hilarious Pvt Hudson from Aliens. Of course, the back-from-the-future father of John Connor in Terminator is Michael Biehn, the cool competent Cpl Hicks from Aliens. And Lance Henriksen, the cyborg from Alien, is a cop who gets killed by a cyborg in Terminator. Coincidence? I think not.

lolzzz, I must be much older than you. I don't recognize either of those names.

Terminator and Aliens were both directed by Cameron

That explains it. He's really talented. Terminator was on last night, that's what got me thinking about all this.


unrelated- unfortunately it appears that Elizabeth Shue's butt is copyrighted. sorry liz.

The creepy dude from No Country for Old Men never seems to look the same in any of his movies.

lol, that could be any of the guys i grew up with. He was really good in Snatch too as the unintelligible gypsy boxing champion, genius.

He is creepy, good hair tho.

Speaking of creepy, Jennifer Carpenter is kinda creepy hot.

Nice 'stache. Did not recognize him at all. Classic line, 'Was she a great big fat person?' ...aren't they all?

Cannot stand this chick. Deb is such a dreadful character

I haven't seen that show but I've heard it's really good.

Paxton has had a lot of roles, none of them major, that are little hidden gems I think. There are a lot of actors like that, mostly play 2nd fiddle, show up in a lot of places you wouldn't imagine... of course right now I can't name a single one. LOL.

Lance Henriksen is like that, too. Did you see Near Dark, with him and Paxton as modern day vampires? That was pretty good.

the great mark hamill as COCK KNOCKER!!!!!!

He was the lead in Frailty, also directed it. Great movie.

This thread has the flow of awkward small talk.

I hear it's going to snow again.

Two inches. Boy.

How can you sit there with your giant freakish steroid body and say that? You're right tho.

[couriermike]

Anybody recognize Jungle Boy from Gilligan's Island?

[boost]

Jack Bauer?

[couriermike]

Kurt Russell, big child star.

What's that Stallone movie where he plays the aging gangster come home to investigate his brother's death? Mickey Rourke is in it too. Get Carter, that's it. That was pretty good.

Anybody ever see Eraserhead? That was freaky. Pi's kinda similar. Not something you wanna watch everyday.

[Jack Sawyer]

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa

[jackvance]

l

The hair made his character so extra awesome.

[flomo]

Big Momma as your momma

[couriermike]

He was the lead in Frailty, also directed it. Great movie.

I'd forgotten about that movie. That was disturbing.

It kinda seems like anyone overtly religious in a hollywood movie is an evil nutcase, maybe i'm generalizing. There was a low budget church movie that was really good called Flywheel, about a used car salesman who cheats all his customers, then gets religion and goes around town individually apologizing to everyone and giving their money back. That was surprisingly funny/good.
