I was watching Zootopia yesterday and was looking through the cast list and saw that the voice actor for the rhino police officer was Rhino from Gladiators. Nice pun that 99% of the audience would never have known about.

Makes sense why they listed him as the voice actor when the rhino doesn't talk in the movie, he just shrugs.

 

[NoRéN]

Dont know if this was posted but, this got me pretty good

-edit holy crap this thread is old

Bones was also

Eomer In LoTR

And

And Vaako in Chronicles of Riddick:

and

Kirill in The Bourne Supremacy.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Xander Berkeley of 24 and The walking Dead to name but two things

Is Todd in Terminator 2..it hit when I saw the 4K 3D release, never saw it before

He also pops up with an uncredited role as a scientist in The Rock

He also plays Christopher Crawford in Mommie Dearest

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Karl Urban plays in movies. Who knew??

 

[dl77]

Karl Urban plays in movies. Who knew??

I just genuinely don't know how people are unaware that the guy who played Judge Dredd was also in Star Trek/LotR. He literally looks the same - except more scowl-ey in Dredd?!

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

He also plays Christopher Crawford in Mommie Dearest

Al Pacino also got pissed at him for watching his television set in Heat.

He also played the Waingro role in LA Takedown.

 

[Manu]

Karl Urban is still my perfect pick for Green Arrow in the DCCU. Just dye him blond, he already did it for LOTR.

 

[Platy]

Karl Urban plays in movies. Who knew??

Yeah dude looks the same in all movies .. I can understand Dredd because you only see his mouth and Doom because nobody saw that movie the only memorable scene of that movie only features his hands =P

And the cabbie who asked if Elisabeth Shue took a backdoor delivery in Leaving Las Vegas!

Ahh Faye. <3

Also in Doctor Who.

And Black Mirror

She was also in some episodes of Fresh Meat.

 

[element]

Been watching Law & Order starting with Season 1 and a number of actors in random roles is crazy.

In just one episode you have Samuel L. Jackson and Philip Seymour Hoffman

 

[Shadow Hog]

Nah, he gets a few lines near the start of the Little Rodentia chase ("This is Officer McHorn, we got a 10-31." and "Hey! Meter maid! Wait for the real cops!").

 

[DMVfan123]

I was scrolling through TV channels one day and I saw that the actor who plays Hawkman in Legends of Tomorow S1 was in White House Down too

 

[ClivePwned]

I've been rewatching Toast of London and watching the new series of Upstart Crow and just made this connection.

The guy on the right in the recording studio scenes on Toast of London (Not Clem Fandango)

is Kit Marlow in Upstart Crow. Both are Tim Downie.

He's not exactly HOLY SHIT worthy, but is that Gil Bellows sitting in Hoffman's shadow?

According to IMDB, yes.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Watched the recently released 4K UHD of StarShip Troopers and was amazed how many people I recognized in there (now) outside of the main roles.

Someone in this thread previously mentioned that Seth Gilliam (Father Gabriel/Walking Dead, Ellis Carver/The Wire) was in it.

And Dean Norris (Hank/Breaking Bad, other things)..

..who was also apparently in Terminator 2 (WHAAAA?)

Timothy Omundson (Psych, Galavant, stuff)...

A freaking GOLDEN GIRL.. Rue McClanahan..

Amy Smart.. before she was in a ton of memorable things.. and way before she was in a bunch of non-memorable things..

Robert David Hall.. the Chief Medical guy on CSI a million years ago..

And probably more, but those were the ones that jumped out at me. There were way more recognizable people in that now than there were in 1997!

Spoiler

(How does time work?)

 

[into.it.over.it]

Spaced is a goldmine for this stuff.

And Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who/Sherlock writer and Plays Sherlock's brother Mycroft as one of the agents after the drugs.

Other guy is Kevin Eldon, who played two different characters in GoT.

Spoiler

The guy from the troupe in Bravos who plays Ned and one of the Goldcloaks who gets their head smashed by Gendry in the latest season.

I found an image but i'm not sure how to spoiler tag images. It's linked to a spoiler that's pretty well known, but wouldn't want to risk it

It's honestly still shocking to me how many things Samuel L. Jackson manages to randomly pop up in.
I think his wiki filmography has its own page. lol

So I'm watching Hellraiser 8 when fucking Superman shows up. Nearly choked to death on my drink

I was watching Seinfeld the other night, and I've seen this episode and Scrubs many times before but who should show up but Ted from Scrubs. He plays a creepy guy Elaine bumps into on the Subway reading a TV guide. Can't remember the name of the episode.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon in Game of Thrones and as Fred Flinstone in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.

 

[ClivePwned]

Clem Fandango from Toast of London appearing as a regular in Star Trek Discovery blew my mind this week. Was not expecting that

[Ri'Orius]

So I just watched Absolutely Anything on Netflix as background noise while I did some work, and thought to myself, "huh, wonder who that Robin Williams soundalike they got for the dog is."

It was the real Robin Williams. The last movie he ever did, looks like. And it's... not good. Great cast: Williams, Simon Pegg, apparently Eddie Izzard, John Cleese and a couple other Pythons. But a pretty ho-hum movie. Decent background noise, though.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Ace Ventura's landlord is Victor Salamanca from Breaking Bad.

Even if you are unaware of him playing in these films. What is mindblowing about an actor showing up in different roles in different movies?

Depends if people remember it or not.... It's watching something 20 years later and having no recollection that the actor playing Judge Dredd and Bones was also the Cupid character (and Julius Ceaser) you vaguely remember from Hercules and Xena.

 

[Scotch]

And Black Mirror

The lead actress in that episode (on the right) played Diane in Trainspotting.

 

[Florist]

Does she play the Grey Lady in the last Harry Potter film?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

She was also in "No Country for Old Men":

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Just watched the recent Fantastic Four film and was trying to place the actor playing Johnny Storm for ages. About half way through realised it's Wallace from The Wire. I haven't seen him in anything since so was a bit holy shit.

You mean Michael B Jordan, aka Michael "Should Have Been Nominated for an Oscar for CREED" Jordon, soon to be seen as the villain in Marvel's Black Panther, and one of the most promising young actors in the business right now? You mean that guy?

[Alx]

Most people know about Christopher Judge (Teal'c) making an appearance in MacGyver, but I just learned that Mayim Bialik (Amy from the Big Bang Theory) had a small recurring role too (3 episodes)

Even with the photo it's hard to recognize her.

The boy from Dark Knight is Joffrey. Sure that's been said 500 times in this topic alrdy.
